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...).

AustraliaThe water pressure in the shower was very low and payment was somewhat difficult. It would be better if the owner advised of payment options before you arrived so that appropriate arrangements could be made.
Great location and value for money. Would happily stay again.

AustraliaThe host of the property is lovely and very accommodating. The location is fabulous, very close to shopping and restaurants. The studio is well presented and contains everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is a lovely 'over the water' seafront bar a short walk away that is great for a sunset drink.

New Zealandwater pressure in the shower wasn't great and there is a lot of noise from the main road. But it is like this everywhere in Papeete so not much of a problem. We could still sleep well as we were so tired!
Beautiful studio apartment in a very convenient location in Papeete. The apartment in just on the first floor with elevator and very safe. We arrived with a late night flight and we could conveniently and safely get in with the key box available. Communication was amazing and the great host even helped us booking a taxi and explain the directions in French to our taxi driver. The bed is very comfortable, we found delicious fresh fruit in the fridge, fresh water, and even pineapple juice. This was out of the host kind heart as we arrived on a weekend of public holiday and the shops were closed. If we had to come back to Papeete we would definitely stay again here.

Switzerland- you’ve had to pay in cash when you live outside of French Polynesia. We are now travelling for 6 weeks in French Polynesia and this only happened in Nuku Hiva which we can understand and this apartment which we don’t understand as people living in Papeete should be able to process card payments
- right next to an awesome playground - restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores near by - not so noisy neighbourhood when compared to other neighbourhoods in Papeete - host speaks very well English

United StatesThe property is completely infested with the COCKROACHES!!!!! And the property owner is extraordinary rude and aggressive. The cockroaches are everywhere in the kitchen, sleeping area, bread toaster and even inside of the fridge!!! How disgusting and unsanitary!!! The owner was ignoring Booking calls and messages for over 48hrs to resolve the cockroach situation asap, she came completely unannounced, uninvited and unexpected and was knocking on the apartment door demanding to come in to collect the payment for the property in CASH while we were still in the pajamas. I'm the Level 3 Genius Booking.com customer and I clearly wrote to her that the payment will be done via the bank transfer. This owner continued to threaten, harass and intimidate us via the door about the cash payment. I refused to open the door, because I was scared of her aggressive behavior as I was alone with my child in the apartment. I asked this woman to leave and contact Booking.com to resolve the situation about the cockroaches and payment in a civilized manner. Instead of leaving and resolving the matter in a civilized and polite manner, this woman unlocked the door herself, forced herself into the apartment, started deliberately and profusely smoking inside and throwing our things out. According to the law, it is considered trespassing and violation of privacy. She screamed that I do not have to pay anything, but I have to leave the apartment now. I said that's fine, we will leave, but give us time to put the clothes on and to pack our things. This owner, instead of leaving the apartment and allowing us the privacy to dress up and pack, continued to smoke inside of the apartment in front of my 12 year old, she was mocking and intimidating us, verbally abusing my child, was touching and throwing our things around. So much for the Tahitian friendliness and hospitality!!! But thank you, Dorothee, for a great travel story to tell and movie script for my friends in Hollywood to write!
This must be the worst place on Booking.com with the rudest owner ever.
