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...).

United KingdomWe were greeted with genuine warmth by Denise and Malcolm There's plenty of space & comfort. The bed linen was top quality. The garden & view are lovely and full of birdsong. Watch the sunset The bathroom is spacious & having it outside is an irrelevance against the overall quality & friendliness

BelgiumDenise made us feel very welcome from the get go. The hospitality was amazing! She had a whole bundle with things to do, menus from almost all restaurants in Coromandel and was always happy to share some travel tips. Parking was included in the price as well. Thanks for that, Denise. The room was clean and cozy. The view was amazing! Bath room was located outside, which was a first for us but given the bath room itself was clean and high-end, no complaints about that. Just a little inconvenient at night. Tv wasn’t really working either (Extremely slow). Although you can do without as well with this view! Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

AustraliaI'm trying to be objective, however, there was nothing that we could fault.
The view was wonderful. Very private accommodation, beds very comfortable, facilities excellent. Immaculate presentation. Our hosts Dennise and Malcom, made us feel special. Only 10 minutes to Coromandel Town with very good cafes and restaurants. Our stay was quiet and peaceful, wish we could have stayed longer.

GermanyI don't know if the gas-powered grill on the terrace and a microwave can replace a hotplate. We have refrained from cooking our breakfast egg.
Modern furnished apartment with very good bed. Incredible view of the port of Coromandel City. In the Bird Haven you are actually awakened at dawn by a polyphonic concert of the birds. Good wifi.

New ZealandThe only slight negative is the separation of the bathroom. Oh we had a little trouble using the TV - reception was poor and response slow. My wife also found it quite difficult craning up to see the screen.
We found the place very relaxing, the views beautiful and the garden and bush surrounds very peaceful.

United KingdomThe only thing is that we could hear some movement from upstairs, but it wasn't noisy. Bathroom was a step outside, but private & covered so not a problem.
Fantastic location & view. Quiet and peaceful. Very well equipped. Very friendly & helpful hosts. Appreciated the folder with suggested walks & activities. BBQ & covered outdoor seating area.

New ZealandNot so much a dislike (or a deal breaker), but since I've been asked about what would make the stay even better: Future guests should note that access to the toilet and shower requires leaving the unit and taking a few steps outside (the bathroom is immaculate though!).
Wonderful hosts; great home baking; and a very reasonable price. Denise and Malcolm offer the sort of hospitality that is now largely missing from the "AirBnB" sector. I don't think we've ever stayed in holiday accommodation where we've been made to feel so genuinely welcome and cared for! We would happily stay again.
