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):
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.
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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

New ZealandWe didn’t have any wifi for the first couple of days but a tech guy eventually came and fixed the problem. I was expecting the living area to be a bit bigger, but we had great weather so we spent most of our time outdoors so it wasn’t an issue for us.
Perfect location for our family group. The new outdoor area with the Sun loungers and outdoor shower was excellent. The view was great and the swimming and snorkeling right in front of the apartments was excellent. Kayaks and snorkeling gear was great too. It was also very convenient having the supermarket just over the road.

New ZealandThe location and apartment were absolutely perfect. The snorkeling just outside the apartment was amazing, so many beautiful fish to look at! I could not recommend this apartment more! We enjoyed having a bbq too. The host was very responsive, we had broken snorkels and they replaced them straight away. Check in was easy and there is a 24/7 shop very close by, the kids loved getting ice creams there at night!

New ZealandFantastic accomodation! The weather was quite windy during our stay but the beach in front of the apartments was protected from the wind as was our balcony. This was so nice as we could still sit outside and not be wind swept away! The apartment was clean and serviced every couple of days. Fantastic snorkelling right in front of the property and we saw a turtle every day right on high tide. My husband also saw a manta ray and a moray eel. We couldn’t fault this accomodation and would happily stay here again. Thank you.

New ZealandThe only thing that was different is that the apartment was never serviced during out stay so could have had more soap/tea/coffee. It would have been good to have body wash and shampoo available too (Maybe in those sustainable bottles that are attached to the shower like hotels have). They could have had more children's sizes for life jackets and flippers. However everything else was so good, we didn't mind - this comment is more to prepare people to bring these things with you if you can, not a complaint. Also a roller blind would have been good in the main bedroom.
Absolutely fabulous location right in front of a beautiful safe beach, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. We have two teenagers and so the two bedrooms were great, even though in a block of 4 apartments it was quiet and private. The master bedroom had a fantastic view as did the lounge. Internet was good, large shower and we never ran out of hot water. It was easy to get the keys when arriving at the apartment and easy to get the damage deposit back. There is a free laundry with washing machine, drying racks and dryer. Kayaks and life jackets were available, although large sizes. The apartment is not large but just like in the photos so there are no surprises. It was a minute walk to a local store and one of the best restaurants on the Island, Vaima Restaurant - the pizzas are very good and it's right on the beach! I would 100% recommend this apartment for anybody who values a fantastic view and being able to step right into a beautiful and safe beach from your apartment. The location is a huge highlight of this apartment!
