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.).

United KingdomThe hot tub needed a veranda as when it rained, we couldn’t use it. The hot tub also had 3 of the head rests missing so these could do with replacing. It would be ideal to have the hot tub leading out from French doors so you can just get back inside quickly- but this wasn’t a major issue as we just took towels with us! The bed in the main bedroom needed to be a king size really as it was small for 2 adults and not what we are used to. The property was quite clean but we did notice some dog hairs/ dust etc on the floor/ skirting boards which we just wiped down. Some of the towels/ bedding did have a dog smell but some of the others felt clean and smelt fresh. There wasn’t a bar on site within what we felt was a reasonable walking distance… but that was more the site rather than the property.
The property was in a brilliant location with a nice kids park and nice grounds to walk/ cycle round in. There was easy access to the A1, the beach, restaurants, a supermarket and the local towns. There was lots to see and explore! The property had a nice big hot tub. The inside of the property was modern and had good amenities/ facilities that worked. The free standing bath was a real treat. The fact that towels were provided was helpful! Loved the fire and the big tele- which included Netflix. The sofas were comfy and blankets for outside were provided which was a nice touch. Basics such as toilet rolls, hand soap, foil, coffee, cleaning supplies were provided which was handy as you don’t always want to buy loads of stuff for a few nights stay. Beds were comfy. The property felt homely and inviting.

United KingdomFloors hadn’t been cleaned, oven wasn’t the best. Beds weren’t very comfortable but think that’s because we’re use to a super king size
Hot tub was amazing, kids absolutely loved it. Bathroom was gorgeous. Lovely cosy feel to the lodge.

United KingdomOnly a very minor thig was there was no pizza tray for the oven.
Located in a lovely quiet caravan park, the hot tub was excellent and the lodge was spacious and comfortable. The host Lauren was incredibly helpful and friendly. I liked that we got a second set of fresh towels midweek and wine and chocolates because one of the fridge shelves had broken. The site provides easy access to many areas of Northumberland.

United KingdomThe only thing we could fault was the oven, the door wouldn’t close so we had to put the bin against it, it kept going out so had to re-light it and it took ages to cook anything & one of the hobs were also broke, however this didn’t ruin our stay at all and I’m sure would be easily fixable.
The lodge was absolutely stunning, immaculate and everything we hoped for. Lauren was kind enough to put out some balloons and banners for my little girl which made arrival so much more special. Very relaxing, bathroom was beautiful also! we couldn’t have wished for a better stay.

United KingdomWhen arrived we noticed cob webs all over, and dust around on lights and furniture etc. The floor was dirty, you couldn’t walk around without any socks on or slippers, there was dog hair everywhere. The floors need a good sweep and mop. The blinds in both bathrooms were dirty too and had stains all over, the vent in the bathroom was dusty. Oven wasn’t very powerful and took longer to cook things, the door was hard to shut too. The top drawer in the freezer, wasn’t opening due to being so icy, the freezer needed defrosting. The decking outside was really unsturdy leading up to the front door, and especially outside it was dipped and seemed unsafe to walk. Regardless we still had a lovely time :)
Good location, and cosy. Beds were comfy and the central heating was lovely especially in winter. Quiet little site which is good, The Hot tub was a bonus!
