Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThe design and overall feel that Nir has created at Rohotu Fare is genuinely unique and an experience that I would recommend highly. I enjoyed the close proximity to the everyday life and culture of the island. Enjoyed being in the jungle, yet still feeling immersed in rustic luxury. For obvious reasons bug spray is needed, but I never felt overburdened, attacked, or annoyed by insects, and most times it wasn't even a thought. The proximity to food and the beach was within walking or biking distance, and anything beyond that was easily coordinated. The room was beautiful with a museum-worthy collection of art. It had everything I needed for my stay and was cleaned regularly. A lovely and memorable experience.

Truly unique and exceptional place in Bora Bora. The decoration and the view on the lagoon is amazing and Nir, our host, was incredibly welcoming, nice, and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Bora Bora.

RomaniaThe property is secluded on an uphill in the Pofai Bay. There are 3 bungalows hidden in a kind of Botanical Garden with lots of statues and meandering foot-paths. The bungalow we stayed in was large and had an open kitchen and fining area that is well equipped with all amenities. The bathroom has a portion in open air which is out of the ordinary. It is covered in most part, but has a little stone and plants garden. Nir has created here a sanctuary. He is also very nice and attentive and a nice person to chat with.

The garden is amazing, it is like a jungle and the bathroom is actually outside in the nature. The owner Nir was very welcoming and helpful with all the sorts of information, and he told us so much about Bora Bora and other interesting stories. We cannot recommend more this place!

The apartment has everything you will need for your stay. You just need to come here, enjoy the jungle around your room and relax by seeing the most beautiful sunsets of your life.

United Statestucked into the hillside blending into the foliage the property is simply amazing to walk through. so many different types of plants, trees, sculptures and planted/placed so intentionally. a clear view of the mountain at all times, Nir ensured the room has the highest quality of everything. absolutely. breath taking, clean and just unique. my wife and I loved the completely private beautiful outdoor bathroom. Nir is one of a kind hosts with unbelievable response and dedication to his clients (more like family) having the most comfortable stay.

AustraliaWould suggest hiring a car or scooter if you want to travel in to town regularly as it is a little far to walk, otherwise there are also bikes on the property you can borrow but it can be a bit hard getting them up the driveway.
We rearranged our travel to stay here because of the limited availability. The place is amazing, surrounded by hand crafted sculptures (some done by the host, Nir), the room has a balcony with an amazing view of the bay, and the room itself has been decorated carefully with antiques and artwork. There’s a food truck at the end of the driveway where we spent our nights, and Nir was happy to take us wherever we needed. He also arranged a snorkel trip for us with one of the local tours that picked us up and dropped us off from the property.

The bungalows are individually curated gems. They are filled with 5 star touches throughout. The view is absolutely stunning sunsets and mountain views and is a little mountainside oasis. It felt like we were staying in a rainforest treehouse but with every modern amenity one could desire. Lastly and definitely not least is the host, Nir. He created a personal touch and bent over backwards to make our stay the best in all of our travels throughout French Polynesia. It was like staying with a friend that wanted to make sure you had the best time in his own home!

Everything. Rohotu Fare is the most unique lodging I have never been. It reminds me of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It is extraordinarily beautiful and mysterious. To me itself is an amazing sightseeing and I spent a lot of time in the garden. Everything inside the room is in high quality, and I feel the pillows and bed are more comfortable than some five-star hotels. Moreover, there are many valuable art pieces and antiques there. The host is very friendly and helpful. He is legendary person and I learned a lot from him, especially the Marquesas culture. The stay is an unforgettable life experience.
