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 StatesFood was mediocre and overpriced. Water prices were inconsistent between restaurants. It would be complimentary at one, $10 at another. Landscaping woke us up early morning on Tuesday. And mattress had a dip in one area that caused back pain.

United StatesWhen I booked, I thought I was getting an over the water villa, due to a picture that showed an over the water villa. but when checking in I was informed I had a lagoon view. I feel it was a little misleading. Upon leaving I was told I would get an emailed receipt of all the charges it is now 2 days later, and I still don't have an emailed receipt.
Breakfast was excellent and the Tahitian dance show was very good. The staff was very friendly, and I think it rubbed off on the customers too. We made several new friends.

United StatesNothing, but for safety We would like a railing added to the steps down at 410 and perhaps some other garden bungalows...also something to indicate there is a step down on the deck past the plunge pool prior to the railing.
Tried all 4 restaurants - all were wonderful ! French, Chinese, buffets, bar ... The staff were all so lovely and attentive, The scuba diving and snorkeling were both great. The boat operators were excellent.

United StatesThe only thing i would change would be the boat trip charge. While taking the boat is the only way to access the hotel, making guests pay an additional (and expensive) fee for that travel is not fair. It should be complimentary.
Great hospitality and huge care from the staff. Modern, elegant rooms. Great food - almost everything we tasted was delicious! The nature is also amazing!

Chilesmall thinks doesn’t work, appliances in the motu, reservation restaurants (would be by app and not by a concierge), I miss all the polinesian traditions, shows…too poor on this point, restaurants are not well (it’s difficult and hard made a comment considering the location)…I.e. “Chinese restaurant” rice with meet it’s too simple (for the price I mean), “Japan restaurant” a simple sushi …I doesn’t work for me….(same por the price), breakfast without a complete buffet (same, considering the price)….
The place it’s a paradise….all wonderful.

United KingdomStaff/Service: for the level of the hotel, service was a bit hit and miss. Some staff were great, but numerous times we had to ask for things multiple times. We had to chase housekeeping a few times where the room hadn't been made-up by 3pm.
Our villa was fantastic. I think probably the best overwater villa I've stayed in. Large, lots of thoughtful touches. The setting is incredibly beautiful. Quality of food at the restaurants is excellent; breakfast selection is very good and pastries especially are top notch
