Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesOur first room that we were assigned smelled like a dead animal was rotting. They upgraded us to a suite, that was nice and clean. The only downside this hotel is right on the busiest corner of Papeete, lots of noise that does not stop.
The staff was amazing, friendly, helpful, attentive. Helped us with all of our needs.

Cook IslandsThe hot eater in shower took a very long time to arrive, I was more worried about waste of water than a cold shower. For some reason the toilet is very high off the floor? I am tall and just reached it if I pointed my toes , my friend could not. We could not find the strip light around the mirror so it ended staying on whole time, again a cost for you and a waste. for some reason there is a lot of lighting on the suite. Our fridge did not work even after they tried to fix it, so no cold wine and cheese.
The location was perfect , the design of buildding is really great. The front staff were the best. great being close to fab Chinese restaurant and bar down stairs which serve all meals and drinks. Its close to market shop and ferry.

United StatesThe rooms have pretty much no storage except for closets, and no luggage racks or any surface other than the bed that can be used as a luggage rack. They really need to add folding luggage racks, at least.
Right across from the cruise ship terminal and almost as near to the ferry terminal, it's a clean, comfortable lodging. The room was plenty big enough, and while there's no view, you can peek outside to check the weather. They were particularly nice to me because I checked-out early and left my luggage. When I came back, looking the worse for wear, I was offered a shower -- very nice staff.

United StatesNo pool. Would be nice to lounge as you wait for your room.
You can’t beat the convenient location right downtown. We walked directly from our cruise ship to the hotel, maybe 2 blocks. Baggage can be stored until your room is ready. Everything was clean and the room size adequate, especially after being a little cramped in a cabin on a ship. Continental breakfast offered for a pricey $33 pp so we opted to eat next door for omelets and bread. The friendly staff were exceptional! So helpful and kind, greeting you with “laorana” each time you leave and return from your day activities.

New ZealandThe room I had was very small and there was no hair dryer. I stayed on a Friday evening and the neighbouring bar had live music until 1am. This might bother others but I didn't mind it. A little pricey for what it offers.
The location is convenient to the ferry terminal and the shopping and bars precinct. Staff were warm and friendly. The facilities are clean and tasteful. Bed and pillows are comfortable.

United Arab EmiratesI wouldn’t probably stay longer than one or two nights just to explore the area.
Great location, short walking distance to the ferry dock. Which is the main reason why I chose the hotel. The room was perfect for one night stay, the bed was huge, very comfortable. Everything was clean and super smooth check-in and checkout.

New ZealandThe price of the hotel, for what it is, is very expensive. In New Zealand the same price would get you a high quality 5 star hotel with excellent facilities. The breakfast offering was spartan and rather depressing. Better to go to nearby cafes. Poor sound insulation throughout. The doors and walls provide physical barriers only. The lift button makes a piercing beep when called. The night receptionist was a happy chap and a pleasure to deal with at 4am.
The hotel is best placed for access to the cruise port. External noise control is ok.

The room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. It was less than a route from the approved terminal and was half block and the other direction to the ferry terminal. Right off the main street. they allow me to store my luggage all day when I arrive early in the morning so that I could go out to sightseeing tour. They also stored my luggage the next morning when I went out on a sightseeing tour after I checked out. When I returned from a snorkeling trip to collect my luggage that evening, they had a bathroom with the shower I could rinse off the salt water and change my clothes to get ready for my flight. Very accommodating.
