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...).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

New ZealandWe were greeted by Lisa and Jeff on arrival as the weather was bad and they helped us off load the bags and food and park the car. The apartment was amazing.... Fantastic views along Maraetai beach... Very private... The apartment itself was modern, decorated beautifully... It was just like stepping into paradise. The bed and bedding including pillows the best I've ever slept in.... Everything you could imagine at your fingertips. Hightly recommend for couples or single people wanting a treat away from home...

We stayed in March this year. We enjoyed a beautiful drive along the Pōhutukawa Coast to this great location close to and overlooking the beach, turquoise waters, and Waiheke Island. The apartment was spacious and well set out, and the bed was super comfy.

United KingdomNothing. There was nothing wrong with anything.
Excellent views and the flat was very well equipped and comfortable for staying in. Cosy furnishings and designer layouts. Really made the trip a pleasure. The cafes down on the beach front were good quality too. The area has a great fun vibe to it with people enjoying themselves on beach etc. Owners had good communication with us in the run up to booking and clearly told us how to get entry and where to park. The flat also had bathroom shampoo etc which was a great bonus as kept the luggage down. Definitely would stay here again and for longer. 5 star ++

New ZealandThe driveway is very steep, wouldn't recommend a lowered car. Pillows on the bed were very bulky, maybe have two options.
Absolutely loved the view and the very modern decor. Spacious area, perfect for a couple. Loved it.

New ZealandI liked everything, I just couldn't work out how to work the tv properly haha
Loved the view, and the house was amazing such a relaxing place to stay. I have never felt so relaxed and calm in an apartment. Loved the extras added like electric blankets and slippers for after a shower. Loved it so much that one night was long enough and have booked in again for the following weekend. It's truly hard to explain how beautiful, amazing and tidy this apartment is. The owners were also amazing and let us have a later check out time

Location was perfect. We used to live in Maraetai and wanted to finish our NZ adventure there with the view we had. Apartment is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The perfect finale.
