Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United States• Leaving!
• This was the jewel in the crown of our visit to New Zealand. A perfect ending to a wonderful trip. • Perfect location, just a few minutes walk to the waterfront, shops & restaurants and the ferry to Russell. Waitanigi Treaty grounds is also walk-able and a must see. • Lovely chalet - very well appointed, comfortable with seemingly every need catered to. Super clean with thoughtful eco-friendly toiletries. • Fabulous views from the deck over the bay - the perfect place to relax. • Well equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare food or bring in take-away from a local restaurant. • Host Helen was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. • Lush vegetation and peaceful surroundings. • Take the ferry to Russell and sail aboard the R. Tucker Thompson sailing ship. Sweet!

New ZealandA great place, private with a view of the bay. Balcony to sit on and watch the boats come and go. This property is very well appointed and maintained and has lots of space. Good for long or short stays. Within walking distance to restaurants and attractions. A nice touch was a visit from the hosts just before we departed. Wish we had longer - next time !

New ZealandThe location was very central to Paihi shops, restaurants and the ferries to Russell and other tourist islands and adventures. It is worth noting for some people (not us) there is a steep hill and stairs up to the unit but that allows for the views. Very clean and tidy with all amenities you require for a very pleasant stay. Very friendly and accommodating hosts.

United KingdomLeaving. It would be nice to switch the bathroom fan off when not needed , or increase the over mirror lighting. That is my only criticism.
Everything. A Gem of an accommodation. Comfortable with excellent views. Well equipped with a music entertainment system which actually works and is not only for show. Also a Marley Bluetooth Speaker. Good Wi-fi. Excellent bath/shower room. Well supplied with quality toiletries. Will remember this stay for all of the right reasons. Well located for interesting local visits, especially the Waitangi Treaty Grounds Thank you Peter and Helen.

United StatesOnly one thing could have made the stay any better... we wish that our stay was longer!!
We expected, based on previous reviews, that the apartment would be exceptionally well-appointed, with a great view from the living and bedrooms and that the owners have left no stone unturned in creating and maintaining a superior lodging experience. Our expectations were shattered.. Abri is in a class of it's own! My recommendation to anyone considering a stay in Paihia-- look no further and book here! Additionally, we had a luggage issue prior to arrival that the owner took care of for us while we were on a tour. Words simply cannot do justice to Abri... it is simply the best.
