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...).

New ZealandThe accommodation was lovely. It has modern finishes and was neat and clean. Well stocked kitchen and a special treat of busicuits and cookies in the tea and coffee station (especially appreciated by our kids). Perfect for a quick stop in New Plymouth. And conveniently positioned just outside of town. Wendy was lovely to deal with. She answered queries promptly and was happy to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable.

New ZealandThere's nothing to dislike! If you're planning on visiting New Plymouth, stay here!!
This is our second stay here, and we would have no hesitation in staying here again. It feels like home away from home with the added bonus of a spectacular view of Mount Taranaki from the kitchen window! The property is spotlessly clean and well presented. The full kitchen, with a dish drawer, is awesome, and the bed is really comfortable. It is close to everything while also being away from the hustle! We love what you've done with the front garden!

New ZealandI had some trouble with the door initially - but that was me, not anything at the property - Wendy came down straight away and sorted it for me. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Lovely and quiet. Had a rural outlook. Very nice.

United KingdomWe loved everything!
The Aviator was excellent in all respects: it was beautifully put together with comfortable furniture, everything one could ask for in the kitchen, lovely shower room with plenty of towels, and an incredibly comfy bed (we didn't use the laundry facilities but admired the neat design). And the bonus was an incredible view of Mt Taranaki in the morning.

New ZealandNothing we would change - it was great.
Wendy was an excellent host, she contacted me quickly as I'd left a charger behind and organized collection which was greatly appreciated. Accommodation is lovely - very modern, clean, comfortable. It is well appointed, things like spare pillows and throws, the selection of coffee pods and snacks, and nice toiletries made it feel it luxurious yet welcoming and relaxing. We enjoyed the covered deck by the gardens. It is a very quiet location and we all slept well. If you need somewhere close to the airport we highly recommend The Aviator. Even then, it is a short easy drive into the city. We would definitely stay again.
