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 ZealandOne thing missing was a hair dryer.
I had a lovely stay at Warwick Hills Rural Bed & Breakfast. The bed was super comfy, and the cozy room opened out to a deck with breathtaking views. The generous breakfast was a real treat, and the directions to the B&B were clear and easy to follow. Although it’s a bit of a drive to get to the top of the hill, that’s exactly what gives you those amazing views—well worth it!

The view was incredible. The comfort was at least five stars! John was friendly & ensured that I had everything that I needed. The breakfast on the deck matched everything else about this home - top notch.

Indonesiasome bugs try to get in the room at night, so we have to keep the windows closed at night. John provided bug killer, so it was not a big problem anymore.
This is one of the best experience we have had staying at a B&B. We were welcomed by very friendly hosts John and Sharron, with their two cute and friendly dogs Jaydee and Daisy. Their house is very beautiful, located on top of a hill, with amazing views. We enjoyed our breakfast with a stunning view. They provide a healthy breakfast, yoghurt, boiled eggs, milk, orange juice, they even gave us delicious avocados that they grow themselves. Every morning we saw a beautiful sunrise from our balcony. Their yard is spacious, very beautiful for photoshoot, it really is like heaven on earth. Thank you John and Sharron for your hospitality, we can't wait to come back to Papamoa and stay at your place again. God bless you and your family.

AustraliaInternet not always good, especially apparently when kids are home from school. We could not access it at all 😩 had to use personal data roaming $. No milk in the room, but John said he would bring some but it would have gone off- why not have a little Longlife milk? No privacy between the bedroom and bathroom - not good if you get up in the night and sleep au naturelle 😮ok there were gowns provided. No doona cover on the bed 🤷♀️
Warwick hills Bit of a windy road up from Papamoa and then the driveway- is pretty hairy but once you get here, it’s divine. No Fridge in the room, but John offered his Fridge if we wanted to keep anything cold. No aircon but there was an adequate fan. Room was big and comfy with a stunning view. Nice strong hot shower (limit 7 mins). Breakfast- great variety from cereals, fruit juice, fruit, prunes, yoghurt toast with lots of toppings, hard boiled eggs, avocado bananas etc all eaten with a beautiful view of the valley.
