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.).

Maybe one or two additional path lights (for night time) would make this property excellent!

Verified reviewLocation 10/10. Close enough to Mangawhai town that it’s not a hassle, far enough into the bush to feel relaxed and away from a city environment. The property is stunning with sheep and a waterfall and all the amenities you need. Warm cottage, no TV (which we loved), playing cards provided and the most gorgeous walk in shower. We couldn’t fault it.
Literally nothing. We can’t wait to come back!

Verified reviewWe were so surprised at how amazing this place was! The communal chill out area was an amazing and the rooms were so spacious and comfortable! The bathrooms were so modern and the deck with the swing was perfect to sit outside and watch the birds. So many useful cooking facilities and loved the touch of milk, tea and coffee! Also just a short drive away from town!

Verified reviewBeautiful little cottage perfect to unplug and unwind. The build is new and a perfect size for a couple. Loved the deep veranda, egg chair and huge bed. The rain shower was wonderful too along with the underfloor heating. A short walk through paddocks to a little waterfall was a pleasant way to start the day.
Some basic breakfast provisions would be the icing on the cake.
Thanks for your review, we love getting a 10 it's much appreciated.

Verified reviewA wonderful getaway. Surrounded by nature. Sara was very welcoming.
Perhaps the lounge area seemed a little cramped, not so comfortable.

Verified reviewIncredible location - exactly what you want when escaping Auckland suburbia. But also really close to local shops and restaurants. Cabins are so tastefully decorated and look brand new. Very cosy with underfloor heating. Super comfy bed. Loved waking up to the tranquility and bush views. Will definitely be back.

Thanks we look forward to seeing you again.
