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 KingdomWould have been better if there was a filter coffee machine provided rather than a kettle and a caffettiere. A very minor point but worth considering given the standard of accommodation was very high and the rest of the equipment provided was excellent and the relative cost of a filter coffee machine.
The standard of accomodati was very high

United KingdomMy only tiny comment to make is the lodge is for 8 people however when dining only 6 champagne flutes and 6 wine glasses so 2 of the party were odd when drinking champagne and wine
As soon as walked through the front door, it had the wow factor.

United KingdomThe only thing I would request would be for the upstairs windows to have blinds on the top sections as light came through.
We have just returned from a 2/3 night stay at the maple lodge celebrating our friends birthday! the lodge and grounds are fantastic with 4 beautiful double rooms, one with a free standing bath in the en suite! the downstairs is perfect layout for entertaining and the grounds are great for dogs. the hot tub was also superb and was cleaned in the morning ready for the day ahead! also close to amenities as I popped out to the shop for some supplies, there is also several take aways that deliver to you. the owners were super helpful and answered any questions we had, even dropped off some more toilet roll for us! 😊

United KingdomThe check-in is quite late and check-out is quite early. With the price of each villa per night it would have been nicer to be able to have more time at the lodges considering our journey was 6hrs each way. Early check-in/out is an additional £20 p/h but you are not able to check-in before 3pm.
The lodges were absolutely beautiful, all the rooms were spacious, the location was beautiful. I was worried that we'd be stuck for necessities but we were provided with local taxis and grocery shops.

Incredible stay. The setting of the lodges are truly stunning and the lodge itself matches it's beautiful surroundings. Everything was immaculate and well thought out. The views from the on suite bathroom provide the perfect place for a bath, whilst the outdoor hot tub is an added luxury. I can't wait to return!

CanadaUpon check in we were checked in by the host who I believe could have shown us around by taking her time more. She was literally in there with us for less than a minute which resulted in us having to call numerous times with questions which we had in regards to the lodge. The hot tub jets weren’t functioning properly which was extremely annoying. Also the cleanliness of the lodge wasn’t that great alongside that some Of the dishes in the kitchen were dirty too. The lodge was also missing a hair dryer which I found surprising. Candles were provided too but there was no lighter or match sticks to light them with.
The overall design of the lodge was really beautiful. For example the entire lodge had stunning lighting & it was also really spacious too.
