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...).

Our one-night stay at the Victorian house in Mt Eden, Auckland, was very pleasant. We appreciated the comfortable accommodation and excellent location. The house's classical figures and overall ambiance provided a unique and enjoyable setting.

New ZealandBeing June, the house being 115yrs old is cold without heating. The kitchen we didn’t stay loo long. Bedrooms were fine once the heating kicked in. The TV signal in our room was weak. We did struggle to make contact by mobile phone.
The price (mid-winter special) was amazing value. Central location, quiet, fab rooms (we had a king with ensuite), shared kitchen with full facilities, laundry. Great for several nights. Space to store food. Like being at home!

New ZealandWas quite late before everyone stopped moving around so I couldnt sleep. The toilet and shower room being away from the room wasnt ideal for going during the night. I woke up around 3 and needed the toilet and when I came out of my room there was a man and woman in the corridor outside my room. I was unsettled after that. Didnt manage to go back to sleep
The room was nice and spacious. Had plenty of places for clothes ( wardrobe & drawers ) Very clean

GermanyThe description of the room and the featured amenities weren’t quite accurate. For example the kitchen and the washing machine is even for the kings suite shared with the rest of the house. That wasn’t mentioned in the description. Also we were a bit confused because the owner told us that using the washing machine comes with a fee which wasn’t even hinted in the description of the accommodation. Also it was a bit noisy, because you could hear all the footsteps of the passing other guests in the hallway next to our room.
Very nice house, well equipped. Very comfortable bed! Nice surroundings (garden, terrace etc).

New ZealandKing bed was very firm. The wooden floors were very noticeable when others were walking around the house, perhaps a carpet runner down the main hallway would minimise that.

New ZealandMy room did not have external opening windows and opened to an enclosed porch that also was passage way. Some interior maintenance around the bathrooms eg replacing the toilet roll holder and having place to hang towels in one of them would be awesome. I personally didn't like having to mix milk powder rather than fresh milk. . Perhaps some long life sachets in the rooms could be provided if fresh milk is not available.
Villma and Elmer were very friendly and hospitable . The interior design, artwork and furnishings were surperb. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were good . It was nice to have a shared out door seating and eating space. I would love to come back.

New ZealandWe stayed in the two singles bed room, the beds were bunks separated and unfortunately not really built for tall people, hubby slept on an angle. The other annoying thing was lack of toilet paper in bathrooms. I finally found a bathroom with toilet paper in third bathroom.
Beautiful decor, clean and well presented. Location was perfect for what we were travelling for. Host was amazing. We had two rooms due to four of us traveling. One was lovely, the other not as comfortable.
