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 ZealandCameras watching us in the main area we were socialising in. Would have been nice to be advised previous to our arrival as we had children visiting during the day and parents were not comfortable with it. Maybe should have a notice up also.

The location of the house was amazing. Uninterrupted views of the water without being right on the water’s edge. Also, the owner was so helpful to deal with. We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful home.

New ZealandI didn't like the camera pointed at us on the deck, however I guess this is the way the world is going and necessary for security reasons.
The house has a beautiful outlook to the estuary, it was quiet, the beds were comfortable and the host very accommodating. The kitchen had everything we needed with good appliances. We thoroughly enjoyed our break and will be back.

New ZealandThe house was made of wood, and at times, you could hear sudden cracking sounds. The door hinges were slightly noisy and needed oiling.
The view, location, and spacious property were excellent. Communication with the host was also great

AustraliaThe garbage disposal system was a little strange but that may just be because it was unfamiliar to us. (Guests are required to take their own rubbish to the transfer centre on departure). It wasn't such a big deal, just a little unexpected.
The location, view and ambience at PBHS are wonderful! We stayed 2 nights but could easily have stayed longer. A real family holiday home!

New Zealand(We realise this wouldn't be an issue to everyone) We thought people should be aware that there are cameras at the door, for people who are not use to them, it was a bit confronting.
Loved the spot, perfect place to relax. very close to the estuary. Have everything you need.

United StatesThe owner of the property has a misguided opinion about what needs to be provided to traveling guests using Booking.com After you finish making the booking you receive an additional email from the owner suggesting that if a guest uses sheets on the bed that’s an up charge of $30 per guest If that were not enough, the owner request that you vacuum the floors with carpet and wash the linoleum floors before departing This owner should either provide normal guest services or put that information in the initial booking information so that the guest can make a decision prior to booking
The property is located in a very good location
