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 KingdomThe only slight issue we had was that the bed in the executive pod wasn't quite big enough for my 6ft4 husband and myself so its worth knowing for anyone else who is tall. Having said this, it wouldn't put us off booking again.
Such a stunning and peaceful location. Our hosts were amazing and even went the extra mile to get us a bag of ice. The pod was delightful and exceptionally clean. The wood fired hot tub was amazing after walking all day. We would most definitely stay here again.

United KingdomI can't think of anything we didn't like
If you are looking for some peace and relaxation this is the place to find it. This pod is very special with spectacular views, dark skies (we were amazed at the stars!) and is tastefully decorated with a very comfy bed and sofa. It has been created with a focus upon getting away from the busyness and noise of every day life and the silence is just wonderful. We will definitely be back sometime soon, it's the perfect way to connect with nature and completely switch off.

United KingdomBed was a little small but giving the size of the pods it’s understandable, I’m average size and was perfect for me but if you’re tall it wouldn’t be ideal. Bed was extremely comfy though!
It was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Owner was spot on, very prompt with everything and very friendly too. Gorgeous location for all year round. Just everything was perfect, couldn’t have asked for more.

United KingdomNothing!! It was packed with tea and coffee, plates etc and had information booklet in the pod.
Everything! The location was beautiful, the hosts Neil and Sue were friendly and welcoming. Neil helped carry our things over to the pod and had the hot tub ready for us. The pod was a lot more spacious that we thought and it was super cosy. The bed was very soft, we slept really well despite the strong winds. We loved everything about the pod and wish we could have stayed longer. The farm animals were so much fun to watch, especially with the little lambs. Definitely recommend this place!!
