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...).

AustraliaUnfortunately the road is the main road to the port and heavy logging trucks regularly passing by ... at all times of day and night. So be aware that there is a reasonable amount of traffic noise. However I think the positive features of the property outweigh this negative for me. Unusual location of the property being at the edge of a carpark. But understandable once you know the history of the property.
The accommodation features were to a high standard. Large modern kitchen. Lovely leather lounge chairs. Huge table. 2 bathrooms. It was very spacious. Big plus was having grab rails in one of the bathrooms for my elderly father. Although very close to a main road, the surrounding lattice, plants, and vines ensured complete privacy.

New ZealandOur second stay at the Front Office, and still our favourite holiday home. This time we learned that the cleaning team arrive very promptly at 10am check-out - fortunately they were super nice about us needing an extra few minutes to get out the door. Next time we'll keep a closer eye on the clock in the morning :-)

New ZealandThe location is intially a little off putting- essentially in the corner of a car park with a view of Mitre 10. However this made the interior and the calm, secluded soace of the garden even more of a lovely surprise.
The house was lovely - spacious and comfortable with a large and well stocked kitchen. One bedroom and bathroom are off the kitchen and are more modern than the other rooms which are along the other side of the house. Lovely little garden outside.

New ZealandA very unique property! Firstly, it's literally in the back corner of the Mitre 10 carpark - we had great fun telling people we were staying in the carpark at Mitre 10. The property itself was fantastic - whoever did the interior has a very good eye. Original features were highlighted amongst modern, luxurious comfort. We particularly loved the old safe in the living room. Exterior landscaping was also lovely, although we didn't spend much time outside due to the time of year. Despite the location it was quiet and we didn't hear the traffic at night. We're very keen to stay again. Parking and key collection were straightforward and easy.

New ZealandSmall issue, we think the dish drawer closest to the sink was leaking, however there was two, so we used the other with no issue. We left a note advising, so likely will be attended to & sorted.
Location was excellent, 5 minutes maximum travel to City Centre & Stadium. Quiet location & easy parking including covered overnight park facility. Interior was immaculate with comfortable relaxing furniture, heat pump in each bedroom as well as lounge.

New ZealandThe location was a bit of a surprise - in the corner of a large carpark. After reading the history of the property however, the location made sense. The property was private and secure, so it wasn’t a problem at all. We weren’t bothered by the busy road.
Lots of room, large living area and spacious bedrooms; modern, roomy kitchen. The teenagers all had their own space. Sheltered outside courtyard was nice too. Easy walk to the beach, main shops and swimming pool. Dairy and takeaways close by.
