Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

New ZealandVery convenient location, walking distance 5-10 min from shop, café, The Irish pub, which for Great barrier is a big "+". Clean and peaceful place, fast and professional responses from the owner Fiona, on all my questions before going. She did organize for us a rent car, as well. If you need a place to fully recharge, this is the one.

New ZealandOur accommodation was obviously a section separated from a larger house. We awoke to clinking on crockery and murmering nextdoor and felt we had to be conscious of not disturbing neighbors in the evenings.
It was very peaceful and quiet. Fiona was friendly and had lots of information for us. Friendly farm animals and plentiful bird life.

New ZealandI would have loved it if plunger coffee was supplied, rather than the given instant coffee.
This is a lovely accommodation option, based just a few minutes from the little town of Stonewall. We chose to use our host, Fiona, to book both our flights to and from the island as well as our rental car, and both worked out perfectly (especially when our flight times were changed and she able to let us know immediately). The wifi at the premises was intermittent, but that is par for the course for Great Barrier Island. We utilized the unit kitchen for all our breakfasts, and found it to be well-equipped. Would recommend this accommodation option as a good base to stay when visiting GBI.

United KingdomMyself and my partner stayed here after doing the Aotea track tramping so it was great to rest up after 2 days of being out in the rain. Perfect location within walking distance of the local supermarket. The owners Fiona and her husband were incredibly accommodating as we arrived a little earlier than our check-in time and were able to get us checked in earlier after waiting for a short time and provided us with a hot cup of tea (the best thing after walking in the pouring rain) so was great to stay here - highly recommend

Very good facilities and comfortable. The unit was very roomy, quiet and in superb surroundings. Flights of tui and kaka provided some nice natural entertainment for us. Guests are encouraged be environmentally conscious with disposal of rubbish in keeping with the whole philosophy of the island. Altogether a lovely place to stay.
