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...).

New ZealandThe weather, but u couldnt do much about that. Would loved to have a walk around, but the weather prevented that!
Loved the breakfast, the fresh muffins were yummy. Hubby and friends loved having a decent coffee, I dont drink coffee, but it smelt nice. Loved the lounge part, meant we could all relax and have a good chat. Not sure how it would work if the 3rd bedroom was being used.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing!
Great place, great location and great hosts! Lorraine and Gerald certainly went out of their way to make our stay feel like a home away from home. The room was large and airy and the bed was very comfortable. Air con in the room as well which was very useful at times. Breakfast is served in a guests only dining / sitting room which also has a small kitchen area that is very well equipped. So, if you are like us and don’t want to eat out every night, there is ample facility to prepare a snack type meal using the microwave provided. There is ample parking. It is only a short drive into Whangarei with all the amenities that the place has to offer, but is far enough away to be totally private and secluded. All in all, full respect to Lorraine and Gerald, you’ve nailed it!! Top drawer B & B.

When we booked I thought breakfast wasn’t included. It was, we’re grateful. Hosts are delightful. The home was spotless and the room and allocated area was exceptional. Parking is a bonus. We truly could not fault this stay and as I sit in another BnB I wish I was back in Glenbervie’s exceptionally comfortable high quality mattress. We highly recommend this BnB and will stay here again. Thank you

New ZealandEverything was great. Very peaceful setting. Friendly host. There was nothing to dislike.
The room was new, tastefully furnished with comfortable seating and a very comfortable bed. Ample room for suitcases on a long shelf in the wardrobe.A spacious modern bathroom. Lockable door into the shared hall, dining and kitchen space with motion sensor lights in the hallway. Pretty garden area/patio outside the entrance to the room. Parking was close to the accommodation area - only a few steps to the entrance. The air conditioning was much appreciated in the hot weather. A little bit of luxury in the middle of a long journey North. Thank you!

United KingdomThe breakfast was nice, but not as good as I've had elsewhere.
The owners were lovely and friendly and really helpful. The location wasn't close enough to walk anywhere, but I doubt that anyone would be arriving here without a car and it was lovely and peaceful. The room was immaculate. A really good sized room and very comfortable bed. Really excellent. The breakfast was continental and ok, but wasn't substantial and I would have loved some orange juice. Overall though, a pretty good stay
