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 beds were not very comfy! They made so much noise when you moved on the bed. The layout of the house had an odd layout! And limited family entertainment space!
I liked the price mark and there were plenty of beds. The fruit trees were great!

New ZealandWindows in main bedroom were missing spacers or had loose latches so main road traffic was rather noisy from inside. Shower needs fan to be fixed as moisture has turned to mould in the bathroom.
Great location. Great amenities available to use and Handy with all the appliances available. House was mostly clean with clean towels/linen being supplied and floor and furniture seemed to be all clean.

New ZealandThere was no T.V or lounge, nothing in the kitchen for cooking, like salt/pepper or cooking oils, only one tea towel and no dishwasher, no laundry or dryer either which made doing the dishes hard with a dirty tea towel the whole weekend. The house wasn’t overly clean when we arrived, cups stains on the sink etc. Also right on the highway.
Close to sylvia park, aircon

New ZealandThe owners use a cleaning service company after customers have stayed. My feedback helped bring awareness to the quality of the service they provided. I reported that they didn't provide top sheets, only the bottom sheet so it left us concerned as to the cleanliness of the comforters. Fortunately, some of us had sleeping bags to use. I am hoping they have rectified this. The house itself is like an old bungalow, cosy with old fixtures and cabinets. The outside could use a little weeding and lawn tidy.
I liked that they had body wash available, good shower pressure, nice kitchen sink with new benchtop, and it had a homely feeling with nice decor. In a handy location to Sylvia Park just down the road.

New ZealandHouse was great and warm. Toilet is located at the back of the house which was ok I guess. However, we were quite surprised that there was no washing appliances or tv/sound system. Cutlery and kitchen tools were your minimum, no bowels or platters so we just used plates. Rooms were great. Lounge has been converted into another bedroom which come off the dinning area. Single beds in side room off lounge may need an upgrade as they sounded like they were going to break. Wifi wasnt that great so we did not really make use of it. Overall, overnight stay was great. Access and location was easy to find and close to our conference. Thank you for having us

New ZealandI used the room with the single bed. A little stool or side table would be appreciated to leave glasses/phone on (better than the floor). Perhaps a mirror too would be handy. I had visitors from overseas. The lawns needed mowing out the back. The long grass made the place look a little unkept. I'm not sure if the front door could be opened. This could be a hazard if there was a fire. I didn't notice any fire alarms in place.
I liked that the place was very clean if somewhat sparten. A few wine/drinking glasses would have been appreciated, along with a salt and pepper shaker. Perhaps a mini milk in the fridge for a cuppa tea. More tea towels for drying dishes and a couple of extra bath mats would be a good idea too. Also a roll of paper towels to keep the microwave clean.
