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...).

Czech RepublicNothing, only that we have to leave after 2 nights, we would like to stay longer.
New appartment, very nicely decorated with all equipment you need even for a week or longer stay, living room and extra bedroom is bonus. Appartment is separated from owners part, she lives next door and cooked for us very nice breakfast every morning. Dishwasher, washing machine, nice free coffee, tea, chocolate, milk all was there. Very good wifi and Netflix available too. Small patio where you can sit on the fresh air.

AustraliaThe room was very modern and clean, you can tell the host cares about the property and puts in a lot of effort maintaining it. Very happy with how kind the host was and even gave us the option for a cooked breakfast. There was plenty of parking space for a car and a spacious room/unit. Would highly recommend to others.

AustraliaBeing a little separated from the commercial district meant that you needed a car to go out to restaurants, but it also meant that it was a quiet location and great for sleeping.
Jan was the perfect host, providing helpful information about walks, activities and restaurants in Rotorua. She was eager to receive feedback about the accommodation as well as her recommendations to pass onto future guests. She was friendly but also very conscious of our privacy.

New ZealandOnly thing I could mention but not necessarily a negative is no soap supplied in shower. Was not a problem for us as we had ample.
A cooked breakfast for two both mornings was magical considering we were only expecting continental. Room fully renovated with everything thing we needed. Super friendly owner and great location !! Received a little chocolate welcoming gift and bottled water was a nice gift. Highly recommend!!

Can't believe we stumbled across this B&B so last minute with everything else booked up! Jan was so accommodating - made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. Communication was efficient and simple. Her lovely cooked breakfast each morning was amazing and a well appreciated bonus.

AustraliaThe place is a one bedroom unit, with separate bedroom, bathroom, and open plan kitchen, dining and lounge. Off street parking in front of unit. The lovely host provided a fully cooked breakfast which was exceptional. It is about 1km from the CBD. We were told the place was new and we were the forth folk to stay. Totally recommend.

New ZealandCouldnt stay longer!!
Jan was a lovely host, she was cheerful and charming but not intrusive, was very flexible with our changing breakfast times, cooked my eggs and bacon perfectly!! The unit was clean, modern and well furnished, bed was comfortable and sheets soft. Shower was good and hot with plenty of water. There is off street parking thats covered by her security camera so we rested easy knowing our rental was safe. The location is perfect, 5 minute drive from CBD, Polynesian spa and food courts. If your looking for a good nest for a weekend away then I highly recommend Jan's BnB!!! Absolutely loved our long over due weekend away and Jan's spot absolutely made it!!! 10 stars!!!!!!
