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 ZealandNothing it was everything we needed.
Everything was perfect …. Clean tidy and in a Perfect location. The host… Tony and Lou were the best hosts ever!!! They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed and more. Tony was always around helping us launch and retrieve Skis and that was so appreciated. His smoked fish wings were the best I’ve tasted!! Big thumbs up and we will most definitely stay again :)

New ZealandMy husband and I enjoyed our stay at the White Sands, the beach was literally a stone throw away from our unit. Our host is amazing and made sure we had everything we needed Lou made us feel as home. There is a shop on-site which comes in handy for the items we didn't take with us. Love the vibe of this place, very inviting and very warm. . Take a rod or two, pack yourself lunch and sit on the beach. The people that live in Rangiputa are very friendly

New ZealandHonestly not much.
Even though the motel is a little dated, it was clean, tidy, comfy and the hosts were fantastic. Right next to the boat ramp and beach, couldn’t ask for a better location. Motel has small shop with a few necessary items, if you want a mall go to Auckland. (and stay there!)

We loved that it was dog friendly and we could bring our 4 year old collie. It was also a prime location, right on the beach! We also really enjoyed the outdoor seating under the umbrella with a great sunset view

New ZealandThe frying pan was a bit warped and the nonstick coating flaking. But in the bigger scheme of things, this is nit picking. The bbq facilities made up for it.
It was a nice touch that Tony raised the guests nationality flag. Lou was lovely and welcoming. She kept apologizing about the rainy weather - completely out of your control, Lou. We still had a marvellous time. Came prepared with raincoats and had beautiful long walks on the beach.
