Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Lovely location, we had 2 bed seaview apartment. Very quite area even tho restaurants across road & below. Would definetly recommend a stay here. Great shower, our bed may be ready to be changed soon, bit dippy on edges but otherwise comfy. Walking distance to lovely street with cafes and shops. Close to town centre. Parking on site was also bonus.

The only complaint we had was that it says you get 50+ sky channels, well most of the channels that you get are free to air, or some sport channels, we thought you would get better viewing options with tvnz and 3 on demand.
The Navigate Seaside Hotel is very well situated in the heart of Ahuriri, we had a lovely view of the sea and surrounding hills of Napier. The room was a perfect size for our two night stay, it was very clean and comfortable and the staff were all very friendly, our car was very secure in the underground car park, I would highly recommend staying here.

Only one blunt (paring size) knife for cutting anything we ate in the room. Needs a sharp paring knife plus a long bread knife. As there is only a toaster and microwave, we appreciate you don't want guests cooking too much. Howeve,r we enjoyed having breakfast in our room looking out over the bay from our level 2 room. Microwave cooks bacon fine.
Great views from level 2 room. Added to the relaxing 4 day holiday we had.

Weird concern about the key system. Our room key opened the front entrance door which leads me to believe each room has the same key/lock? Correct me if I am wrong!
Service was fantastic, bed were extremely comfortable, and was clean!

We stayed in room 108 which is the middle unit, beachfront ground level. There is no separation between units if sitting outside. It was a little discerning that the concrete wall between the footpath and units could easily be jumped if someone wanted to. I also had to be careful in the shower as it I found it a bit slippery before using any showering products. Sound proofing would be a nice addition to the rooms. Unsure how/why the night there were no vacancies we were able to secure a car park and when there were vacancies available, we had to park on the street?
Great location. Awesome room layout, was a great size and had everything you could want. Very comfortable bed. Table for two to eat at. Great size TV and sky. Fantastic shower pressure. Beach right across the road, less than a 2 minute walk. Very central to everything by car and surrounded by restaurants.
