Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaWish there was AC. There were wasps and ants in and around the house. The pillowcases didn't fit the pillows.
The onsite manager and his brother (the driver) were very helpful. The location can't be beat for the price. There was good kayaking and snorkeling right off the deck. There were lots of seating and lounging options. Nice kitchen and bathroom. The coffee provided was tasty. Check in and check out times were very flexible.

Czech RepublicThe owners are very friendly, helpful. They explained everything to us. They have two bungalows on their property, each of them has its own atmosphere. We stayed in the bungalow that is directly connected to the terrace, which is over the water. So you can see the sea directly from the bed. We spent 6 nights on site, almost every day we used the bikes that the owners rent for free (as well as the kayak and paddelboard). Snorkeling by the corals is possible about 30 meters from the bungalow, just a dream. And sometimes we even saw a small stingray from the terrace. If we would come back to Bora Bora, we would definitely come here.

SwitzerlandCommunication was not easy. Owners and hosts are not the same. Owner who rent the bungalow haven't been there (slow communication). Hosts live there but are hard to catch, if you have questions. You have to make a payment on a private bank account after you received the confirmation from Booking.com.
Bora Bora Bungalove is a beautiful place with a beautiful view, equipped with everything you need, hosted by very nice and friendly locals. Kayaks and bicycles free to use and in a very good condition. Small grocery store nearby.

United States of AmericaNo air conditioning and to try to keep the bungalow cool we had to open all doors and windows, but the front door did not include a screen door. The lack of a front screen door allowed bugs to get in, and we had some mosquito and ant bites as a result.
the view, the outdoor patio on the ocean, a full kitchen, the hosts, the kayaks, the bikes, and the location being close to town but not too close

New ZealandRoad noise is heard, but less so than at our first accommodation in Bora-Bora.
Enjoyed our stay here thanks! The terrace over the water was a perfect spot to relax and to enjoy watching the sunset. Private kitchen that was well equipped, coffee filter & fresh coffee provided. The outdoor shower was devine. The whole place was full of art & it has a rather bohemian feel to it. Free bikes and kayaks to use.

United States of AmericaI'm sure it was a mishap, but unfortunately the bungalow hadn't been cleaned at all, and wasn't ready to go into, even after the check in time. So that threw my schedule off a bit for the first day. Definitely some communication issues, between the owners and actual hosts, altho Host did a good job on What'sapp, after things got going. Biggest frustration was all the ants. Host did bring Raid to help, but they were always there to a degree. Also, the open air style kitchen, bathroom, shower... Wasn't horrible, but you can't tell that from the listing.
The bungalow was in a beautiful place, right on the Faanui Bay, hosts were nice, and tried to fix problems, loved the outdoor shower, and nice to have kayaks and SUP available to use. Dock was awesome.

DenmarkBicycles are not in great condition. Sadles are broken and seat posts are not long enough for adults of normal hight. There is a dog on the property. Dog turds were all over the lawn and were not picked up by the owners (counted 5 in a very small area). The children stepped on them and we had to clean their shoes. The owners were hard to get hold off (were not there or sleeping) and did not answer messages on booking.com. We asked to have the drain in the shower fixed as two people could not take a quick shower before the water overflowed but they never did anything about it and they were not there when we tried to get hold of them again. The fridge is big but does not cool very well (even on max setting). It is a bit far from real super markets (5-6 kilometers). No AC
Terrace is over-water with baby eagle rays and sting rays swimming right in front of the bungalow. The bungalow has a nice size. There is a BBQ for use and bicycles too. A very friendly cat was around named "Bocat" and the children lowed it. A nice brochure in both English and French with information about Bora Bora and what to do.

United States of America1. Property was a bit dated. Upgrades needed for several items: mattress, pillows, lounge chairs on deck, ceiling fan (was noisy so couldn’t leave it on at night), light switch, to name a few. 2. Street/traffic noise 3. Tiny ants 4. I’ve traveled the world and stayed in a variety of places from luxury to vacation rentals and didn’t expect perfection however, overall I was expecting better quality based on what I read. 5. Distance from Viatape, Matira beach area.
1. I liked that it was somewhat secluded and right on the water. 2. Enjoyed being in the neighborhood and near the church 3. Teihei was responsive to my questions via text
