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 ZealandThe walk around to the men's showers was badly lit at night.
Very reasonable cost, good size room, lots of native birds around the place. We practically had the place to ourselves so could hang out in the dining/lounge area as long as we liked. Great value for money.

New ZealandThe flies in the cottage! Really yuck. The TV didn't work, we weren't told the internet logon. A couple of bunk mattresses were almost non-existent.
The heater, the cottage was well appointed, the secret room was loved by the children, the bathroom was good, water pressure and heat was great. And seeing kiwi was awesome!

New ZealandThe carpark was free (always a bonus) although it was a bit tight if two cars needed to be parked by the cabins. Personally, I'd love a small UHT milk than having packet creamer in the room.
We could upgrade our cabins very easily and were met by a delightfully friendly and helpful reception staff! Loved the new pool and the highlight was seeing 3 kiwi roaming around the back of the park at 10.30pm!

Ideally situated between ferry and Russell. Easy drive into town. Pool looked lovely but was closed the day we arrived because of a storm. All cleaned up promptly. Nice cabin with private deck looking towards river.

New ZealandUnfortunately the whole park is a bit run down and needs lots of love. We believe next visit it will be like new as a new management took over and they were quickly responding to our requests.
The management team was exceptional, they went the extra mile and sorted any issues straight away. We told them about the fridge not keeping low temperatures and they brought a brand new fridge within two hours. That was awesome!

New ZealandShower kept going cold, went for a swim came back to a lot of ants on the bench, bed in larger room was a bit soft and kept rolling into the middle. Happened to be alot of fishermen and their boats 15+ quite alot of noise and partying going on but being a fair distance away from main block it wasn't too bad. Still enjoyed my stay here besides these minor faults.
Have Stayed here before in the family room, this time booking into the 2 bedroom bungalow self contained unit, had a large fridge, 4 burner gas stove, well equipped kitchen, liked it alot. Awesome pool and playground for children, tidy and clean

AustraliaThe park is well located, the bird life is amazing, renovation is underway, the cleanliness is the best it can be while this is occurring...a bit of mould on outdoor cushions with a woven cane suspended from the outdoor deck is to be expected. This place is unique and well worth a visit.
