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 thoughtfulness of how the room was set up. Lots of space and the most comfortable bed. The kitchen set up with different continental breakfast choices. This was my pick of the holiday. The bonus for me was the incredible stunning villa it was attached to. This rural property doesn't disappoint. Loved the cows in the paddock next door. Perfect for a break away. Can't wait to go back.

AustraliaEverything was perfect and providing snacks and breakfast was excellent.
It was easy to get into the property, the bed and pillows were really comfortable and shower was great. It was perfect for us as we needed to get to the airport around 11 in the morning and we wanted a no stress drive.

The location is close to the beach. The accommodation is very good and made even better that a history of the property, move from original location and renovation was provided. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The snacks and breakfast food was plentiful. A great place to stay at.

New ZealandThere was just the issue and that was the little “lip” on entering thru the door. One of us tripped on this until we knew to avoid. Not a major but it might be for someone else.
There was everything we could possibly need and the little touch’s of the chocolates were most welcome. The breakfast was substantial and suited both of our different breakfast palettes. The whole room was spotlessly clean and tidy. And the fact that we neither heard or saw anyone was great. The added benefit to us was that the original house came from where we grew up and knew the story. Not knowing this before we booked!

New ZealandI loved everything about this stay
Frankley this should be a destination stay for any traveller in this location. The owner, who we had the privilege to meet has merged her passion for family and relaxation with her exceptional gift of hospitality into every detail of the room. The merger of modern with the past works exceptionally well. You are transported back to the past, via the vista of the main house and the beautiful rural landscape, while enjoying and eclectic mix of modern and antique fixtures in your room. With clean, modern, fully stocked and functional kitchenet, walk in wardrobe and immaculately clean bathroom, you will simply enjoy this cosey piece of paradise. Luxury hand soaps and body wash add to the plush fresh clean towels. The food provided for breakfast is an indulgence, cereals, bread, muffins, coffee, tea, milk and all the condiments and other treats to delight you. I would simply go back there tomorrow

Money was worth. Quiet,peaceful,clean,tidy, perfect location and best of all was we didn't take much food with us and didn't dine out either. There was so much of food in the room provided by the host which was enough for our 3 days stay. The Huntly House is something to stay with ones memories.

New ZealandThe bed was a queen size and, while a little smaller than what we are used to, was warm and comfortable. There was a shortage of space to put an open suitcase, but there were plenty of interesting things to look at in the room.
The breakfast selection was excellent as was the quality of the food and there was as much as you could want. The facilities were of a high quality and the Hostess was very obliging and friendly. The location is rural, but is close to a golf club and boat launching facilities into the Manukau Harbour.

New ZealandPerhaps a couple of chairs for the dining table however we brought the chairs in from the deck so no real problem. The room was "compact", another metre either way would have made a big difference. However this has to be offset against the very moderate tariff.
10/10 for cleanliness. Generous allowance of breakfast food, quiet surroundings, diligent neighbourhood watch!
