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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomMezzanine sleeping area was pretty tight - ok for a child only. Less ornaments would be good to maximise surfaces to place belongings on
Peaceful location, privacy of pod and outside space. Owner was very accommodating in bringing additional bedding. Perfect location for us for visiting family.

United KingdomAs the bed is a sofabed, the mattress wasn't quite up to par with a real bed. Also, the TV turned on at 3am each night - I assume a previous guest must have accidentally set a timer, but it gave me a fright.
Many thoughtful touches, like fire lighters for the fire pit as well as some Scottish treats, and fairy lights on the porch. The Pod was really well laid out, making great use of the space, and the location is gorgeous. The duvet and pillows were very comfortable.

United KingdomA small 2-ring cooker would have been great but in the end we improvised
The pod is rather compact yet it has all what you need, the communication with the manager was excellent and we enjoyed staying next to a field full of horses - all very calming

United KingdomWe're not big fans of "communal" areas, that said, we were lucky we got the fire pit next to pod 4 to ourselves. Next time, I'd prefer to book more than one of the pods, as I don't feel they're separated enough for the privacy I was after. Overall, this didn't hinder our experience - the place is beautiful, clean, and well-equipped, and the host was lovely.
I love how rustic the pods are, just gorgeous. The hospitality was also fantastic, not to mention the views from the pod and the overall location. Everything's outlined very clearly and we had no issues finding the place, checking in, or checking out. If anything, the host was even willing to let us in earlier than the specified times. Very accommodating, friendly, and respectful of guests wanting a contact-free stay. We spent most of our time at the fireplace next to pod 4, we really enjoyed watching the horses, bunnies, and sunsets from here. The horses just a short walk away were also so friendly and were a highlight of our trip.

United KingdomI can not fault anything about this stay
The pod was perfect. It was well stocked with the essentials , the grounds are absolutely beautiful, peaceful surroundings, and lovely to sit outside on the deck with the fire pit lit watching the horses, even the dogs on the grounds are so friendly and would come up to the pod. There is also a pub within walking distance if you want to venture out for food or even a drink.

We had such a wonderful stay, when we arrived the hosts had lit a fire for us and everything was even more lovely than the photos! They’d left us a range of biscuits, and plenty tea/coffee etc The bed was like a hotel with a lovely arranged blanket and chocolates. Everything was so clean and the owners went above and beyond to meet our needs - they even provided a cosy dog bed which our dogs loved!! Gorgeous views of the horses. Fire pit outside. We could go on and on about how great it is!

United KingdomIf I had to suggest something, it would be slightly larger towels and perhaps a hand towel or two. However, that is all I can think of, and it isn't really a didn't like.
We loved it. We enjoyed the peace and tranquillity. The hosts have created something really special, and we felt very lucky to have discovered it. The pod itself was so well thought out. Space was used really creatively. Loved our mornings sat outside as a family, having breakfast and taking in the beautiful scenery. Will definitely come back and stay when visiting our son at Uni.
