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 reviewWe did not have breakfast included but the coffee shop has a variety of breakfast options, all of which are delicious.
They hotel does an excellent job of buffering the discotheque noise next door but you can still feel the bass of the music well into the early morning hours.

Verified reviewThe overall design of the hotel is very modern with lots of natural textures (wood, plants, and basalt). They have triple sliders to the balcony which provides significant noise reduction from the road and port. The adjoining cafe had good coffee and pastries. Parking in a secure lot was available for ~20USD/night.
We had a room facing the docks and there are a few nightclubs at street level. It was noisy on the Friday night we were there. Ask for a room that is NOT by the elevator for a quieter experience.

Verified reviewGreat location near the cruise terminal & town.
Our room had a bath but no shower. There was a hand held spout but it was immpossible to stand in the bath and shower yourself without the water going everywhere. There was no floor drain.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the location. We understand your concerns about the bathroom layout, some of our rooms do offer full showers, and we'd be happy to recommend one better suited to your preferences next time.

Verified reviewRoom was a good size and well appointed with lots of storage space, although the Scott machine seemed superfluous as there was also a kettle for heating water. Staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in was simple. Breakfast was a buffet available in the adjacent coffee bar.
It was impossible to hold water in the sink, which resulted in much wasted water when shaving. Breakfast was basic with little being done to ensure items were topped up. On our final morning, bread, scrambled eggs and fruit juices became exhausted and none of the three staff (who appeared busy) took notice of the shortages.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the room and the service from our team. We're sorry for the inconvenience with the sink and breakfast service. Your comments have been shared with the teams concerned to help us improve.

Verified reviewThe room was comfortable and the restaurant on the top floor was very good.
The problem accessing the lift in the late afternoons, at night and on weekends. No laundry facilities. Nowhere to sit outside. Rough neighbourhood.
We're happy you enjoyed the room and rooftop restaurant. We'e noted your remarks regarding elevator access and outdoor spaces, they're helpful for improving the guest experience.

Verified reviewLocation across the road from the ferry was very convenient as we had to catch the ferry to Moorea the next morning. Also walking to the shops and market in town for a day of shopping is so easy. For a couple of nights in Papeete this is the best place to stay in Papeete town. There are also nice restaurants on the waterfront about a ten minute walk down the road.
The rooftop bar has great views, pizza and drinks but it was so busy that unfortunately we couldn't get a drink or a seat.
Dear Naomi Thank you for your thoughtful feedback ! We're glad the location made your stay in Papeete easy and enjoyable, with everything close by. We’re sorry you weren’t able to fully enjoy the rooftop due to the crowd, it’s a popular spot at peak times, and we’re working on improving the experience for everyone.

Parking spots are a bit hard to find.
We're glad the location made your ferry transfer easy and convenient. Parking in the city center can indeed be a challenge at times, and it's true that our parking is a bit hidden. Thank you for your understanding !

Verified reviewIt had a very spacious room and kitchenette. It was also very centrally located and the staff was amazing.
It did not have a pool to relax in or nearby beach access. It was my fault for not doing my homework.
Dear Claudia, We're delighted you enjoyed the spacious room, central location, and the team’s service. While we don’t have a pool or beach access, we hope the comfort and convenience of the hotel made your stay worthwhile.
