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...).

New ZealandWhat could’ve been better was location, titikaveka had some bumpy roads which made driving a bit to annoying. Also me and my family loved visiting town every now and then but it was just too far.
Everything! The home feeling, the swimming pool. Large kitchen and spacious bathroom. It just made you feel right at home. There were shops just down the street, a beautiful scenic beach not far from the villa, everything you could’ve asked for.

New ZealandThe smoke alarms are overly sensitive and can be set off by humidity (rain). Pool is great but difficult for people with hip problems to climb in and out.
Loved the size and the space. Much cooler then properties right by the beach. Unlimited internet was awesome. Beds were comfy, showers spacious. Came with everything you need to relax with your family and friends.

The house is amazing. It felt like our own piece of paradise. It has all of the creature comforts which made our stay enjoyable and really affordable. The pool was the ultimate luxury and the kids really used it every moment they could.

New ZealandAmazing place to stay!! Bob is fantastic to deal with. Even got a cake made for our sons birthday which tasted absolutely great 🎂. Totally recommend to anyone staying here 100%. You have everything you need, shops not too far. I do recommend to get a car rental as it is a bit in land but other than that this holiday home is the place to stay.

New ZealandNothing that pops out. With having a young child maybe a fence around the pool but that’s just personal preference. We really liked staying here
This is a huge villa. 4 big sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with a toilet and shower in each. Spacey kitchen and lounge and of course a private pool

New ZealandThe only thing we had an issue with was when other guests arrived to check into their villa early one morning, entered our property. Might need more visible signs for each villa.
The property was perfect for our family, spacious, comfortable with everything we needed. We would highly recommend to our family and friends. The cleaners were awesome too.

New ZealandOnly one minor critique is that the property does not have amazing beach views. However everything else about the property value wise cannot be beaten, it’s perfect for a large family and you even hire out all four villas if you have a large group.
Large Villas were fully furnished and with 4 bedrooms allowing twin or king setups was perfect. Full open plan Kitchen and dining as well as washing machine and drier. Having a pool was a fantastic bonus and the location in Titikaveka meant we were just 5 mins from Muri Beach and plenty of dining spots in either direction of the Villa. Very easy to find the property as it’s not to far from the main road. The staff of Bob and Racheal were lovely friendly people and looked after us
