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...).

GermanyUnfortunately there is no kitchen (as correctly mentioned in the description - but still, a possibility to do some basic cooking would further improve the experience, especially when staying more than just one night). The way down from the parking spot to the venue is quite long and steep - not suitable for people with a walking disability. A note in the description would help to avoid nasty surprises.
Very nice venue with an exceptional view into the bay of Russell. Absolutely phantastic.

New ZealandThe narrow access via steps extending down side of property (externally, exposed to weather) with loose stones and fairly steep incline made it difficult as one of us was feeling exhausted.
The host was kind and friendly and the view was good. The studio was very presentable, very clean and nicely decorated throughout - a spacious bathroom, tidy lounge/dining area with a very comfy bed off to one side. The deck with table and chairs to dine alfresco was a nice touch putting visitors amongst the birds, particularly the curious weka.

AustraliaA few small touches would elevate this accomodations from excellent to being extraordinary. At this price point, the absence of milk and the very ordinary coffee were the only real disappointments.
Quiet seclusion, aspect and view very pleasing. Would definitely come back.

It was clean, tidy and a reasonable size for a couple and not too far from the city centre.

CanadaThere was a bit of a funky smell in the room, likely due to humidity. But we were able to open the windows with screens on.
We were given an upgrade to a larger room with a lovely view. It was super quiet and relaxing and an easy drive into town. It was also close to the viewpoint which, after a short walk, was breathtaking. The bed and linens were very comfortable. Overall a great stay.

New ZealandAccess to water to fill the hot water jug / get a drink was restrictive. In Treetops room some people might not like the fact the restroom facilities were behind a partition behind the bed and a person in the second bed would need to walk right past you. If one is 'picky' do not stay in the Treetops unit as it is on the upper side of the house with just a small view of bay. Feel that unit should have been at a lower price, as not worth the money paid.
Good location with elevated views over the Russell foreshore and close to the Russell flagstaff. The property is at the end of the street, which meant the lack of parking on the property was not an issue. Our friends were located a short walk away on the other side of the building and we were able to use their deck from socialising as our deck was adjacent to road and without a view. The Tree Tops is a little funky and may put some people off as you have to walk down stairs to the living space, which kids will like as it is more like a dungeon.

New ZealandAs it was my sister and I having only a half wall separating the bathroom and bedroom was awkward.
Great location, nice and quiet. Plenty of room and good facilities. Having a gate to lock at the top of the stairs was a great safety feature especially at night.

United StatesThe AC in my room stopped working after the first night and the TV was a bit spotty (the picture would go out). These were not deal breakers though.
I had a great stay at Titore Lodge. Karen is so kind and welcoming, which made my stay even better. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. I also liked that there is a hiking trail right by the property, so I could walk/hike into town (I did not have a car).
