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 ZealandI loved it all!
What a beautiful place to stay, like a retreat, so relaxing. The room was delightful with antique furniture and comfortably appointed. The grounds are tranquil, you would not know you were so close to the city center.

Lovely location, the actual house is set in a beautiful garden on a hill on a quiet street. It is also close to a well used and interesting walking track and an easy and interesting walk downhill to the city. The studio has gorgeous furniture, views through cut glass windows into deep foliage and a lovely sunning area outside with generous lace covered couch.

Lovely host! Charming, heritage refinished home. Warm room, very comfortable bed & pillows. aesthetic lighting, writing desk, Wi-Fi, bar fridge & crook ware, underfloor heating in the bathroom. Breakfast not advertised (I'm not a breakfast person) but an amazing spread of health foods, including my own personal omelets were provided with a very warm & pleasant smile. Reflecting back, it felt like I was staying wit a relative. And a short stroll to Central Nelson! Thank you Paulina!

New ZealandShower water was a little cool BUT only because I showered very early in the morning before the SOLAR Panels had a chance to heat the water. It was no issue really.
Exceptional place, warm friendly hospitality, lovely atmosphere, an awesome breakfast both mornings, great location, knowledgeable owner and very helpful in so many ways, this is a place I would definitely go out of my way to visit again.

New ZealandThe size and position of the TV was awkward. Fridge was not easily accessible, and the freezer box didn't work. We found the WiFi not easy to connect to. Driver confidence is needed to access the carpark which is down a steep drive and our bigger car size was a tight fit.
A very spacious studio. Good-sized wet floor shower. Nice hot water supply. Heater kept the studio warm. Place had all the kitchen utensils and items needed. Nice set of glassware for wines. The host was very friendly and helpful.

New ZealandAbsolutely nothing, it was perfect.
Both breakfast and location were excellent, food was freshly prepared with a wide varitiy to chose from. And the view from the dinning area was great. While we visted in winter, the gardens were lovely and serene and would be a great spot to relax and unwind.

Villa Studio: Spacious suite, overlooking the garden and water feature. It gets the morning sun. I liked the feeling of privacy afforded by its own entrance and patio, and I enjoyed sitting at my laptop with a view of treed hills and greenery. Host Paulina is welcoming and generous. The studio is self-catering (but a plentiful breakfast spread is bookable) and has a king-size bed, sofa and day-bed. The kitchenette has a countertop oven and electric hot-plates, coffee-plungers and plenty of cookware. A mini-fridge is inside cupboards, and a half-size fridge is available in the storage room next door. Luggage racks and clothes-drying rack are provided. Laundry service is offered. The WiFi is very good.
