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 StatesThere is no place to prepare food.
You know, it's like camping, but without all the hassle of packing all that gear. The bed was comfy, but I'd suggest bringing an extra blanket 'cause the one they provide is a bit thin. The bathrooms were clean, and the camp host is right there if you need anything.

The location is great! Very relaxing as you can hear the sound of the river. I feel refreshed and this is something I always wanna do to reload good energy from nature.

United StatesThe place to stay was advertised on Booking.com as a "villa" - turned out to be a hard frame tent. I am not fluent in camping language but, gee, villa is definitely a misleading overstatement. I received 4 multi page emails with all but essential information! I would have appreciated ONE and ONE ONLY email that would feature the camping map (not a link, but an actual map!), a WiFi password, and a clear statement that there is no cell reception on the site. All those links in those emails are useless when there is no connection for miles around! It was near impossible to find the place at night despite GPS brought me right there - the only thing from the camping that is visible from the road is the cattle kraal-style gates that are closed at night. The camping sign IS NOT VISIBLE at all. IDK why the visibility issue is not obvious to the staff.
The place definitely got a potential.

United States*There was no nearby grocery or convenience store, but there is a delicious 🍔 place nearby!! Don't try the local one. Try the farther one. It is absolutely delicious! *People decide to turn up the 🎶 and ruin the peaceful moment 🙄. Next time, I need to make sure I read the fine print - there was no electricity on my cabin. I had no lights the entire time or the ability to charge my phone. I found one outlet in the seating area and charged my laptop and 📱 there. I also charged my phone when driving. I didn't know I could 🍳 there! Next time, I'm bringing my kit and using the fire pit and my little dining area! 🚿 and 🚻 are shared and are located in nearby cabins. Parking is on the other side. You can park in the first time, drop off your stuff, and then park across the street. The distance wasn't an issue, but the severely uneven ground was the issue.
Cleanliness, view, comfort, serenity, location, access to river, just about everything really! Hiking trails nearby are a must-do!! The view from the cabin is breathtaking.

United StatesThe place looks like it can use some TLC. I understand it's been raining, but the place in general needs a bit cleaning. It also looked like they're making new tents and they're stuck halfway.
the location was great, next to the river. I loved that we had our own firepit and also liked the views. I want to return in the spring, hopefully.

United StatesToo hot. 95 degrees in late July, no fans were provided for the tent/cabin. Parking is a bit far, especially when you need to walk in such heat. I wish it had drinkable water and coffee in the morning.
Clean sheets, comfy bed, wonderful outdoor showers. River nearby was not icy mountain water and was very pleasant to lay down in it to cool off, beautiful night sky, grocery store and restaurants 15 min driving distance.

United StatesParking was inconvenient located across the road from the camp facility. There is an area to load/unload cars & a few carts are available for guests to use. Staff is one person who is not always available. It was hard to find my spot at arrival or know the protocol of checking etc. Few rules with some guests being allowed to have dogs off leash. For the price, I expected a bit less rustic.
The location is amazing located on the Kern River. The tent/cabin was nice, clean, and offered the minimum amenities. Dog friendly too. I'm not sure why there was a pet fee. Good spot if you were spending your time in the area. Would recommend for a quiet retreat.
