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 KingdomBreakfast, which is included in the cost, started too late at weekends. 8:30 Saturday and 9:00 on Sunday. We ended up eating off site we were in the are for an NEC conference and needed to be on the road long before then.
Great location and lots to do, a lot more than we anticipated. We enjoyed the walk around the lake and the kids loved the paddle boats. Really convenient for the NEC.

United KingdomI would have preferred a shower in the pod. However there is that option if you go a bit larger.
it was a lovely little pod. I chose the one with a toilet and sink in. I didn’t fancy going out in the night. There was a shower room a few yards away that you shared with one other pod. I didn’t use it as I was only there one night. The lady on reception was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also included at the Quicken Tree up to £10. It was superb.

The surroundings were beautiful, and the huts were very cool!

United KingdomThe only issue we had was the shower not heating up.
Absolutely loved every moment of our stay, from the accommodation to the restaurant. Surroundings were beautiful, especially as the snow fell covering the landscape. Kids were able to run and play in the field of snow and the accommodation was close to NEC (driving) for the event we were attending. Restaurant food was lovely and the decor was amazing. Great atmosphere. Everywhere was nice and clean, staff were helpful. Would recommend for a cosy couples night away and for familys.

United KingdomThe pod was cold overnight, stayed mid May. The small plastic fan heater only gave out cool air. There is a kettle in the pod, so you could take a hot water bottle.
Beautiful location, I had a lovely walk around the grounds and forest. Only 15 minutes from NEC which was very convenient for my conference. the on-site restaurant serves top notch food. Breakfast was included.

United KingdomReg is a little bit wonky and the mattress wasn't very comfy, but this didn't take away our enjoyment from our stay.
We have stayed here lots of times and always enjoy our stay. The cabins are all very different. We stayed in the cabin called Reg on a cold, windy night in March. It was very warm and cosy inside the cabin. The staff are all very nice and helpful. The restaurant / bar staff are very friendly and very nice too. Breakfast was included and it was delicious.
