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.).

AustraliaThere were limited kitchen utensils and pots, and no condiments, would be great if they have at least some condiments (eg. Salt, pepper, oil) on site. The games room was not very well maintained.
It was quiet and comfortable, staff is friendly. The mini golf was a hit and the access to swimming pool seems great too (but it was too cold when we went so we cannot comment)

United KingdomMy only complaint is that in spite of repeated attempts, I was unable to connect to the free WiFi, I suspect because there are not enough portals for everyone staying at this large and busy holiday park, even children have devices these days. I am glad I only had a short stay as connecting with family 12,000 miles away could have proved expensive!
The lodge itself exceeded my expectations, it was a beautiful chalet with a veranda, compact yet spacious and with everything you would need for a self catering holiday, very clean and modern with air conditioning making it a relief to enter in extreme hot weather. I really enjoyed my short stay. It felt safe for a single traveller and gated access with a code meant I could come and go out of hours. The lodge had dedicated parking right outside. Would definitely stay again if I could have the same lodge, I loved it!

AustraliaWe were there for one night. Busy and only really slept at the park. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool, mini golf etc. so nothing really comes to mind. Maybe a new frypan? Nice clean accomodation for the five of us, on a busy weekend.

IrelandWe were quite disappointed that the Wi-Fi wasn't working. While we are away from home (Ireland) our main method of contacting people is via Wi-Fi connection, especially for my daughter. We also discovered that the air conditioning unit would not work for us. It was cold on arrival on Thursday night and we could have done with a bit of heat. It was fine on Friday night, as we didn't need it. We didn't complain at the time as it wasn't a huge issue, but it may need to be looked at as Winter is coming.
Great location, well laid out and equipped cabin, which was perfect for our needs. Very close to where we wanted to go i.e. to Sovereign Hill. Very comfortable cabin with plenty of space.

AustraliaI think the room photos on booking.com didn’t match the actual room we were given. While it was clean and fine for our short stay, I was a little disappointed that the “cottage” I thought I had booked didn’t match my expectations. That being said the staff were so great with communication.
