How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe property is beautifully situated and appointed, no expense has been spared to deck it out in full glamping luxury. It boasted a beautiful view out across the bay and all the major amenities and smaller touches were perfectly on point. The eggs provided were delicious and we enjoyed cooking on the BBQ. The shower and baths had plenty of hot water and great pressure, so we enjoyed several long bathing sessions. The decor is modern and cosy, with plenty of coffee table books to keep us occupied. We enjoyed meeting the owner and had a good chat with Drew, who was very welcoming and helpful. Comms with Jana ahead of our stay were great too. It was the perfect spot for our baby-moon and a real treat. Best accommodation I've ever stayed in Golden Bay, would stay again in a heartbeat for our next special occasion and highly recommend to friends and family.

Verified reviewThis is a perfect location for a romantic getaway. Everything has been thought of, and the quality of the accommodation is exceptional. It is both comfortable and luxurious, whilst being in the heart of nature. With beautiful views of Golden Bay and endless birdsong, we loved our stay in Tent Korimako from the moment we arrived. We spent NYE here and had the benefit of our privacy and comfort with the atmosphere of the revellers in the town below. We were provided with food for breakfast, homemade bath salts to enjoy the outdoor tubs, and plenty of firewood for the fire pit outdoors and in indoor log burner, ensuring cosiness whatever the weather. There was even a bespoke guide for guests with recommendations for local walks and restaurants. We couldn't recommend staying here more highly, and if we are ever in New Zealand again, we would love to come back!
We had to leave!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us here at Drift Off Grid.

Verified reviewIncredible and unique experience. From the self drive buggy up the hill, to the mind blowing views in every direction. Absolutely unforgettable stay and we wished we'd had longer! Beautiful and luxurious amenities and facilities. Great access to surrounding natural beauty, including the best walk we did on our new Zealand trip. Friendly and responsive hosts! 10/10 don't hesitate!
Was the priciest of our accommodations over our 3 weeks but without doubt worth the money, so not a complaint just an observation. We had a car and were happy to bbq for ourselves also but if you don't and aren't then food/restaurant choices are scarce, again not a complaint but just worth noting.
So glad you had a wonderful stay! So happy to hear such a wonderful review.

Verified reviewThis is a very unique place to stay in the beautiful area of Golden Bay. A lushly decked out tent with all of the luxuries of a hotel, with a stunning view over the coast to the Bay. Easy drive to explore the beaches of the area and also the national park. Very private. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewRelaxing, Modern with a glamping twist. Beautiful views of the ocean from your front porch. The little details the host have put into this place puts an amazing touch. The breakfast provided was a delight with fresh eggs and bread. Lovely bath salts provided for that nice evening bath to capture the sunset. And the buggy’s were such fun to be able to take them to the beach. Honestly this place is just paradise.
I have nothing to comment on in this section.
So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for your lovely review.

Verified reviewThis is glamping at its best! The tent is so tastefully furnished by the owners, modern yet cosy with all high quality materials. The bathroom is fantastic with double shower, floor heating and white fluffy towels and bathrobes. And then the view, breathtakingly stunning! After a long day of hiking or canoeing you can take a bath next to each other wiith or without a sunset drink. Very special. For the road up the hill there are buggies for guests to use and as these are registered for the public road also possible to take them for a fun ride to the beach. No need to go out for dinner, as there is a Weber grill for outside cooking. For breakfast the fridge was filled with lots of goodies. Definitely a place to come back to and the access to the more quiet part of Abel Tasman NP is only a 15 minute drive away.

Verified reviewEvery single detail was considered, which made for a perfect stay. We loved the baths, the golf buggy and the incredibly comfortable bed the most! An absolutely incredible place in an amazing location.
Consider bringing air plugs if you are a light sleeper as you are right in the bush and there are a lot of birds in the morning plus the occasional possum in the night :)
Thanks so much for your amazing review Staci! So glad you had a wonderful stay! We have ear plugs in the top draw in the bathrooms :)
