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.).

SloveniaThe accommodation is located in the most beautiful part of the island, by a crystal-clear lagoon and at the foot of the mountains that surround the northern part of the island. If you're looking for ideal access to both the sea and the mountains, this is the perfect location. So much has already been written about the host Harold that I thought the reviews were too good to be true. But I experienced it myself and can confirm that they are more than true. The accommodation is in a quiet village where you have everything at your fingertips – the beach, a grocery store, cafés, and restaurants. Harold and his family go above and beyond to ensure your comfort. The house is new and fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including free use of bikes, snorkeling gear, a kayak, and more. I easily biked to Maharepa and back without any issues – the views along the way were stunning. I’d especially like to highlight, as others have, the exceptional lagoon tour led by Harold for an incredibly low price. This trip was phenomenal – one of the best experiences I’ve had in French Polynesia. Harold truly knows the hidden corners of the lagoon teeming with marine life, where you won’t encounter any other tourists.

Harold is a great host, the house is splendid. Attention, polite guidance w/tour proposals, sea adventure (sharks, rays, dolphins, coral snorkeling, abundant explanation) - do not miss! Shop 100m, foodie places 500m, wonderful garden, crabs, birds. Kayaking from site to lagoon. Fully recommended

New ZealandThe pillows were a bit on the thin side, but the bed was super comfortable.
The place has everything you need to cater for yourself. Harold was very helpful and gave us good tips of places to go and things to do. The place was very clean and had easy access to the marina channel from where we could launch the kayak (provided free). It was also quiet and safe, and a fully stocked shop walking distance up the road.

United StatesThe bungalow was very clean, spacious enough, had everything we needed. Very nice bathroom, fridge for our food items. The bungalow was located close to all our activities. Harold was such a sweet kind soul and Incredibly accommodating. He was very attentive to all our questions during our stay. He helped us plan out our days, helped us with last minute plans, arranged a scooter for us, set up our taxi back to the ferry, provided us the bikes and kayaks to use freely. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and host. He even accomated us last minute and took us on his private island tour which was such an incredible experience and priced way better than all other tours. I got to swim along turtles and near eagle rays! A memory I'll hold forever. So grateful to Harold for everything. You will not regret staying here.

GermanyWe had an absolutely lovely stay! Harald is a fantastic host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel at home, offering great tips for local excursions and activities. One of the highlights of our trip was the private lagoon tour he gave us on his boat—truly unforgettable! The bungalow itself is clean, well-equipped, and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Just around the corner, there’s a well-stocked grocery store, which made everything super convenient. The beaches and main attractions are only a few minutes away by car. Although we didn’t have time to use it, there’s a kayak available free of charge, perfect for paddling out to the nearby sandbank. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would love to return. Highly recommended!

The accommodation is located on the property of the owner Harold, who lives in the house next door. The property includes two houses with beautifully landscaped surroundings. OK infrastructure, hot water, air conditioning, WIFI, TV with connection, the accommodation equipment is satisfactory for living and cooking. The cleanliness is perfect. The property is fenced, safe. An extremely big plus is the possibility of using a kayak within the accommodation. You can paddle with it along the canal (across the street) to the lagoon. A well-stocked shop is about 200m away. Harold offers a private trip with his boat to the beautiful corners of this part of Moorea. I highly recommend it, even if you have already experienced such a trip before... Harold - thanks again for your hospitality and I hope to see you again.

SloveniaWe really can not point out anything we did not like. Our experience on Moorea was perfect and we would not change anything.
Our stay in the house was really wonderful. Everything was perfect - the house if fully equipped, clean, has air conditioning and a very nice terrace. We were really happy to have the possibility to use the free bikes and the kayak. Harold helped us with suggestions for where to go with the kayak, where to snorkel, and he also offered a boat trip that was awesome. He brought us some fresh fruit a couple of times to try. We were really thankful for his help and suggestions. We could not have wished for a better accommodation or a better host! The location of the accommodation is also great - next to the shop, to the canal that leads to the sea and very close to the motus that are great for snorkeling and exploring.

United KingdomHarold was a fantastic host. Very helpful, friendly and kind. The lodge was large, very clean and well equipped with a kitchen that included a cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle etc. There were bicycles available for guests to use and they were great. I cycled round to Cooks Bay with no problems. Another bonus was the free kayaks for guests to use. You launched them onto an inlet just across the road and it was an easy paddle out to the lagoon. Moorea is an expensive island to visit and I found Fare Titaina excellent value for money especially with the inclusion of bicycles and kayaks for guests to use

The other reviews were also right about the host, Harold was extremely polite friendly and helpful, he gave me detailed recommendations on where to eat and activities, and even booked a transfer and table at Coco beach for me. Plus his shark/ray/turtle/dolphin tour was private and magical. He really deserves the great reviews, I only wish I could repeat the experience!

United StatesWe were disappointed that the neighbor has blocked access to a nearby beach. Not any fault of Harold, he and his neighbors are pursuing legal action. However there are beaches nearby accessible by bike or kayak, or even walking at Les Timpaniers.
Fare Titaina is an excellent choice in Moorea! Great value for very reasonable cost. The bungalow is up to date, spotless, well-screened with windows on three sides, with good, quiet A/C, a comfortable bed and lounger, a well-equipped kitchen, and a lovely lanai with dining table and chairs overlooking the garden. Harold is an exemplary host! We really enjoyed talking with him and hanging out with him for a morning on his boat. He knows Moorea as well as anyone, and can take you to all the good places. Also, the dog Reef took great care of us too. Just awesome. Harold set us up with bikes for our visit, which we used to get to the ATM and public beach a bit less than a mile away. The little store just a quick walk up the small road is a gem, where you can get pretty much everything you might need. Restaurants on Moorea are expensive so we appreciated being able to prepare meals chez nous.

United StatesThe off-season weather (good for dramatic photos, though)
Two comfortable, well equipped bungalows with large decks in a quiet private development. Friendly, helpful owner. Decent market ~100 m, good local waterfront restaurant just a short walk. The use of the development's private beach is (March 2024) in the process of being returned from an usurpation by a greedy individual, so it was a 1 km walk/drive to Tipaniers or 2 km to the public beach.
