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 ZealandTrying to get out on Saturday. We ended up turning left, going along the road a bit and turning down a side street on the right so we could head back the other way. Sunday was no problem to crossover. A very minor inconvenience, but worth it with it being so close to the event we were attending.
Comfortable, spacious, quiet, assigned parking, lovely staff. Loved everything about the motel, minus 1 little thing.

New ZealandI guess in a perfect world the mezzanine bedroom upstairs would be fully blocked off, to make its separate bedroom from the rest of the unit.
For a 3 star motel at a reasonable cost this place was just fine. The facilities were clean and the sheets and bedding were lovely.

New ZealandThe shower water pressure was dismal - the only way to get decent water pressure upstairs is to have a hot water cylinder up there, and there didn't appear to be any room for it (inside anyway). All of the taps (kitchen and bathroom) needed to be turned a lot before water appeared - and they're all separate, not mixer taps, so the hot water gets *very hot* and could be dangerous for young ones. The provided frypan was dented and not flat and quite worn - being a non-stick surface, it really wasn't safe to use. The large family apartment is completely open-planned, meaning that you can hear everything that happens in the room, upstairs on the mezzanine floor (where the 2 single beds were), on the stairs and downstairs - around the queen bed (which is in the lounge), around the couch and in the kitchen. If you want to boil the kettle in the kitchen, or watch TV, etc and not disturb someone sleeping upstairs, that is not possible. They will hear every noise you make. You really all need to go to bed at the same time. Even though we were at the back of the motel, the road the motel is on is very busy. I was glad I had bought my ear plugs for sleeping. The stairs to the bathroom and mezzanine floor are narrow, someone less physically able could struggle with them (the toilet and bathroom are upstairs). There were lamps on each side of the queen bed but only 1 worked. I had to put a t-shirt over my lamp as it was so bright that it lit the whole of the upstairs room where our teens were trying to sleep.
We chose the large family apartment as we were 2x adults and 2x older teens. It felt roomy and had enough windows to make it feel spacious and open too. The beds were very comfortable and so was the carpet. The place was tired but clean. There was a stove top, oven, microwave and kettle, plus a small fridge. You don't often see all of those provided in this price range. The bathroom was a good size and had 4x hooks for towels, and 2 large cubbyholes for storage. There was a hairdryer provided as well. There was reasonable bench space in the kitchen, a small table that could sit 3, plus you could also eat on the couch, using the coffee table. The lighting was very bright - this could be a positive or a negative. There was a hanging ceiling light, lamps near the beds and a fluorescent strip light in the kitchen and above the dining table. The curtains were a lovely gold colour (but not blackout curtains).

New ZealandOutside looked a little shabby, could maybe do with a paint for next summer season but was pleasantly surprised with inside. Maybe supply fresh milk on arrival instead of small uht pottles, small detail but makes a difference. Not to criticise but to help improve.
