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):
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.).

FinlandThe apartment wasn't totally clean when we arrived but the owner quickly came to fix it for us. When we filled the tub with hot water there was no hot water left for showering.
The room was nicely decorated and the lounge chairs were extremely comfy. Nice bath products available. The owner was very friendly and helpful. But the best thing was the amazing ocean view, it was incredible!

AustraliaAdditional cutlery would be useful. The king size bed had a bit of a hump in the middle. Kitchen/living decor a bit tired in places but everything was functional.
Amazing views and fantastic location not far from Nugget Point. Easy check in. Helpful to have a basic kitchenette for simple meals. Large studio room. Underfloor heating in the bathroom and spa bath were a special treat.

New ZealandPulling out of the driveway very dangerous - really needs a mirror so you can see what’s coming around the corner. Some minor cosmetic touch ups need to be completed.
Fantastic location with an amazing outlook over two bays and views out to Nugget Point lighthouse. Very relaxing.

AustraliaThe views!! Our room looked south and we revelled each morning in throwing the curtains open to watch the beach come to life. The room is bright, cozy, clean and bed super comfortable. Stayed for a week and did day trips - were calling it ‘home’ each day as our sanctuary to wind down.

United KingdomThe property was plenty big enough for my requirements and it was spotless upon arrival. The hosts were communicating thoroughly up to and during the stay in providing updates concerning the booking. It’s located centrally within Kaka Point, and is a short walk into the centre or a short drive to Molyneux Bay. It’s also located about 10/15mins from Nugget Point Lighthouse - and is about 20mins from Balclutha, or the same to Owaka and so if you’re intending to do the Southern Scenic Route I would recommend this accommodation. I would definitely stay again at this property!

New ZealandWe were here for 3 nights, and on the second night there was a bit of noise from the people in the next unit (music with bass coming through the wall). Thankfully it didn't go all night, but it was a bit annoying. Not the host's fault though!
Excellent location with great views over the sea, and the local cafe/restaurant just down the road. Excellent bathroom, comfy beds, and the room had everything we needed.
