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...).

Great added touch of hand delivered afternoon tea which the kids loved! Family run and Dyan was so kind and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

The lovely hosts greeted me on arrival with a very warm welcome. The studio was much larger than I expected with a well equipped kitchen, comfortably furnished, a cosy heater for the winter and exceptionally clean. The continental breakfast was generous and the homemade muesli delicious. Then there was the complimentary afternoon tea! A selection of absolutely divine treats freshly baked each day available in the dining area or brought to your room if you preferred. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to the main village and the choice of two stunning beaches. I absolutely loved my stay at Punga lodge and would highly recommend it, excellent value for money.

New ZealandThe lodge itself is a bit dated and so if you are looking for a place with a modern look and feel, spacious bathrooms etc, this won't be it. You know what you are getting from the pictures and this location and host provide exceptional value for money so really hard to complain about anything.
We stayed in the self-contained Cabin and it was wonderful. The location is excellent (short walk to the main township and on the main bus route) and the lodge itself is set amongst some beautiful native bush. Private and secure. The real highlight, however, was our host Dyan. She is so friendly, warm, helpful and an exceptional baker which meant we always looked forward to the complementary afternoon sweet treats that she whips up in her kitchen. We really couldn't believe that she doesn't have her own bakery or sell her food, as it's so good! You can say that Dyan loves what she is doing and the entire experience and stay is elevated because of her. Dyan even allowed us to take our time checking out as we were on a later ferry, which we very much appreciated.
