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...).

AustraliaWOW! This place absolutely knocked our socks off! We loved the view, the personal service from our host and the clean, comfortable and well appointed apartment. It had everything we wanted, including onsite parking and free kayaks. I would 100% stay there again and I'll be recommending this place to friends and family.

United KingdomThe only thing I didn’t like was the steep driveway but I’m sure you would get use to it after a while.
Wow this is an amazing property, what a view to wake up to. Everything was clean and new, perfectly equipped with everything that you would need from kitchen items to beach towels. Beds were comfortable, linen lovely, private balcony to sit out was great with a bbq and the short walk down to the beach to walk into town was lovely. My teenage girls loved the kayaks which was a great treat.

AustraliaNothing at all.
Amazing location and views over the Bay of Islands - just stunning. Excellent apartment and facilities - all you need for a great stay. Nothing lacking in space in the apartment, balcony, furnishings inside and out to make a very comfortable and memorable stay. Comfortable bed as well. Theo was an informative host. Nice beach at property's doorstep and a comfortable short walk into town via the beach. Overall excellent value for money.

United States of AmericaWe didn't like the steep driveway coming in and out, but that cannot be helped. Such driveways are common in New Zealand.
The place was so clean. The views from our extra large balcony were absolutely spectacular. The place was roomy and very comfortable. The hosts Theo and Sopha were extra friendly and helpful, going so far as to drive us into town a couple of times. They were so accommodating in every way without being intrusive. It was a short walk to town that you could walk along the beach unless it was high tide, when you must go around on the main road. It was a steep vigorous climb either way, but we appreciated the exercise.

DenmarkThe roads to get there are steep and it’s a bit difficult to find the place.
The apartment was huge and had all you needed to enjoy your stay. The view from the apartment balcony was stunning and difficult to leave. And it was possible to walk from the apartment to Paihia by the beach instead of always taking the car.

United KingdomThe accommodation could have been so much better. We ate on balcony one evening and next door kept turning off balcony lights since they were shared, but it was only 9pm! The rooms smelt a bit musty and needed freshening up. Although lots of teabags no breakfast tea so had to buy those.mirror to side of wash hand making it more difficult to shave. Wifi really bad and kept dropping. All little things but if remedied would have made a perfect stay If tide is in then difficult walk into town unless you go the long way around
The property had amazing views,great balcony with bbq, great shower and comfortable bed

IrelandMissed having a hob for cooking. With such an amazing view, the best place for dinner was the balcony.
Spectacular view, great to be able to walk into town along the beach, (though not at night). Spacious and comfortable, lovely bathroom with great shower and bath. Our host Theo met us at the apartment, and was so helpful. Really enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomFor us the bed was a little hard but our hosts are looking at that - it was a new mattress... If you are driving then get ready for a fun driveway!
The location was fantastic with an awesome balcony and view. The house was really well equipped (herbs and spices included!) and the hosts friendly and helpful. All in all a brilliant experience, exceeding expectations.

United States of AmericaParking was free and available, but challenging with anything bigger than a compact car. You are situated halfway down the cliffside to the beach. The same thing that gave spectacular views also made for very steep driveway and very tight 5 point turns to park....was it worth it...in my mind, yes...but I would rather not have to.
The view from all the rooms was fantastic. Theo, our host was was very helpful and enjoyable to be with. Close to town, yet not in the noise of it
