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...).

SwedenClose to the beach, nice. Very comfortable beds. Nice staff. Strange that such a relatively large hotel does not serve breakfast. However, Organics some 50 m away, served very good breakfast.

United StatesDealbreaker: The WiFi was absolute crap. Dropped off and on all the time, seemed slower than dial up when it was actually on. Anyone actually trying to work or watch video with it would be completely out of luck. Fortunately, other devices we had were on data so we just used that the whole time. But if you’re planning on having WiFi at this property, it’s really not there. Also, there were no bedside outlets. We had to move beds and unplug lamps to get to places to plug phones in. This property seems somewhat modern, hard to imagine there was no foresight to plan for bedside outlets at least and, better, USB ones, since pretty much every human wants their phone bedside these days. No USB plugs in room so be sure to bring your adapter.
Clean property in a wonderful location in Takapuna. Very pleasant and welcoming staff. Beautiful views of the water and easily walkable to dining and Takapuna Beach. Nice that there is parking right on the property.

United StatesElevators smelled, place looks modern on the outside but the rooms and hallways feel dated. Balconies are very skinny and scary in the high winds.
Nice view, decent lap pool, jacuzzi, decent gym, coffee shops and restaurants on the same block, helpful pleasant staff. very close to central Takapuna. Nice bed, able to make rooms very dark for sleeping, wall to ceiling windows, nice small apt sized rooms with kitchen and washer/dryer.

New ZealandDidn't sleep well as the air con unit made a clicking noise constantly as it tried to maintain the temperature I selected. Turned it off for a time but was too hot to do that for long.
Handy location, walking distance to shops and eateries. Dinner at Tok Tok, a local Asian infusion restaurant was exceptional. Shower pressure is amazing!

New ZealandThe only 2 things that stopped the stay from being perfect was that there was only 1 coffee pod supplied for the coffee machine and that maybe when making the bed someone forgot to put the mattress connector back on. The gap between the 2 mattresses was quite obvious and meant that sleeping on opposite sides was a must - maybe that was the plan ?😊 but in our case we wanted to snuggle and couldn’t.
The staff were nice, professional and helpful and our room was really nice and clean. The views from our room were amazing!
