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 house was perfect! Spacious, has absolutely all the amenities you need, location is fantastic, the pool is deep with plenty of loungers, We had a party of 12 and didn't feel on top of each other at all. Plenty of parking space. Host was helpful and very responsive to deal with. It was a little tricky to find but once we got the hang of it it was no problem. We would stay at Tipani Lodge over and over again.
When we moved beds around to suit our sleeping arrangements the floor was quite dirty with a lot of dead ants so could probably do with furniture being pulled out and cleaned a little more often.

Verified reviewLots of space to cater for our family group of 10. We were able to come together but also have our own private spaces. Awesome outdoor spaces for BBQs and gathering together. Pool was great 👍 Located close to excursions, eating places, Muri Lagoon and Spas. Quiet location besides the roosters and dogs (which we already know is part of the Raro experience!😅). Nice breeze flows through the property and good having screen doors and windows. Great facilities and kitchen ware to cater for large groups. Our host Varnia was awesome to deal with, a couple of repairs were needed when we arrived which she organised to be done as soon as possible. Good communication, friendly and hospitable.
The king size beds are joint single beds so the wood frame in the middle is uncomfortable. Also you have to remember to check the booster switch is on for the hot water otherwise showers are lukewarm, in saying that, this is not really a big deal if the weather is warm😉but annoying if you’re showering late at night or early morning. Price has gone up significantly from when we originally booked.

Verified reviewSpacious, privacy, free wifi and of course the layout of the property. Beautiful pool that the kids absolutely enjoyed swimming in every day. With Tipani lodge being so spacious we didn’t feel like we were crowding each other. We enjoyed many family dinners out on the upper and lower decks. Lots of room for our family of 13. Easy communication with Varnia who was always helpful with any questions.
Not a dislike but we noticed early morning there was no hot water, took until mid morning for the water to heat up. But In saying that it was hot and humid so the cold showers were refreshing.
Kia Orana Vahea, Thank you so much for sharing with us your wonderful experience. We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the spaciousness and privacy of our property, as well as the free WIFI and beautiful pool. It's fantastic to know that the layout allowed for comfortable family gatherings and you had many memorable dinners on both our upper and lower decks. We appreciate your kind words about the ease of communication with Varnia. Our team is always here to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible! Regarding the hot water, we apologise for any inconvenience. Tipani Lodge is committed to eco-efficiency and our property is fitted with a solar-powered hot water system. For those cloudy days when the solar system might not produce enough hot water, we're installed a booster switch that allows you to tap into the electricity to heat your water supply. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us and we hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable stay!😊
