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 T.V. Had no reception, which the guy in the office knew about, but didn’t seem concerned. The shower head needs fixing; at least the water was hot.
It was clean. A good location. I had room 10 at the back, upstairs, so away from the road, so less traffic noise.

New ZealandNo water one morning due to a burst water pipe. Not much hot water the rest of our 5 day stay. Not enough for 3 people. Not sure what would happen if we were a bigger group. Could not figure out how to use the laundry room.
Great sized motel 3 bedrooms and all the facilities of a house. Beds super comfy with lovely linen. Good parking, easy to find and adequate car parks.

New ZealandHad to produce my credit card and drivers license for a photo to be taken of each, which made me incredibly uncomfortable as havent had to do this before. We had room 14, which was up a staircase shared with room 15, who had a note under their door about pending eviction. The person was up and down the stairs at least 10 times between midnight and 1am and opening and closing cupboards loudly clearly in the process of shifting. This was incredibly disruptive (as well as conversations in the stairwell that echoed in the room). If it wasn't for this disruption, I would have rated differently.
Short drive to Auckland city where we had an event to attend. Free onsite parking. Room was spacious. Included a fridge and kitchen area. Very short walk to KFC for a quick bite to eat.

New ZealandThere is only 1 small t.v in the dining/lounge area, and you could only get access to basic channels. The wifi didn't extend to our room, and we were directly opposite the office. The "playground" (if that's what you could call it) is literally 2 swings on a small patch of grass, and they looked rather unsafe. The pool and spa area was "out of order." The laundry area is not accessable overnight. The complimentary tea and coffee came with a couple of very small (roughly 5ml) pods of already mixed powdered milk. There were not enough towels available for 2 adults and 2 children to have their own. The lack of cooking utensils was a bit of a bummer. The staff were unorganised and were only focused on getting the payment for the room processed. You definitely did not feel like you were a valued guest at this place.
The accommodation was very affordable. I was really impressed by the size of the accommodation/room that i booked. It was the size of an average 2brm home, and it was very clean. There was a stove with an oven and a full sized fridge freezer in the kitchen. The small gated outside area at the entrance of the unit was great. It made me feel quite safe and secure while staying there.

New ZealandThe 5th bed was a fold out sofa, which would have been fine except that there was no linen for it except a pillow and a throw type blanket. When we rang, we got given a single bedsheet.
The staff were great, 4/5 of the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was good, check in was relatively easy and straight forward. The location was great.

New ZealandCheck in was rather difficult and there was no jug in the room and the fridge had frozen the milk they had in there so was rather difficult to make a hot drink in the morning , also the sensor lights turned on at four in the morning which lit up the room even with the curtains closed so that was pretty annoying
Good location only needed the place to stay the night after a wedding , the place was quiet when I stayed

New ZealandThere was water damaged boards, there was no extractor fan in the kitchen no way of cooling the rooms down/warm them up. No extractor fan in bathroom either. Mould in bathroom tile grout. Beds had duvae inners as top blankets but no covers. Some light fittings & switches needed replacing. Table on the deck was broken. Locks on doors we thought were quite dodgy. Tv was extremely hard to use. Would have benefited from a guest book with near by cafes, taxi numbers places that they could recommend. The back of the facilities was untidy and there was rubbish lying around.
Bedroom layout, spacious easy to find. Staff were lovely.

New ZealandI didn’t like that they took a picture of my debit card and they charged me a extra $200 for bond and when we went to check out no one was at reception to sort that the bond stuff out and when it will be refunded. No one was ever at reception for the 2 days we stayed there and you always had to call the number given. It is a bit outdated and old.
It was clean & tidy but rooms are very outdated.
