How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewExcellent location - 10 min walk along the beach to town and less than 5 mins to the beach. Very comfy bed and spacious apartment. Bernard was lovely and even lent us snorkeling gear as we hadn't brought any and there was no where to rent it. and helping us arrange transfer to airport etc. Huahaine is magnificent and we would go back again and stay here in a heartbeat.
Outside the apartment was a little bit mosquitoey so just be mindful of closing the door etc (coils etc are provided).

Verified reviewWonderful, comfortable, clean house with delightful hosts who were always available for anything we needed but at the same time gave us our privacy. The location is excellent, the beach just a few minutes walk and the town of Fare also a short walk away. It was also nice to have Netflix so we could watch the occasional movie. Highly recommend.

Verified reviewShort stroll to beach with good snorkelling, easy walk into town centre with its market, some street food type places plus the yacht club which is the place for a beer and dinner. Apartment was amazing, parked our scooter in the private front garden. Very spacious, great aircon, full kitchen with microwave, coffee percolator, toaster etc etc , table to eat on patio area outside. Like having your own small house, can't recommend this enough. Very good communication with the owners if you need anything, great recommendation for island lagoon boat trip which was so much fun. One of our favourite places in French Polynesia. Would not hesitate to book again and this is literally the perfect place to stay on the island.

Verified reviewVery comfortable stay that felt like living local, beautiful private yard, able to walk into town, home located in middle of short road with ocean at one end and car rental at the other, great hosts.
Felt uncomfortable just walking into home with only our driver saying it was the correct house (paperwork on kitchen counter did confirm we were in the right spot). Wasn’t aware all nearby amenities would be closed on our arrival Sunday afternoon, so didn’t come prepared (very lucky we found the two open restaurants by walking into town). Couldn’t get the wi-fi password to work (could have been user error).

Verified reviewWe loved the house and we loved Huahine! Bernard and Linda are fantastic hosts, very friendly, helpful and communicative. They live next door with a gorgeous dog! We called Bernard a couple of times for advice and he was always very happy to help. The house is located a couple of minutes from the beach and you can walk into town from there or along the road if you prefer (take a torch if walking either way after dark). It has everything you could need - we were there for five nights (would have been happy to stay for five months!) and cooked a couple of times, did some washing, chilled, went out a lot, basically we felt completely at home. The bed was very comfy, the shower was great, the garden is lovely. It’s only ten minutes into town down a quiet street. Thank you both
Nothing, it’s great!

Verified reviewMy new husband and I loved Bernard and Linda’s place. It felt like a home away from home. Bernard was incredibly helpful and even offered to store our luggage once we checked out and we’re waiting for our flight.

Verified reviewBernard and Linda were exceptional to deal with beforehand and amazing also once we arrived. So helpful, friendly and kind. The lodging is superb, everything you need, great location close to spectacular beach and shops and restaurants. They arranged for someone to take us on a hike in the south too. A very special few days on Huahine. A perfect place to stay.
