Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The showers weren’t perfect as one would go hot and cold and the one in the laundry needs the shower head replaced. But everything else was great otherwise 😊
It was warm and cosy and the bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. The dryer was great for those rainy days. Nice to have the paid tv options for evening entertainment.

It was a very rigorous process to book this property - needed to give a lot of personal information (identity documents), credit card etc which seemed over the top for a 3 night stay.
Wonderful location, plenty of room for our family of 5, super comfortable beds, had aircon, good sized kitchen, 2 bathrooms and showers!

Small upstairs lounge on the landing.
Heat pumps in most rooms was great. Having complementary toiletries was a bonus. Short walk to a lovely beach and restaurants. The extra outside decks were fantastic, one covered and one open up stairs New kitchen was great..

having 8 people stay you could never have everyone enjoy the living space together at once unfortunately as there’s only one 3 seater lounge and it’s upstairs. a full length mirror would be beneficial somewhere as would some mirrors in the bedrooms to do make up as there was no bench space for this in the bathroom. Inside of house would benefit from a thorough clean as most walls were dirty of marked. no air con remotes worked and the smoke alarm kept going off in the middle of the night so presume a number of batteries need replacing.
Off street parking was handy and walking distance to beach plus playground was nice. Full laundry with washer and dryer was helpful. Dining table that could fit us all at once (8ppl) was good. yard space was good for kids to play in. close to car ferry departure point for Waiheke Island.

The bed in one of the bedrooms was a bit squeaky,but other than that all was fine.
Very spacious home, big enough for 6 adults. Kitchen was well equipped, all the basics you would need were there. And there was a small area up stairs with a TV to sit back and relax. The bedrooms were good size as well.

They only supply one towel per person, although there is a washing machine and dryer, it's always nice to have back ups.
Nice sunny spot, walking distance from beautiful Eastern Beach. Very clean, the beds were super comfortable. It has everything you need in the kitchen. Lots of room, games and books. I highly recommend this beautiful home.

The toilet exploded on us in the early hours of the morning, let the owners know and couldn't get it fixed within 24hrs of letting them know... the other toilet we had to turn the water off to it as it kept running all the time. Mould on the ceilings and just not clean (loads of dust, spider webs and weeds on steps into the house. Needs a lot of TLC... then it could be a great place.
Great news restaurant around the corner, Golden Sands.... nice walk to Half Moon Bay... Comfortable beds...

The apartment didn’t quite live up to our expectations, especially given its high rating of 9 on Booking.com and the price. While the basic cleaning was done okay, the place really needs some renovation and care to match the photos online. There were several small issues: • Black spots from moisture were visible on the ceiling and around the fan in the bathroom. • The blind was rusting, and the showerhead arm was damaged, with the holder unable to secure it properly. • One of the downstairs bedrooms was very dark due to a small, obscured window. The old doors sometimes opened by themselves due to the wind unless locked, and we had to wedge paper in the door to keep it closed. • The pans were severely damaged, so we bought a new one for our stay and left it at the apartment. • The toilet rooms were very small, and the doors opened inward, making it a bit of a “twister game” to get out. Overall, the apartment was satisfactory, and these issues didn’t ruin our stay—we still had a great time. However, it didn’t meet the high expectations we had based on the listing.
The location is great—right next to a beautiful beach on a quiet street, and only about a 25–30 minute drive from Auckland city center. Plus, there’s free private parking, and we had no trouble fitting two cars inside.
