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 ZealandIt would've been great to have a discount for long stays.
A very comfortable stay right on the Beautiful Muri lagoon. Communication and service from staff was excellent and we had all that we needed. Close walk to filtered water station, dairy and laundromat. Nice addition having the phone free for use as well as kayaks, life jackets and snorkeling geer. I also appreciated the library of books to choose from. Highly recommend this place to families with young children.

New ZealandThere are dogs on site (albeit it very friendly and sweet dogs that don't bark or beg but do come and say hello). For those who are scared of dogs they may find that a little bit intimidating though. Also no air-con available so if bear that in mind if that's a dealbreaker for you; though the lagoon is right there to jump in and there are fans.
Absolutely stunning location right on the lagoon with the water almost right at your feet. It really is beautiful. The staff were so friendly and good at communicating beforehand, has a real family feel. Very clean room with delightful staff who came and serviced it daily. Self catering facilities are also great so you can cook, eat and hang out at home. Fans available keep the room breezy at night. Kayaks available to take out on the lagoon too. Would definitely come again

New ZealandAmazing staff. I was able to communicate with them daily on whether I wanted my room cleaned or not. Having some teenagers with me sometimes they slept in and I was able to relax with that. When we went out on adventures we came home to a fresh room. The kayaks and snorkelling gear was awesome. A picturesque backyard. I travelled as a single Mum with my 3 sons. A simple room but just right for us. Very cost effective too.

United States of AmericaEven though the nights cooled down it was too hot inside the Kabana to stay inside during the day. We spent most days on the porch. An air conditioner would have been appreciated.
The beachfront location was beautiful and the tide changes were wonderful to see. The Kabana was very clean and well equipped.

New ZealandCommunication was excellent the whole way through before my stay and leading up to it and finishing. The Location of Kura's is awesome as Muri Beach is amazing. It is so handy to the night markets, rental cars, and glass bottom boats if you wish to go check out the beautiful fish. Kabana was clean and tidy and nice outlook towards the water. Enjoyed my stay here very much.

AustraliaThe staff was so nice, they're really helpful. Our room was always clean everytime we get back, got fresh clean sheets and towels every 3 to 4 days. It's worth the stay and the money I spent on the room. So thank atupaka to the workers at Kura's Kabana.

FinlandThere is a milk-glass backdoor to the sun. Because of that, room was very hot at daytime. Thanks the fans, it was ok again at late evening and night. Because of that door, there comes a lot of light in the mornings as well. When they change or cover that door, this is great place!
Nice big cottage near the beach. Clean and bathroom was very nice. Best shower for a long time. Good referigator and fridge. Near enough for everything in Muri.

AustraliaOverall, excellent place to stay. Right on Muri lagoon, very convenient location. Close to the night markets, LBV doughnuts. The lagoon is very calm and very good for kids to play. My one year old absolutely loved it. The accommodation was self catering and had a well equipped kitchen. We initially thought the lack of air conditioning would be an issue, but the family unit had vaulted ceilings, fans and adequate ventilation and it did not feel hot because of that. Also, our view was amazing!! Fair price, we loved it.
