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 StatesThere is a bit of traffic noise early in the morning, which didn’t bother me at all, but some people might not like the busy street nearby.
Great location in the heart of Papeete, convenient to everything in the city if you have business, shopping or any other need to be in town. Lucie and Charles were so helpful, proactive and organized. They treated me like Ohana from the moment I booked and sent all the information I needed for the stay straight away without me even asking, taking all the guesswork out of preparing to arrive in French Polynesia. Lucie went above and beyond with getting me settled in the flat, even helping with some customs paperwork issues for my sailing trip.

SloveniaMs. Lucy welcomed us at the airport with beautiful shell necklaces, which was such a warm and thoughtful gesture. On the way to the accommodation, she gave us a short tour of the city and its main sights, which was a lovely introduction to the area. The place itself was beautifully furnished, very clean, and comfortable. In the evening, she taught my daughter and me some traditional dances and shared many interesting facts about the local culture. We truly appreciate all the extra time, effort, and kindness she showed us. This experience will stay in our hearts as a beautiful memory. ❤️

United StatesThe noisy city. But if you have to be in the city you will feel cozy staying here.
Papeete has never been my favorite place to stay, but this rental completely changed my mind. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by Poehere — truly the most stunning and gracious host I’ve ever met. Her warm greeting set the perfect tone for my visit. The apartment was immaculate, thoughtfully stocked, and (most importantly) had fantastic air conditioning — a lifesaver in Papeete’s heat. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it was both cozy and spacious, easily accommodating a family. The décor was unforgettable, filled with trophies and memorabilia honoring a remarkable family history of champion outrigger paddlers and beauty queens. It gave the space so much character and a sense of local pride. If I ever need to stay in Papeete again, I sincerely hope this rental is available. Mauruuru roa, Poehere — you made my short stay truly special.

RwandaEverything good. Yes, there is quite some traffic on the road in front of the building, but it didn't bother us at all.
The apartment is conveniently located across the road from Paofai Garden, in walking distance to many shops and restaurants and the market. Well equipped with everything you could need, including tea, coffee, and cookies. The beds are super comfortable. An extra 10+ rating for the host, Lucie. She was extremely helpful, kind, and provided us with airport transfer at a very early hour. Wish we could have stayed longer.

United StatesLucie made our stay in Papeete wonderful! The apartment was beautifully decorated, very spacious and well stocked. The location was in walking distance to shopping, grocery store, cruise port and a nice walk along the pier. The park across the street was beautiful. As an added benefit, Lucie and Charles offer a taxi service and an island tour. We took advantage of both. The island tour with Lucie was definitely the highlight of our trip. The island was absolutely stunning and her knowledge of the history of Tahiti made it the most memorable. Thank You for a wonderful stay on your beautiful island.

United StatesThe elevator wasn’t working one day so I had to carry my bags down a couple flights of stairs. WiFi doesn’t extend to the room further from the lounge.
Really spacious and clean apartment that is perfect for family or group travel. Lucie the host is very responsive, warm, and helpful. The beds were so comfortable. The location is convenient, across the street from a park that is great for walking and watching sunsets, near to good restaurants, and a short walk from a supermarket.

United StatesIt’s in a perfectly safe neighborhood, but seems a little gritty when one arrives in the early morning. A couple of harmless unsheltered people sleep outside.
Just lovely. This apartment was clean, beautifully decorated and fully equipped. Lucie is a wonderful person and happy to provide information and advice. Her husband Charles can provide island tours. Ask about her mother-in-law’s jewelry store. Across the street from the waterfront park, with many restaurants, and a great place for an evening stroll. There is a Italian restaurant just downstairs as well as the pearl museum a block away. Five minute walk to Champion Grocery Store. Close to downtown and Marché de Papeete. Because it is downtown; you are should be aware that you’ll see poverty and homeless people.

CanadaThe way the location was communicated made it hard to find for our cab from the airport. Messaging through the Booking.com system were not getting to the property manager/owner so some anxiety on arrival not knowing if we had the right location and we did not have access codes until the property manager/owner arrived. He was delightful and this is an outstanding property.
Great location in Papeete. Across the street from the waterfront, less than 1 block to a large Champions grocery store, easy walk to market and food trucks or ferry. Very clean, had everything to exceed our expectations. Great amenities.

JapanUnfortunately the elevator was out of order but the owner gave us a helping hand for our luggage. A bit noisy due to heavy traffic in front on the building.
Easy access to city center, a champion supermarket and good restaurants. Ideal for a layover before a flight. Very clean and well equipped.

New ZealandWifi doesn’t range far from the lounge and slow, was a bit difficult when using apartment as mobile office. Some issues with the water pressure in both bathrooms but was much improved following repairs.
Very comfortable and clean, decent kitchen. Host was helpful with settling in and accomodating with times around cleaners. Car park downstairs very handy. Italian restaurant downstairs was tasty and handy, easy walk to waterfront and local shops/facilities.
