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 parking spaces could have been a bit more marked out so that you could clearly identify the parking space; trying to squeeze in next to the car adjacent was a bit of a chore.
Location was perfect close to the city and the beach metres away.

New ZealandNothing to fault.
We had been up at Grace and had booked late in the afternoon. We didn't arrive till after 7 and the lovely staff had pulled all our curtains and turned on the heating so when we got there after a looooong exhausting day, we had every comfort and more of home. I can not express how amazing this was as I also had 4 kids in tow, so made everything better. The facilities are FANTASTIC! Clean, homely and the comfiest beds I have ever slept on staying away, seriously! Our apartment was the best! Location is pretty too. We will absolutely be back!!

The motel was well located in Tauranga and right beside the sea. Everything was just right for our five nights stay. We even had access to a delightful garden with fresh oranges and grapefruit. The co-owners were very helpful and charming. The facilities were great.

New ZealandWe booked at later last night and when we arrived they had pulled all the drapes and turned on the heaters so we arrived to a warm extremely comfortable room. Perfect after a stressful day. The room was spacious and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. TV’s in both the lounge and bedroom.

New ZealandI had to find accommodation for my family at short notice as my husband had been taken to hospital urgently. We looked on line and found this property and we are so glad that we did, we were greeted by a lovely lady, she showed us where we were staying, it is an older property but done up lovely, the rooms are a great size, the bathroom had just had new lino put down and it was a bit smelly but the lady did tell us about that so it wasn't an issue. We had a lovely outlook here and it was so quiet, I would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Tauranga and especially by the Hospital. The beds were awesome also.

New ZealandIt would’ve been even better if the TV had Netflix or screen mirroring.
We had a lovely stay in a room that overlooked the neighbor’s yard with a lemon tree and had a distant view of the ocean. The staff were incredibly kind, and the place was by far the cleanest accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. The host welcomed us with a bright smile and even offered complimentary milk at check in 😊. There was an additional light in the bathroom, which made doing my makeup much easier. Right outside the property, there’s a beautiful waterfront view, perfect for just sitting and zoning out. There was also a short walkway nearby, but unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great during our stay, which was a bit of a shame.

New ZealandLoved everything about the property. It was easy to access. It felt so welcoming. The carpet was lush, the couch, I could’ve slept on it the entire time. The apartment was spacious so if you hosted a small dinner it will accommodate everyone, big enough for family of 4 (with small children). The view is spectacular. I made sure to have a coffee on the deck every morning, it was great feeling the warm sun on my face in the crisp cool air.
