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...).

Amazing place with a great view, I’ve never seen a place with such attention to the details. Plants, candles and breakfast, just everything was something I’ve never seen even in 5 star hotels.

New ZealandLovely studio that was tastefully decorated. The standard was that of a luxury hotel. Comfortable bed, great bathroom and well set up kitchen. The breakfast was well covered with a lot of choices. Nice outlook onto a lawn, bush and farmland. Ten minutes to Waipu village. Very friendly hosts. We will be back.

New ZealandWe had an amazing stay and it felt like a retreat. Set in the most beautiful location with stunning views. The apartment was quite luxurious and added extras like scented bath salts and very comfortable bed added to a great stay. Appreciated the very generous breakfast and being greeted by Molly the dog whenever we pulled up at accommodation. I hope we get to stay again one day. Thank you Peta and Rich for sharing your little piece of paradise.

New ZealandExcellent accommodation. I have stayed in many places in my work travels, and this is in the top 1%. Clean, modern, comfortable, discreet, lovely views and the breakfast was fantastic. Bed was super comfortable. Modern kitchen was fully stocked with tea, coffee pods and lots of awesome treats for breakfast (including croissants)! Walk in shower with rain head option was an added bonus for me. Would love to bring my wife back for a mini stay. She would love the stand-alone bath for a relaxing soak at the end of the day!

Wairimu lodge is the most beautiful BnB set in the countryside just 10 mins from Waipu.The lovely hosts, Peta and Rich have created a very special sanctuary and have thought of everything you could possible want. Lovely decor, the most comfortable bed, a luxurious bathroom, beautiful products and a very generous breakfast. It was very relaxing to sit on the deck with a Nespresso coffee (the only place we've stayed with a milk frother as well)!! and enjoy the gorgeous view. We would love to return soon.

New ZealandNothing at all! 😊
What a beautiful sanctuary for R&R. Peta & Rich were very friendly and accommodating. We got there later than expected and they made our check in simple and the lodge warm and cosy. We loved our big breakfast and the fridge was stocked up with a plethora of yummy drinks and treats. The room was immaculate and the bathroom /big bath tub was glorious especially with thoughtful touches of bathbombs and other amenities. Couldn't have asked for a better host 👌

New ZealandEvery detail had been considered and the only minor negative was that the newish looking air fryer had probably been broken by the previous occupants. To remedy this the owner heated our breakfast croissants in her air fryer which was appreciated.
Location was superb with native bush, views of cows in the fields and the ocean! It was so quiet and peaceful but just about 8 minutes to Waipu township.
