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 reviewThe location is fantastic! The views are incredible from this villa. Bed was comfortable, (I spent my entire time in bed sick) good shower with hot water and plenty of of pressure. Kitchen was well stocked, washer and dryer, TV, WiFi, all nice additions, We would definitely recommend this Villa.
The lighting in the villa could be brighter, it’s a little bit to dark for my taste, the A/C Unit didnt seem to work very well or we didn’t know how to work the remote control correctly so sleeping at night was a little rough. Also if you are a tall person this villa might not be the best option for you ( the kitchen has a low ceiling) I highly recommend you check out the other villas they have to offer!
Thank you for your review. Please DO ask our concierge living on site in our property for any questions concerning A/C (which btw works fine) or household appliance usage. Some guests don't ask because they don't want to disturb !! BUT OUR CONCIERGE IS THERE TO HELP :) . The kitchen is very stocked indeed but we agree about the ceiling: not really suited if you are higher than 6 feet tall. We hope to welcome you again.

Verified reviewThe host Alex is lovely. The location is stunning. You have great snorkeling outside your front door. The supermarket is a short drive. All the things you need to cook or BBQ for yourself are there. We have absolutely no complaints.
Than you for your review and for your compliments regarding our onsite staff. The snorkeling is indeed great just 20 meters from the shore where you can encounter many species in the drop off. Many water activities can also be organized with selected providers. We do recommend a car for your food shopping, as there is only one small restaurant with walking distance. Thanks again!

Verified reviewNice patio,well equipment kitchen
The lagoon is quite shallow and for seeing turtles and rays have to pay for trip. Near main road so quite noisy. Woul be nice if in pation is light for reading. Light in garden cant be switch off at night it was disturbing
Concerning water activities, you can either snorkel in the drop off located 20 meters away from the shore (there is actually a Turtle living there), or our onsite property manager can help you organise a boat tour to the best spots. This bungalow is surrounded by a stone ensuring total privacy in the Patio. Thanks for the suggestion about the light for reading. Hope to welcome you again. The management.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic, with its own access to the water for snorkeling, kayaking and swimming. Great facilities inside the house, with a lovely deck for eating at. Beautiful sunsets. We had such a special time on Moorea.
Only minor issue was parking. There were too many cars belonging to the other 2 villas, both open to guests, which meant we had to park outside on the main road, on a verge. Not the end of the world.

Verified reviewPrivacy of the villa
No sandy beach. Ground maintenance during stay. Lots of dead leafs and flowers from the tree
This bungalow is indeed surrounded by a stone wall ensuring total privacy from the road and neighbors. Concerning our garden, it is rather vast, hence why we have garden maintenance once a month to keep it clean and tidy. In this "lagoon bungalow" you have direct access to the lagoon via a few rock. If you do want a beach we have several "beach Villas" in the same property, larger, very well suited for a family or for honeymooners. Hope to welcome you again. The management.

Verified reviewThis is a truly stunning location over looking a beautiful bay on the island of Mo’orea ! The facilities are excellent and it’s a little slice of heaven! Alix the manger is very responsive and helpful and attended to all that we needed! Denis too was very helpful & provided us with a lot of very useful information before we arrived which made our stay so much better. It was super clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the outdoor seating area and the deck chairs by the water are perfect to see the stars . It is a magical place abs it exceeded our expectations! We would love to return!
We loved everything about this property .
Thank you very much for your glowing review and for giving us 10s everywhere! Thank you for the appreciation of the facilities and for our careful organization. We are starlovers too and Moorea is indeed a totally breathtaking place (so far away from the light pollution), to gaze at millions of stars and constellations such as the Southern Cross and the stunning Scorpio that encompass the whole night Sky!! Do you know the milky way was seen as a lake with millions of fish by the Polynesia ancestors! We hope to greet you again!! The management.

Verified reviewLocation was amazing. Centrally located on the island, with some of the best snorkeling on the island right out of our front door. They were very prompt answering any questions we had prior to our trip, and check-in was easy.
It was nice that snorkels were provided to use, but they were all in pretty bad shape. Also, the price seemed high for the quality of the accommodations, but pretty much everything in Tahiti is overpriced! Also, the listing says a TV was in the room, and while that is technically correct, it only plays DVDs (and there are no DVDs to use unless you bring your own!)
Thank you for your appreciation of our waterfront bungalow and of the excellent snorkeling right in front. Since Covid times most guests now bring their own masks and fins (which explains why they are just spares in case you don't have your own) but the fins are all in very good shapes. While many things are expensive indeed in Tahiti (because the transportation costs are huge when living 5000 miles from any coastline) we think your rating 2.5 for value for money is is very harsh compared to other lagoonfront lodgings in the same category. BTW, for DVDs you can just ask our property manager on site who's got a collection to lend for free, and believe me this much better than local TV programs :)

Verified reviewThe whole room was nice. And the concierge went above and beyond was asked for ( Alix )
As it is a little remote it would have been nice to have breakfast or a snack provided. But Alix did more than remedy this by being super helpful and taking us to the supermarket upon arrival.

Verified reviewDenis, Alix, and our entire experience with Robinson's Cove was amazing. Denis and Alix helped us plan the most memorable trip ever. We highly recommend renting a car and boat through them! They also helped organize ATV riding along with other experiences while on Moorea. The villa was clean, well equipped and beautiful. We loved that it was so private and right on the cove water. We were able to cook dinner there a few nights as well as do laundry which was a life save for us as our trip throughout Polynesia was 3 weeks in total. The location was amazing and they had kayaks and snorkel gear to borrow. They organized a taxi pick up and drop off for us as well. We really enjoyed our stay!
There really isn't much we didn't like or can complain about lol- the wifi intermittently went out but that is very normal when traveling especially on islands so we expected it. Everything was amazing
Thank you very much about your review, for which there isn't much to add! As you say concerning Internet, even though we have an optical fiber connection (which is the best you can get) you can sometimes experience a few hiccups from the Internet provider. Hope to greet you again! The management.

Verified reviewthe property is beautiful. we loved being right on the water and being able to snorkel right outside the room and the location cannot be beat! we didn’t do any extra excursions while there because we felt the property gave all of the experiences we wanted for free.
I really can’t think of anything. everything was wonderful. the room did get very hot very easy even though there’s an AC so we had to leave it running all of the time and the outlet in the bathroom didn’t work. if that’s all I can think of you can bet it was a great stay
Thank you for your glowing review about our lagoon-front bungalow! Fyi, the outlet in the bathroom works fine, but not for Hair Driers which require more power and therefore to use another outlet :) We are glad you enjoyed your stay so much. Note there is a discount for returning guests so we hope to see you again! The management.
