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...).

GermanyWe had a great stay in Jane’s apartment. The location by the sea was beautiful and we were treated to glorious sunrises over the water. It’s well positioned for visiting both ends of Golden Bay - from kayaking at Tata Beach to visiting the seal pups at the stunning Wharariki Beach. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay, with a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. The outdoor space was great and we made good use of the bbq and deck areas. Jane’s garden was a dream for our kids (and much fun was had playing with the dogs) and taking in the sunset in the hot tub was a highlight. Jane and family were welcoming and accommodating. Thank you so much!

New ZealandDuring our car trip through the South Island to show my parents the sights, we spent our final two nights at Jane's marvelous place. The setting is peaceful, beautiful, and quiet. Jane and her husband were exceptionally welcoming and kind hosts. I couldn't recommend their place more highly.

New ZealandThe only things I would change is the lounge seating wasn't very comfortable after a long day of walking. It's a small space but would be nice to have chairs that are a little more relaxing. Also, it would be great to have a clothes rack or outside line to hang wet togs, wet towels, etc. Otherwise very happy with our stay.
Great place to stay, wonderful location. Easy access to beach . It was good to have a private outdoor area and BBQ. Friendly, helpful staff. Good selection of kitchen ware / bbq tools. Also was great having a spa, trampoline and huge grass area for children to play. The water was nice and hot with good water pressure in the shower.

New ZealandSpa pool wasn’t available which was a little disappointing. It would also be good to have a blind over the main door for privacy.
Lovely little spot! Accomodation was very well appointed with everything we needed. Very quiet, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom. We didn’t swim at the beach but it was nice for a walk down to in the mornings.

New ZealandBeautiful place with stunning views over the sea! The room was really lovely and spacious with a big comfortable bed, nice sofa area and dining table. Loved the high wooden ceiling and many windows. Magical to be able to see the sea from bed and hear birdsong first thing in the morning. Gorgeous trees on the property as well. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it ♡
