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.).

SloveniaFantastic experience. I love the idea of woodland pods. The owners are excellent. So professional and friendly. They help you enjoy and plan your trip. You will get the book with all nearby attractions. Also with contacts and qr codes. Internet speed is superb. If you love nature this is the best place to stay. Here you can watch birds, orange squirrels and also two lovely cats.

AustraliaEverything was great!
The location was stunning, beautiful green surrounds and plenty of wildlife. We especially loved seeing the cats when they came around. The pod itself had everything you could need, it was very well built and designed. Bed was extremely comfortable also! Martin & Kirsty were some of the best hosts we have had. Incredibly friendly and Martin gave really good advice on places to go in the area and also when to get to some tourist destinations in order to beat the crowd.

United KingdomLiterally nothing. Everything was amazing and so relaxing.
I honestly can't say enough good things about this property or Martin & Kirsty. The pod was beautiful, much bigger than I expected, and had everything in it you could need. The location was so beautiful, and sitting out on the decking watching the bird feeder with my breakfast was a total highlight. Easy walk into the village for amazing shops and great places to eat. The weather was definitely on our side as well. Will definitely be back!

United KingdomTheir were no issues, nor things I didn't like. Google maps needs to show the right turn just before you hit a farm. So literally their is a right turn just after you pass by Balmacaan Rd the road goes to a dirt road. then go to the end of the road and turn left before you hit a hill, as you drive along you will see a house go just slightlypast it and its on the left,, hope that helps
The peaceful area is a perfect getaway, and the pod is very comfy n cosy. I only met Martin, and he was very helpful with the area and where the nice walks were with maps he sent over.
