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 bed was a bit hard. The courier and the Uber Eats people dropped their packages off at our door, instead of the owner's.

New ZealandThe location is unbeatable, my friend and I really appreciated how close everything was. The space was lovely and clean, with excellent storage and new furnishings. We had everything we needed for a weekend visit. As noted in other reviews the accomodation is part of a private residence, and as such you can hear people moving around, but all at reasonable times - never in a way that disturbed us. For the value in comparison to other options in the area, this place is a real gem.

Germany- paper thin wall and door to main house, heard everything from host including morning routine at 5:30 am and dog barking - in general clean, but looking into detail there is quite some dust and dirt in every corner - quite early check out time at 10am, little flexibility when asking when asking for late check out (additional 30 min)
- nice location close to the beach and city center but in a quite area - parking space directly in front of the accommodation - nice new bathroom - if needed, lots of storage space in walk-in closet

New ZealandThe accommodation is an extension off the main house which is fine; however the sound proofing was not great and you could hear all the household noise (including screaming children) through the paper thin walls.

New ZealandI take accountability for not reading the description in full before booking, but I strongly recommend to add in the description that this is not suitable for family stay. Doesn't have Netflix or anything, just open TV. Also the space is too small for a family with a kid. The description clearly states it is only a room attached to a main house, but still I don't think suits for 3 people in any case. The location is Wonderful and absolutely clean and tide.

AustraliaI didn’t like that there was a 1 litre carton of milk that had been opened and wasn’t full in the fridge - left for our use. Obviously hadn’t been vacuumed in between tenants. Sofa bed was average. Spare blanket smelt like dog. Squeegee in shower mouldy - get a new one or don’t have one at all. No bag in kitchen bin, and mould in the bottom. No microwave. Have to wash dishes in the bathroom.
Great location, close to the beach and shops. Comfortable bed. Modern, spacious bathroom. Good separate entry to unit, and easy access with a code. Off street parking right outside entry.
