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 bed and facilities were very clean, comfortable and private. The location was great, close to town and had a beautiful view of the morning sunrise. Paul and his wife were friendly, respectful and helpful. The included breakfast was simple and supplies abundant. Room for us to store our bikes and water gear. We felt very at home and safe.

We arrived at the scheduled check-in time, but there was no one to greet us, nor was there a note with information about our rental. As a result, we wasted hours trying to figure out which room we would be staying in or if we were in the right house. The photo on Booking.com shows a yellow house with a pool. However, this is at the back of the house and we had no way of confirming whether or not we were in the right place. We sent messages via email but received no response. Unsure if anyone would show up, we went looking for another place to sleep. We decided to go back to the house later to see if there was anyone there or if we could get a refund. We were very poorly received by the owner, who showed us around the place, which was very dark and had musty smelling rooms and a breakfast area with no windows. He opened the refrigerator and said that we could get breakfast there. We tried to explain that since there was no one there, we needed to find another place, but he was intransigent and said that he would not negotiate any form of refund. We did not stay there because there is nothing worse than staying in a place where you are not well received. We found an excellent place for a lower price than this one on the other side of the lake, close to the restaurants. We will file a complaint with Booking to try to get back what we lost. If anyone wanted to stay in Kaitetere, I recommend the Water Front Apartments, they were very kind and attentive to you.
I tried ringing you two or three occasions you did not answer. I told you all about where your room was. If I wasn’t home you arrived earlier than 2 o’clock which was chicken and I was out. Some people you just cannot please so have a look at your phone and see that I did try and ring you.

Verified reviewAbel Tasman Kaiteriteri B&B is in a great spot — just a short walk from the beach and ideal for a brief stop while exploring the area. The room and bed were comfy, and we really appreciated being able to check in late after a long day of travel. Breakfast was self-serve and fine, though not exceptional. Just a heads-up: there’s no shared kitchen or living area for guests to relax in, so it’s best suited if you’re simply looking for a place to sleep. Overall, a convenient and pleasant stay in a beautiful location.
I felt it was a bit overpriced compared to other nearby options that offer more facilities.

The room was small and in a basement. The walls were thin and the room was sparse and small. The bathroom was clean and nice (across the hall). Overall disappointing for the cost. No real ambiance.
