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 ZealandEnsuite facilities would be nice. But I assume the building is listed and couldn't be altered. But that's just me being picky. No complaints really.

Excellent well-equipped hostel with good self catering kitchen and a great location opposite the beach. Friendly owners and dog! Good base for visiting Cape Reinga.

AustraliaSome residents were inconsiderate and noisy in evening but quietened down after 10pm. We had an early rise so wanted an early sleep. . Otherwise our stay was excellent. Can't help inconsiderate patrons 😕
Location was excellent, facilities were very clean and bed was comfortable. No complaints at all with accommodation.

New ZealandWished there was some entertainment like a t.v to watch some movies or board games/books. The stairs that lead you to the bedrooms is rather narrow and steep, not suitable for someone pregnant
The lodge was very comfortable and warm with beautiful wood throughout the building absolutely stunning place, so nice. This lodge would be a perfect place to have a family gathering or friends, theres a sheltered outdoor area with a large table, lights and a pizza oven. We had a great view of the beach from our bedroom and a really cozy bed. When we arrived we were greeted with a friendly smile and great hosts

New ZealandI loved everything. Some may find the stairs a challenge. Being a big old wooden creaky house, sound travels which might take some adjustment for those not used to it. It is all part of the character of the place.
This is a lovely 2 story Victorian villa right on the beach. The rooms are well-appointed and spacious. A great place to stay and relax, or use it as a home base for exploring the northern tip of the country. The shared kitchen was well equipped and all the facilities were beautifully clean. The hosts live in-house in their own apartment and were really helpful with tips on what to do in the area.
