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...).

GermanyThe staff feel green to me. I was coming in later (21:30) so had the night shift staff. They have all the right mix of bubbly openness that really showcases kiwi authenticity and hospitality, but they weren’t acting like seasoned professionals. For example. I have my kid on my booking. It’s up front. When I asked for a roll bed I was told that they were 130€ a night. Which is true, but why would my child pay that when they sleep for free. When we finally arrived after an 8hour tiki tour, there wasn’t any bedding in the room for her. So I had to call and request a bed, but then after I was informed about the in availability of the bed, I had to stay on the line and prompt them to actually sen up a pillow and duvet. I was exhausted and seriously I stay at these place to not have to think about how my needs are being met. That’s why stars are hotly contested and only the best get 5. Now I’ve had 5star service in many countries and it’s doesn’t always map to their hotel stars. This would never happen at a 5star hotel with a bit of experience under their belts, so again: this isn’t criticism; it’s what was missing from my guest experience and I look forward to being impressed at my next stay
The location and design are amazing

New ZealandParking! there is no free secure parking, you need either pay 48nzd for a secure parking, or find free street parking which is not safe during the night. And the desk & bedside tables are a little dusty. And there is no enough face tissues left in the box (maybe 10-20sheets, we have two rooms both are the same).
The staffs are really helpful, easy to communicate and friendly. very good location! walking distance to these popular restaurant and information center.
