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 KingdomPrivacy felt lacked when we had people coming back and forth to the squash court. We did have someone walk through the gate in the picnic area whilst we were having breakfast and asked how long we were staying. We also could have done with a sink in the accommodation

United KingdomNo coffee for the morning, was dried up old stuff in the pot. The bed was uncomfortable and the springs stuck in my rib cage No internal lock on the door so felt a little unsafe Noise of the large vehicles at 6:30am coming into the storage containers right next to the cabin No signal or wifi at the property The rats running around was concerning as we sat outside
The hot tub was lovely Barbecue was good apart from how much smoke comes out of it (definitely needs a good clean) Seating area nice and spacious Music device great Lighting outside gives a lovely atmosphere at night

United KingdomWe would have liked the toilet/bathroom to have been in the lodge or around it . We would have also liked a water source closer and milk to make hot drinks
We loved the location and scenery , it was very peaceful and we also liked that we were just left unbothered.

United Kingdomcould have more ambient lighting outside in the scenery but thats personal choice, the owner could definitely make great use of the empty lodge type building next to it for larger groups to stay.
so when we arrived we wondered what the hell we had done booking this place, we were in an industrial car park with big metal container warehouses either side of us! There was a little door in the corner that looked like a corridor to be murdered in! We walked down the corridor and it opened up at the back to the lodge and it was like walking out into a different world!! lodge and hot tub in front and gorgeous scenery around, we unfortunately couldnt use the firepit because of bad rain, we had a lovely BBQ and then got in the hot tub! Everything you needed was in the lodge, plates, cutlery, glasses, little fridge, small cooker and i could have sworn i seen a mini air-fryer in the cupboard. It was spotless, and also very cosy, the toilets were 30 steps away and were also very clean! Owner was just on other end of the phone and very helpful!

United KingdomThat there wasn't a lock on the shower room door, Altho I did feel safe. But would of been helpfull to have a sign on the outside to flip over to say it is being used by lodge guest. Also I supplied my own toilet paper
Liked the layout of the lodge inside and out. The hot tub/Jacuzzi was amazing. Will stay again

United KingdomThe lack of information, so a good half hour searching for the place then the facilities.
Lovely secluded lodge. Very hard to find as no name and map on website takes you to the wrong place. Would have been good to have known about the toilet facilities being in the barn opposite with the squash court and bar Was lovely and quirky place to stay but without being told by a squash player who was just leaving we would never have known.

United KingdomThe dog being walked through when we was meant to be staying so they could use the field. A member of public using the squash facility just walking into the area we booked. Dog barking. Toilet facilities being in a separate unit and lighting was poor. The spiders and lack of cleaning facilities in general. No sink to wash up after bbq use. Fridge not cold and small. Bed hard. Coat hangers not stuck on wall. Parking location not specific and quite hard to find. No milk provided for hot drinks. Never really felt like you was alone.
The hot tub was really nice, the location was peaceful. The use of the bbq was good and the pub added and facilities were enjoyable if you like squash. The outside was pretty and well decorated.

United KingdomShared access with whoever is using the Squash Court isn’t ideal. Also the toilet/shower facilities are shared with the squash court which was bizarre and they could have done with a good clean. Big yellow corridor could do with a good clean and the windows need to be privacy glass

United KingdomIt wasnt clean. The shared bathroom is inside a public squash court. You have to access it via the squash court too. It is an overgrown back garden basically, junk everywhere, so unsafe. People can access it at any point, so not a private area. The hot tub was warm at best. No fire wood provided. The BBQ wasn't connected and no information on how to connect it either. Again messages were ignored. No games room as advertised. Patio door was screwed shut. No sink or outdoor tap to wash dishes or obtain drinking water. Heater on the wall doesn't work. It is misrepresented on this site. I have contacted Joe and raised all of my concerns and asked for a refund.
Do not book this place. The host rips you off. It's hard to find because there are no signs, he doesn't send you access instructions and then he ignores your phone calls and messages for ages. The neighbours obviously get disturbed multiple times, because they instantly knew where we were looking for when we stumbled down there driveway after getting lost. I feel very sorry for them.
