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):
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.
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.).

New ZealandAll pretty good. The Amex reminder 2 or 3 days earlier had the wrong key code so we were lucky that Paul was there. He had sent the correct code a week before but I only checked the most recent communication assuming that it would the correct one
Spacious. Everything you would need for a short stay. Shower excellent. Quite a cool hose until warmed up with the heater and there were hotties and extra blankets

New ZealandThe weather was not great but still managed to get a surf in every day and sometimes twice a day. Brilliant surf beach!
We loved the proximity and easy access to the beach. The ability to self cater was great and it had all we needed in the kitchen to sort our meals while we were there. It was close to shops where we could buy food as well as a surf shop where we hired boards for a reasonable price. Our host Suzee was so welcoming and helpful! The house was comfortable, warm and full of light which was so nice considering the weather was not great. There was so much to do over our 3 day stay and hopefully we get back the sometime soon!

United KingdomNothing to do with the property as such, but beware the sandflies on the beach…. They are voracious and any bites take weeks to go.
The property is a one-off, set back from the main new Plymouth town In oakura. It meant that we could relax on a small town with views over the beach. The owners were very attentive, but left us with privacy after the initial introductions. The property is clean, decorated in a home away from home way that makes it very comfortable.

New ZealandA couple of minor things, like a better chopping board would be good.
The location was amazing. Such a great choice to stay outside of New Plymouth and wake up to the quiet and the beach every morning. Being on the second level looking out on the beach was like being in a treehouse or lookout. Two large bedrooms, own kitchen facilities, separate toilet, shower and a bath (yay!), plus large lounge/dining to spread out, Netflix was a hit especially because it rained a lot. Access to the beach from house (wear jandals though, because there is prickles in the campground you cut through to the beach). Great conversation and advice from the hosts. A real home away from home. Would 100% stay here again.
