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 ZealandThis was a great place to stay. We were attending a wedding at Markovina's, and so the location of this property was perfect. It's a cosy space, with lots of creature comforts thrown in as well as continental breakfast. The bathroom is lovely and spacious, and really modern and light. The shower is great too! We appreciated the comfy bed, and if you're that way inclined, there's a massage chair to unwind in too. There's some nice cafes and eateries nearby, and the local New World is lovely. All in all, a really enjoyable place to stay when needing to be in that part of Auckland. We highly recommend this space!

New ZealandThe room was beautifully set for two, but I wonder if a couple of things hadn't made it back from the dishwasher? There was only one cereal bowl and spoon and one glass. Not really anything to not like, as there were cups and plates and wine glasses etc. but this is a space to fill! Thank you so much. We had a lovely relaxing evening and recharged to spend another happy day at Woodhill Sands with friends.
Precise instructions for parking and the lock-box code for the key. Delightfully easy! Very private. A beautifully appointed room and our hosts had thoughtfully provided amazing comforts. A wee bowl with some sweet treats, fresh milk, butter, jam, bread, many varieties of hot drinks, selection of cereals and in the well appointed bathroom with a lovely shower, even some cotton buds, spare toothbrushes and disposable razors! There was a lovely folder with how to work the tv and remotes, the Wi-Fi and local eatery menus. These are hosts who really care their guests are comfortable without being at all invasive. We never met our hosts, but we were invited to phone or knock on their door should we need anything!

New ZealandBeautiful little self contained apartment attached to residential property. Very comfortable bed and everything you could want for a short stay. Great shower and all the bath products you could possibly need. Breakfast provided which is a real bonus to me. Within a few minutes drive to The Riverhead where you can enjoy a very nice meal in the restaurant or pub meal in the sports bar. Certainly recommend this apartment if you are looking for somewhere in Riverhead.
