How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewEverything! What an accommodation to find, the property is superb, spotless, comfortable, and very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail from very fluffy towels, toiletries, and chocolate were spot on. The location and scenery are excellent, and lastly, the hosts are very friendly and welcoming.
There was nothing at all not to like!

Verified reviewAbsolutely fantastic. Beautiful facility with an awesome view. Rose and Pat are outstanding hosts, from good advise on local landscape to a great breakfast to friendly conversation. Best place we have stayed in in all of New Zealand, and that is saying something.
Everything was perfect.

Verified reviewNice view of the ocean in the distance. Comfortable apartment and bed. BBQ worked fine. Great location to drive up to Abel Tasman national park for the day, including the pretty beach at Kaiteriteri. Smallish convenience star close by (by car).
Hosts need to provide microwaveable containers to cook vegetables etc. Luckily we had our own but others might not. Also, providing literature to guests on best local places to eat, shopping, and things to do in the region would be a plus. We knew what we wanted to do and so that was not a problem for us.
Thank you for your comments. We do supply brochures of things to do in the region and a document on the local eating places at the lovely Mapua Wharf, also a couple of books on the latest walking and cycling tracks around the North and South Island. There is a large microwaveable jug, but good idea to have another, we will look at that. Kind regards

Verified reviewAs soon as we arrived, the place was stunning and super inviting. The views were amazing, and the location was perfect. Rose is clearly big on the finer details, like having some beautiful Nelson produce and treats along with a lovely continental breakfast options in the fridge, the soaps in the shower were carefully selected NZ products that I am going to have track down for my place. They were great. The bed was excellent, large, and comfortable, I loved the black out curtains and layout. Rose and Patty were extremely wonderful hosts very easy to talk to. They offered recommendations and knowledge of where to explore in the area. We would love to visit again sometime when we are child free for a weekend, we will be recommending this place to anyone visiting the area. Happy New Year to you both. Thank you so much for having us.
The only critique would be the decking area is exposed in bad weather. a sail or pagola is underway or in the works already and that will take this property to the next level having a bit more outdoor coverage !

Verified reviewNice location out off town. Loved the sun deck. My ferry was delayed but Pat stayed up late to show me the apartment and carry my heavy suitcase. So nice! There is a barbecue outside where one can also cook.

Verified reviewIt was a good base for exploring the region. Very private. Nice provisions left for us in the fridge. Lovely view.
It was too hot for sitting outside, it would have been good to have some shade for the deck.
