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 KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like about this place, we'd 100% recommend.
This is a wonderful little pod to stay in if you want to unwind, relax and get take in some gorgeous Welsh countryside. Menna is a lovely host, emailing ahead of time with the correct location pin, and was helpful in answering my questions. The pod itself was lovely, very cosy and had just the right amount of stuff you need there to have a good few days stay. The hot tub was ready for us when we arrived. The location is just amazing, very quiet and private which was exactly what we were after. We were in the area to visit the Mach Loop where military planes do low level flying training, which was a first for the host!

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like about the property.
What my wife and I liked the most was the no signal, this gave us an eye opener of how much we was using our phones. This gave us some really quality time together and a behaviour change on putting our phones away and enjoying every minute we can. Perfect get away. The Pod itself was perfect and very well maintained. Lovely owners. Will definitely be coming again.

United KingdomSofa bed wasn’t the most comfortable, no proper bed sheets for it that we could see. No signal (unless you’re on EE) and no wifi but nice to switch off for a couple days.
Beautiful location, host was really lovely and helped us with the hot tub, very clean, private and a lovely place to relax and unwind for a couple days! The cons are below but did not effect the overall experience as it’s a really lovely place to stay!

Amazing stay! The pod was very cosy with everything you may need for a short stay. Our car made it up the hill to park right outside. Hot tub was preheated by the host to our surprise. She was very responsive, answered my emails straight away during our stay. If you’re looking for a fabulous location to unwind look no further. I’d suggest hiking Dol Idris nearby, stunning views!

United KingdomNO SIGNAL! This is stated in the description but I’ve noticed in some reviews that people were still surprised so maybe they’ll take notice of this review :)
Where do I begin! The pod was beautiful and spotless and Menna was an absolute diamond. I was later arriving than I had originally planned so Menna got the hot tub fire started so it was hot when I arrived. She also let me borrow her phone to message my mum to let her know I had arrived. Due to adverse weather conditions (snow!) the next morning, the house pipes had frozen so Menna ran a gallon bottle of water down to the pod without me asking, however, the pod pipes hadn’t frozen and were working perfectly. The next day there was more snow so Menna came to the pod in the morning (during heavy snow fall) to apologise (not her fault of course) and made sure I had enough food in as the roads weren’t exactly drive-able unless you had a 4x4 due to the ice and snow. This had me concerned for my departure the next day but I was reassured that there wasn’t anyone in the pod the next day so I could wait until about midday to see if the ice would melt a bit with the sun. Menna also reassured me that her and her partner had a 4x4 so if I had any difficulties they would be there to help me. Once again, I cannot recommend this place enough, the host was amazing and the scenery is beautiful. Even during all the snow and ice, the pod was so warm thanks to the heater. I even had to turn it down at one point! I was also provided with an extra blanket on arrival and everything from the gas to the electric worked perfectly. I’ve attached some photos from my walks. I’m sure there’s some bits that I’ve missed, but like I’ve said a few times, I cannot recommend this place and the host enough 10/10 <3

Menna came to welcome us on arrival and make sure everything was ok and explained how to use the hottub which was very easy. We had some car troubles and the hosts came straight down to help us. I would definitely return and recommend to anyone.
