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 KingdomI think for the price I’d expect some added touches. Only 1 hand towel to share, no shower gel or basic shampoo, no milk, and the pillows were lumpy and very uncomfortable. I think when you’re paying £200 p/b it’s up there with some very fancy hotels and these little things don’t make it worth the price.
I love the aesthetic, it’s very cosy inside. Really clean and very spacious. Love the outdoor space!

United KingdomMaybe an extra tea towel would be helpful as it takes a while to try but grasping at straws there! The map for the fairy trail also was a bit tricky to follow
This was our second time here and we stayed in the pod for 2 with a bath - it’s so well thought out and the decor is really beautiful. Great location with a short distance to a lot of local areas/attractions which the host had spent a lot of time highlighting in the handy information book. There is also some walks around the farm which was good for us with our reactive dog as it was a lot quieter than many of the local areas & beaches

United KingdomOnly suggestion I have is that you might want to consider adding a few standalone toilets, the 3 full bathrooms are lovely but wonder if they could get a bit busy in peak periods? Bell tent 4 might need a guy tensioning at the back as was a bit saggy in the wind last night but really all great only typing this extra bit so that it lets me submit the review!
Lovely location, very easy to get to Alnwick (main purpose of our visit this time) but also to lovely beaches just 5 mins away. Katryna and her kids were lovely and very friendly when we met them. The check in procedure was straightforward as she told us in advance which bell tent we would be in and we just parked up outside that. This is a small friendly site with really excellent bathroom facilities for families since it is essentially a full bathroom that you can all fit in to shower etc. Everything was clean, tidy and well labelled. The Bell tents themselves were spacious with a futon style mattress so comfy with some little night stands and small low table ideal for a game of cards inthe evening. Having a picnic bench and BBQ pit to each tent made cooking and eating very easy.

United KingdomHowever due to the picture used to sell via this site, we were NOT booked for the glamping pod as first thought * BOOKING.COM error NOT Doxford farm. Thankfully Doxford owners went to great lengths (emailed&clarified via telephone) to ensure we understood the actual type of accommodation booked Belltent¬ the picture used here by Booking.com.
The venue (Bell-Tent) staff & onsite facilities were outstanding, as well as the wonderful wild flowers & scenery.

United KingdomExtra lighting in the tent to carry over to the bathrooms when dark. We did have our own so it wasn’t an issue.
Lovely location. It felt quite private outside our bell tent and at the same time there was an area for the kids to socialise with other kids.

It is a fantastic location with everything you need for a relaxing break. The luxury Pod Nightfold was fantastic the best we've ever stayed in. It had everything you could need and more. Comfortable, cosy, well equipped, and incredibly well designed. A special mention for Katryna, who made us feel very welcome over the phone from her hospital bed. True commitment Katryna and we wish you a speedy recovery.
