Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe cabin was beautiful. Very clean and beds were comfortable. The cabin was close to the woodland walk, which was lovely, and close to the marina. We had. Fantastic views, but unless it was hidden well, was a little disappointing to find that there was no microwave, as taking 2 small grandchildren away this would have been very welcome. The only other pitfall was the use of the Park Dean facilities. We were only visiting for 3 nights and with all the other activities around Windermere, we were only going to use the pool once; however, Park Dean charge £13.50 per person, for family of 4, this is a lot of money for an hour or so in the pool. Park Dean did advise that the cost covered you for the duration of your holiday, which had we been staying for the week or more, or if we had known this before we arrived, we could have purchased the pass as soon as we got there and taken advantage of the pass. Instead, as we had no intention of spending £54.0 for an hour, and as we had promised the children (ages 3 and 6) that we were going swimming, we travelled half an hour to get to another pool. Don't let this put you off staying in this cabin, but just wish I knew what I know now before we booked, at least so we could plan accordingly.

United KingdomGreat host, answered all of our questions we had. Super easy to gain access to the location, set on the beautiful lake Windermere with access to the water so we could paddle board. A cosy home away from home with all the necessities you need provided for you and plenty of activities, hikes and scenery around! Dog friendly our golden retriever loved it too!

The lodge was in a gorgeous location and very well equipped. Clean and tidy and no issues during our stay. The park itself is quiet but we spent the weekend exploring Ambleside and Bowness so this was just what we needed. We’ve already booked to return for my partner and our sons birthday in July 😊

United KingdomThe couch was a little uncomfortable but we had plenty throws and cushions to use. Would have benefitted from a coffee table.
The location was fab at the end of the road close to the woodland walk with a lovely view of the lake. Home from home with quality furnishings and bedding. Felt cosy and extremely well looked after. There was just me and my husband so we had a bathroom each - winner!! Super dog friendly too, bowls, treats and even poo bags.

United KingdomThe sofa was a bit lumpy and went down in the middle. Maybe just us but we missed a side table to place a cup of tea. None of this spoilt our visit at all.
The lodge, view, and location are excellent. After what seems like a lifetime of holiday park breaks - as a child, -before having our children, with children/grandchildren, and since, this is the best accommodation and location we have ever experienced in the U K or Europe. Super lakeside park.

United KingdomUnfortunately the electricity went on the morning of our departure, we informed Anne-Marie of this and she advised she would get it resolved. This did have a bit of an unfortunate negative to the end of our trip as while I appreciate these things happen, we ultimately couldn’t use any of the facilities, we’d planned to have breakfast and a cup of tea in the lodge, of which none worked due to no electricity, myself and my daughter also could not have a shower to ensure we were clean and refreshed before our drive to Surrey and then back to Cornwall. I will be honest in saying I didn’t expect anything as such, but even an offer to pay/reimburse us for a cup of tea which we had to pay for at the onsite restaurant would have been a fabulous professional response but instead we were informed the cleaner/electrician would resolve the issue, at which point felt slightly impersonal as essentially we were leaving and didn’t really need to know that information via text. I completely realise it’s one of those things which no one had any control over, but it did feel a little bit sour that it wasn’t really acknowledged as to the true impact of the situation given we’d planned to have breakfast and a shower, neither of which we could do so felt we hadn’t set off as we had initially hoped. Internet didn’t work on the 2nd day of our stay, it stated that the account holder needed to purchase more data (we did not realise this was the case until the evening, we assumed the internet was down).
Location was beautiful, modern, well equipped for self-catering. Great place to stay with dogs as it was very dog friendly and it was very joyful to walk around the site and relax by the lake.
