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 StatesNo shower on the grounds. We had gone to the swimming facility that they offer for a hot shower but apparently the hours had changed and we were unable to shower.
Such a unique experience! It was warm with the fire going and the decor is super cute. They had a nice breakfast packed in a cooler for us. We had a couch, a small bed and a king size bed. We had a kettle and a few dishes as well to use. They had a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket in each yurt. The small touches didn’t go unnoticed. It is a a haul up from the car so just take up what you need to the night/morning.

United StatesPerhaps I didn't read the property description clearly, but we didn't understand in advance that we would be sharing a bathroom facility with the other three yurts. So, we juggled a total of like 10 or so people entering and exiting. Wasnt too bad but perhaps I glossed over that detail. The only other note I would share is that we needed more firewood. We ran out and had to scavenge for firewood under the bathroom facilities. Would be great to have access to more.
The yurt was a great experience. The owners communicated clearly about everything and the yurt was so cozy. We appreciated the nice touch of breakfast. Didnt get to make it to the pool but good to know we had that as an option, especially since there are no on site shower facilities.

United KingdomPossibly the steps up to the toilet utility hut could be better. A shower on site also would be good if staying longer than one night. Other than that don't change it. Superb place.
We loved the setting, views and furnishings in our Yurt nos.1. The decorations for my daughter's birthday were a nice touch. Lighting the log burner was fun and my daughter enjoyed relaxing reading on her birthday. Great breakfast too The entry to the swimming pool was also a great bonus also.
