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 really apart from the price but with all the perks mentioned, it is pretty reasonable.
The house was superb. Very cosy and well presented. Everything we need which includes making your own coffee ground. We are coffee lovers and it was a delight to find coffee machine and own coffee grinder with coffee beans provided. It was awesome. Our stay was very relaxing. Another plus factor for us is that we were able to bring our furbaby and the property is a few meters away from the beach. Really great for our morning walk. We also went biking and the whole stretch of papamoa beach road is very bike-friendly and for me who is a beginner at biking, this was really a delight.

New ZealandWashing machine was broken but not a biggie 4 me.
This was my 2nd stay here. Love it. So close to the beach 4 me & my dogs. Pet friendly, which is why I chose it in the 1st place. And close to fashion island/ papamoa plaza. Check in easy with lock box. Staff are quick to respond to any questions.

New ZealandRoad noise was quite loud. Outdoor areas are really lovely however they could do with a little cleaning and maintenance. Wet and forget could make a difference.
Location was very good with easy acces to to beach. Shops and cafes readily available within a walk or short drive. Finding a real coffee machine was very exciting and most welcome.

New ZealandAm really disappointed in the property - we thought it included the garage and games room, which was important as we have bikes that need to be kept secure, it was one of the main reasons we booked this property. However it turns out the games room and garage weren't accessible as shown in the photos. The kitchen is missing utensils like a spatula for turning eggs, the frypan Teflon is very scratched (and were dirty in the cupboard with mouse poo) the hot tap on the vanity is very loose, the filter tap in the kitchen is leaking. There is no firewood for the fireplace

New ZealandFalse advertisement on Bookings, play room with football and air hockey table was closed for guests although it showed on booking photos and information that it is included. Very disappointing for children Run out of gas for the stove on day 2 of our stay only to be told they will replace it on day 5. We left the property on day 8 still without any gas. Property management never replaced the gas or informed us that it would not be done after day 5 like they said. The big waste bin was full when we arrived and we couldn't empty any house bins in the big bin for the entire stay. Extremely rude staff who just cut off the phone while speaking

New Zealandno garage parking but that was expected from the photos and description though, main difficulty are the stairs that leads from the street parking, so for those with heavy or plenty of luggage - be aware of this.

IrelandThere is nothing that we didn't like, we'd recommend this property to anyone. We'd love to return in the summer, although the weather we had in August was amazing.
The location is fabulous, a short walk to a beautiful beach and very nice restaurant/beach bar. The property was spacious, the beds are comfortable and everything was exceptionally clean and tidy. The facilities and kitchen equipment provided were outstanding, we wanted for nothing.
