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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesFellow Americans! Apple Maps and booking will take you to the wrong location. Search up Résidence Te Ava Nui on your gps for the correct location. The place was spacious and clean. It was very well equipped with cookware, washer, and everything you can possibly need. Thomas, the host, was very accommodating.

New ZealandThe location requires stayers to have a vehicle which I did not. Ordering food in was challenging because of what limited options were available to that area.
Spectacular gem and great value for money… I wish the pool was open at its normal time but nonetheless I had a great stay.

United StatesIt's wasn't that I didn't like it, I just had to get use hallways to the apartment weren't constantly lite. Light switches with timers are located by the elevator, stairs, and between each apartment to turn lights on. A good way of conserving energy, but takes a little time getting use to walking into a dark hallway.
The property was very clean and spacious for a one bedroom apartment. Even though I didn't cook, it was nice to have a full kitchen. Nice balcony with a view. Rooftop swimming pool with exceptional view of the city and ocean. It was also nice having a parking garage to park my car rental.

United KingdomWe only stayed for one night before flying home. It was a lovely spacious apartment to be able to chill, we had read the reviews about location so we bought food first. Communication with the host was easy, and he kindly picked us up from the ferry (for a fee) and arranged a taxi for us for the following morning to get to the airport. Aircon in living room and bedroom

RomaniaAs always I choose this apartment for staying in Papeete. Impeccably clean, about 5-7 minutes from the airport and 8-10 minutes from city center, ideally located if staying for a night or two. Need to have a car or the owners can help you for a small fee. But it is better to have a car for getting around. Big apartment with everything you might need, one big living room with fully equipped kitchen, and one separate bedroom. Nice terrace. Private parking space. Will for sure come back.

French PolynesiaThe host, Mr Thomas was very responsive to my emails and messages as it were my parents traveling with my niece. He picked them from the airport and dropped them early hours of the next day for their flight to Fiji. The location has beautiful and scenic views that were breathtaking. The apartment was spacious, clean, and fully furnished. I’ll definitely book again with them on my next trip. Thank you again Thomas for making my parents travel and stay a pleasant and stress-free one. Mauururu roa and Vinaka.
