Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

New ZealandAll of the facilities, such as the bathrooms were very clean. The location was perfect for us as it was so close to the Abel Tasman walk. Lots of games available and hammocks, overall, the place had a very cool vibe.

New ZealandThe shower nearest the cabins had very disappointing water pressure, was barely useable. I expect the ones at the main house are better but all were in use.
We had an amazing stay here! Reasonably priced, great location & lovely little cabin. Staff were friendly, the kitchen was equipped and everyone else on site was friendly.

United KingdomJust a note for the establishment: Would be handy to have: - 2 pillows instead of one. - bedside lights so we can turn the main light off for people wanting to sleep & others read etc - hooks & shelves in rooms for bags/coats/clothes/phones/laptops etc. Really not great having to dump everything on the floor. There wasn’t a single place to put our belongings other than the floor - not really acceptable.
In a 4 bed dorm: Fab place. Cool chill out areas. Great kitchen facilities. Staff friendly and thorough with cleaning. Maintenance kept tip top. Comfy beds. Loved that is was single beds instead of bunk beds.

New ZealandNothing. It was what was expected as a base before we hiked the Able Tasman.
It was what it said it was, a bunk room with bedding and towels supplied. There are 6 rooms like this around a centre courtyard. These rooms use the kitchen and communal bathroom of the camp ground which were good and fully stocked with everything you need in a kitchen. Short walk to the Park restaurant which was good. Friendly staff. Warm. Lovely park like grounds for camping, close to the beach. Probably a 10-15 min walk to Mārahau.

AustraliaThere was nothing to not like.
The response from the facility both before booking during our stay was exceptional. They gave us so much useful information and made booking "extras" a breeze. Went the extra mile when my daughter was not sure if she had locked her car when she went on hike. She rang and they checked for her. Could not rate it highly enough.
