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.).

I'd rented a lodge for a one night break for one and it was ideal. Plenty of space for the max of 8. If it was all adults you'd have to draw tickets for room allocation as all so different! Perfect views. Was impressed with the location of the end lodge feeling I was on the edge of a woodland. Very clean, enough cooking pots in kitchen. Sofa comfier than it looks on photos. Perfect view from bed. Liked having decking upstairs and downstairs.

United KingdomBreakfast a shame you had to order fried eggs and a bit dried up .Room needed new wallpaper as all peeling off and paint all worn . Carpet also worn . For over £200 for one night would not stay in a room that needs to be redecorated. We stayed here over eight years ago as we had a wedding there and the rooms have definitely worn now .very disappointed x

United KingdomBreakfast service was very slow. I had to wait a very long time for my eggs to be cooked and the rest of my food was cold when they arrived. To be fair I think they were very short staffed and the poor woman who was waiting on the tables was run ragged trying her best. Very disappointing but hopefully just a temporary situation.
The location is perfect. Room was very comfortable..We enjoyed the spa and pool.

United KingdomWe didn't like a few minor things we found in our lodge. One was a broken wine glass found in the cupboard, a t shirt in the bottom of a wardrobe, a 1 inch nail my son trod on found in a bedroom, and my bedside lamp was not working. I have both emailed and let the team know in person about this, and was advised I would be contacted by a manager, but haven't yet, but not sure what they can do really for us, other than improve things for the next guests, Also, not the hotel's fault, but a suggestion would be to have numbered parking spaces allocated per lodge. We were supposed to have 2 spaces, but were lucky to have found 1 in a separate designated parking bay not next to the lodges (many spaces double parked right outside our lodge).
We liked the lodge location, and the view of the golf course from our balcony. The greens looked appealing to my husband whom is a keen golfer. We also were warmly greeted by the staff that we passed by as we used the facilities. We could not find the hair dryer (it was not where the instructions said it would be). We rang reception using the lodge's phone, and were told where it was (under the stairs), we couldn't find it and the lady on reception brought us the dryer. It was there, but our coats were hiding it. There was a iron and ironing board which is always handy. TV was good, we brought our Apple TV and the wifi was perfect for streaming (no lag). We had brekkie for about £16/£17 per person, and this was alright, service good. We also ate lunch in the clubhouse which was also good. We also used the gym, the pool and spa facilities which were all good also, as were the staff. Overall, my husband enjoyed our stay, which was paramount, as it was to celebrate a milestone birthday. We had booked a meal over at Lympstone Manor and this hotel was a short drive away, and half the cost.

United KingdomThe inside of the main building could do with some updating including the reception area and corridors. A pool table or access to board games would be a great addition as there isn't much to do of an evening
Loved the pool and spa facilities, lovely big sauna and hot tub which meant even when it was busy you were able to get a space. Room freshly decorated.
