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 KingdomNothing - it was perfect.
The location is stunning, with views down the valley and across the beautiful Dyfi estuary to the hills beyond. Sian gave us a warm welcome - even offered to help us with our bags up from the car (we had parked at the bottom of the hill to avoid some temporary flooding). Everything was as described - clean and everything in working order. A comfy bed too. It was cold and wet the night we arrived so a blow-heater was a welcome luxury. Even a fire-pit and logs are provided - what more could you want??

United KingdomThe fridge could have been a bit bigger for so many sharing it. Wished we had our own washing up area...the other people on the site were brushing their teeth in the shared sink we were to wash the dishes in. Traffic was a little noisy in the night.
Loved the wildlife, the clean and stylish facilities that we didn't have to share! When we requested more wood for the fire it came swiftly. The fairy lights were lovely as were the flowers left in our bathroom.

United KingdomPeople who are sensitive with noise, I suggest to pick up ear plugs for better sleep. We had strong winds and heavy rain every night witch made a big noise in a tent and there was crying baby in a neighbour tent.
Staf was very friendly. I liked the area up on the hill. Every tent has a separate kitchen for basic cooking and separate shower.

United KingdomNeed proper lighting in the kitchen area & bathroom as it can be dangerous during the night.
A lovely setting, quiet & secluded. Bar the first night we had the site to ourselves for the trip. Our 5 year old befriended a cat & that added to a memorable trip. Easy reach of many attractions/activities.

This is a beautiful clamping place! Gorgeous location, beautiful views, nice and quiet. The host Sian was very helpful and welcoming! This is the perfect place for a peaceful break. The shower was hot and powerful and it was great to have our own private bathroom. The kitchen nice and clean. We will definitely come back!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like.
Really lovely camping site with thoughtful extra touches- blankets to keep warm, all the utensils you might need for cooking on the camping stove, marshmallows for roasting on the fire, jars of flowers decorating the toilets and communal washing up area. The tell tents were really cosy and spacious with plenty of room for us and our dog. We arrived sceptical that glamping showers will be substantial enough for a nice shower to feel fresh in the morning but they were some of the nicest showers we’ve used away from home! Sian was brilliant and really helpful, her welcome message included their website which was really clear about what we did and didn’t need to bring for our stay. We messaged asking where she’d recommend for dinner on the night we arrived and weren’t disappointed by her choice at all. Lovely quiet site for a perfect get away. It was raining on the day we arrived but it certainly didn’t dampen our stay. Would recommend to anyone.

We were really impressed with the glamping tents. They were so comfortable, and the little kitchen attached to each one was well equipped. The site was lovely and we had great comms from Sian before we arrived. We have all been glamping before and ended up feeling that things were not quite as we would have liked, but this was spot on. Everything was clean and in good order

United KingdomWould benefit from more hooks in the bathroom so some where to hang clothes while using the shower, and a bigger surface to but toiletries.
The owner Sian was friendly and welcoming. The view was lovely from our tent. The site was easy to find and an easy drive to the beach. There was a nice walk through the fields around the site. The bed was very comfy, the tent was decorated really nicely. As was the kitchen and shower room. The whole site was lovely and clean.The vases of flowers dotted around was a lovely touch. The swings in the trees were fun. The hill from the car to the tent was a good work out.

United KingdomThe private fridge could be a little cooler. Did not see where you could set it colder, and dit not bother asking Sian about it, which should tell you that it was not exactly a major issue.
Very comfortable sleeping. Great location and view. Sian was very friendly and welcoming and happy to help if you needed anything. The deluxe bell tent definitely had more privacy than the other tents, but it is a bit farther away from the communal kitchen sink and it's toilet is further from the tent than the others, but I preferred it above the other tents. The private kitchenette with bar fridge and the essentials to cook with was just what you needed. We will defiantly return.

United KingdomNot sure why the negative comes up first when you post. Please read all of my review as this is a minor thing that I just feel is worth mentioning. We had a great stay here and I would highly recommend it. Each tent has its own bathroom. This is in a block of three. We had the middle bathroom (Tent number 4, which is for adults only, has a separate private bathroom next to their tent)...the bathroom was lovely and I have no complaints other than the door is a wooden shed type door which has some gaps in. They aren't massive gaps, but I could see out of them, so I'm sure if someone was looking, they'd be able to see in. This did make me feel a bit uncomfortable once more campers started arriving as I didn't feel like it was private enough for my liking. I could see when someone walked past to go to their bathroom as I was about to get out of the shower. It's not a complaint as such, like I said the bathroom is very high standard for a camping facility, and it wouldn't put me off visiting again. It's just an observation that could easily be adjusted by adding a bit of extra wood to make it more private. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling a bit uneasy about strangers potentially seeing me in the buff 😆 or maybe not, each to their own.
Had an absolutely lovely weekend with my husband and 8 year old son. Booked very last minute and we were very happy with our choice. This place has everything you need if you like camping but with some extra luxuries. Personal bathroom for your tent and private mini kitchen. There is a shared fridge freezer and wash-up area for your dishes. Proper double bed and a camping bed for the little one. Private decking with a picnic table and a firepit, which could also be used as a barbecue. They provided some wood and firelighters. They did provide toilet roll, but it wasn't there when we first arrived, so take some with you just in case, or I'm sure if you had none and asked, they would get it for you. The family who own it are very friendly. All plates, cups, pans, utensils, kettle are provided. Only things you really need to take are your clothing, some towels, food, and toiletries. This site comprises of 4 bell tents in an elevated area away from the main campsite. This place is great for families and couples alike. Would love the book all 4 tents and come back with friends. But I would equally come back as a family. My son has done nothing but ask if we can come again. Would definitely recommend it 1000%.

The host is super nice and put out some beautiful fresh cut flower in vases in our bathroom and the communal kitchen washing area.

United KingdomOur bed which was a double was fantastic, the kids didnt sleep so well on the camp beds. They are teenagers so maybe a full single bed would have been more comfortable.
Amazing place, everything catered for. For a taste of the outdoors with the little extras that we all need - perfect :) Would definitely return.
