Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 ZealandKitchen and fridge a bit small for family cooking (just two hob element) in the disability unit. We managed for our 3 nights but had to adapt our cooking plans as no oven.
Spotlessly clean, lovely, friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Right by the beach.

United KingdomWhen I first arrived on the Sunday afternoon there was some loud music coming from, I think a residential accommodation next door. It only,lasted a couple of hours, after that it was very quiet.
Location by the beach. Spacious and very clean. Had all the amenities needed for a two night stay if not longer. V close to the centre of Opononi which is a small delightful place , as a very good cafe which is then a very good thai restaurant in the evening. Local supermarket too. Close to the Kouto boulders worth a visit.

CanadaThe view from sitting outside our room was our parked vehicle and the parking lot. I thought a little overpriced based on our stays throughout New Zealand with the same amenities.
It was very clean and comfortable and quiet location. They provided us with beach towels upon request and an adapter as we left ours behind at our last location.

New ZealandIt was a bit warm as there was no air conditioning. Not a huge deal, but most lodgings have this these days.
Nice hosts, clean accommodations. Right across the street from the beach, though no beach view for most, if any of the rooms. There are several eating establishments and stores within walking distance, which is nice.

New ZealandAfter our arrival from Waiheke (whole day journey) we dined at Opononi Hotel, which was FUN as well as having great food. We enjoyed our breakfast at the cafe next to iSite very much and then we headed off to visit the highly recommended Manea Footprints of Kupe centre - this was amazing for me, a Kiwi pākehā, who has, over time, been introduced to multiple versions of the origins of Māori, the various gods and personas involved involved in the origin, departure, journey and ultimate arrival of people who have become to be known as Māori. For some people it may be challenging to understand however I would sincerely encourage people to open their minds to the amazing maritime navigation and seafaring abilities of Māōri ancestors (tupuna).

New ZealandHaving to leave and not being able to stay an extra night due to being fully booked that weekend 😍 We will defiantly back and we will be booking a few nights well in advance. . Great host too, very informative, helpful and understanding due to arriving later than planned. Appreciate your service A+
Right across the road from the beach, amazing view in the evening and morning. Perfect location. Very clean, tidy and loved the simple decor especially the art work including the down to the cushions. Would love to know the brand of the queen mattress especially the two (2x) stretcher beds too as they we’re the most comfortable of all.

United KingdomWe had a standard queen room which was a decent size with fridge and microwave but no kitchen (which we knew). A small washing up station was provided which was great but a little tricky to use in the space.
Lovely and clean, close to the beach, free parking onsite, very comfortable bed, very friendly staff, great undercover clothes drying area, beautiful gardens. Lovely BBQ area (although we didn’t use it). Lovely little veranda to sit out on which felt pretty private.
