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...).

United KingdomThere wasn't much ventilation in the rooms aside from having the windows open, which we didn't want to do in case of mosquitos. The rooms are dated and you can hear a reasonable amount of noise, although the venue itself was quiet and no late night issues. The BBQ area is the only place you can cook food, we used this a few times and cleaned the equipment, but it seems other customers did not do cleaning. The venue are very clear you're not even to make noodles in the microwave within the room, which seems a bit strict considering lack of indoor cooking availability.
Check in was easy enough and there was parking. The location was good, near the bars & restaurants and close to the beach. The resident kitties were gorgeous & friendly.

New ZealandThe tap in the bathroom was hard to turn on and had strange water pressure . There was no kitchen sink so that made it a bit awkward
There are 2 amazing friendly cats. Any place with cats is a good place for me. Had spades for hot water beach.

CanadaThis motel is located just steps from the beach, and a couple of blocks from the passenger ferry, as well as shops, cafes and restaurants. We used it as a base to explore the Coromandel Peninsula, and it was perfect. The room was simple, but had everything we needed, including a fridge, microwave and some dishes for simple breakfasts. There's a BBQ and drying lines for bathing suits outside too, and free parking for all rooms. We visited in the summer, and the fans in the room kept us cool at night. The area is very quiet, no concerns about loud guests either.

This was a delightful stay near the beach in Whitianga. The room was clean and had sweet little touches, like a dark facecloth for makeup and USB charging ports in the plug in. The bedding was super comfortable and we appreciated the dish service.

IndiaMaybe it was the season - just after the new year. It was expensive compared to other places . It would have been great if a simple breakfast was served.
The location was great! Could walk to town and the Marina. Lots of restaurants nearby. The room had a toaster and microwave and had an outdoor kitchen. Very cosy and super comfortable beds. Friendly owners. Good Parking
