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.).

CanadaI had some spotty wifi issues, where my phone would go back and forth between the wifi and the cellular network.
I liked everything about Sunset Hill Lodge! From the friendliness of the staff (Dolores and Gérard), to the excellent condition of everything in the unit (nothing broken, damaged, no duct tape or other temporary fixes), to the comfortable bed, linens, pillows, etc. It was all really well maintained and managed. Everything was clean and tidy. The appliances were relatively new (frost-free fridge/freezer, Bosch gas stove top) and worked great. Air conditioning worked great. Big windows with screens, which I preferred using overnight instead of the AC. Both Dolores and Gérard had helpful information about nearby stores, the public beach, etc. The view was lovely, and the location was walking distance from 2 grocery stores.

Dolores picked me up and was really nice! It's not by the sea but I didn't mind because I could rent a bike next door and go wherever I liked!

CanadaHosts were very kind and helpful. Location was good, not a long walk to supermarkets and all you need in Vaitape. 30 min pretty scenic bike to Matira beach. Kitchen in the room had all the basics in terms of tools/cookware and the outdoor terrace was a great spot to have a coffee in the rain with a view. Really enjoyed our stay here!

The location was very close to restaurants, supermarkets and shops, 15 minutes walk from the port. They have a free pick up service, very appreciated. The lodge was extremely clean, big and comfortable with a nice sea view terrace and mountain view from the other side. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely the best place to stay in Bora Bora without going into resorts.

United StatesEverything was great but if I had to pick something I would say we needed a trashcan in the bathroom so I wouldn’t have to walk to the kitchen to throw things away. Wi-Fi was slow for trying to upload a video but that could’ve been just the area in general. But these are just minor things that obviously we worked around. No big deal I would highly recommend.
The Property was clean, it was close by to a dock where we were picked up for tours. The host picked us up from the harbor and also took us back. Free of charge. That was awesome. She even asked if we wanted to stop for hotdog on the way. Lol. Within walking distance of two grocery stores. Great view. I loved the terrace.

United KingdomI stayed in one room for 1 night, the accommodation was good although a little closed in and felt a little claustrophobic, but many other rooms they have are a lot more spacious and better balconies and windows. Highly recommended, both Gerard and his assistant (sorry cant remember her name ) are both very helpful and informative .
Excellent Host Gerard and his lovely assistant, one of the most accessible properties in Bora Bora. They provide an excellent pick up service for free that makes a big difference, As many hotels in Bora Bora charge expensive fee to collect you or take you to the Airport Ferry. Spent 2 further nights at the accommodation by the lagoon which was much more spacious and had better furnishings and facilities. That property was Par excellence. The first night I spent at the main accommodation was a little small but the Lagoon Lodge is excellent

GreeceJust a small thing that could be improved is that the kitchen is equipped with only the very basics; not even salt, nor pepper or cooking oil. Even something as basic as that would facilitate use of the kitchen, for those who want to cook.
First of all, Hinano, our hostess at Sunset Hill lodge, was simply stellar, absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond, gave us tips and ideas for what to do in Bora-Bora, booked activities for us, and even provided a free beach drop-off and pick-up on one day. Mauruuru! :) We stayed in an apartment just by the water. It's cute but basic, a 10min walk to supermarkets and the main square of Vaitape.

United StatesIt’s far from the beach. You need a car or a taxi to go to the beach to swim.
The mattress, sheets are comfortable. The shower room is clean and comfortable. There is balcony overlooking the ocean. Overall the property is decent and clean. Hinano the property manager assistant is kind to give you a ride from the port to the property vice- versa I called her on her phone and when she was available she gave me a ride. She helped me with my luggage because when I came in to the property I injured my foot from the other accommodation.

United StatesI would say if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs: dogs and roosters are pretty noisy on the hill. This is something I experienced in over places in Polynesia.
Service from both Hinano and Gerard. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The gardens were beautiful, my daughter loved the bananas from the garden. Location close to town, groceries, excursions and hikes. We were able to spend 3 days in town and do all the tours we wanted while on the main island and then enjoy one night/2 days in a resort on a motu (at a much higher rate).
