How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Kitchen crockery - no side plates No chopping board No plunger (had to use room 22 plunger) Severe condensation on front windows leaked onto front door frames & onto floor TV option via satelite only worked the first night Noone to contact that night to get TV working - text reply received the next day after we had checked out Noise from adjoining unit - walls seem thin Creepy noose-tied electrical cords hanging from empty shed/building adjacent to our block
Bed was super-comfy. Duvet was perfectly warm. Water pressure & temperature were excellent Heat pump was most effective Shower soap & hand soaps were good Parking directly in front of unit was great Coffee for plunger was excellent (even if use by date had been blacked out) Udderly milk was wonderful Number of towels & face cloths was generous Nice loo paper

Not a big negative thing but there were no mugs for hot drinks, only small tea cups, smaller than 250mls. And there were no complimentary hot chocolate packets, only coffee and tea. So if you're a hot drinker, bring your own mug and hot chocolate.
Overall it was a really wonderful stay. Quiet and peaceful. The room has been beautifully done and the bathroom was lovely. Very tidy, clean and private.

Hard to find fault. Being really picky but the entrance way signs could do with some lighting as it's hard to find the place at night as it's a rural highway. In room the only fault is having a cuppa tea the cups are tiny!!
Exceptionally well presented and clean. Super quiet on a massive estate. This place is huge grounds.

The restaurant was not opened for any meals on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
The facilities were beautiful. Lovely and comfortable. The scenery was serene, just what is needed after a hard day of visiting a work site.

We recently stayed at Tatum, and it was perfect for our needs. The location was super convenient for our event, making everything stress-free. The price was reasonable, especially considering the new, modern amenities. Plus, the beautiful surroundings added such a relaxing vibe to our stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort and convenience!

A microwave, detergent and more cups or brushes etc to wash the ones we had would have been good.
Restaurant closed so would have loved the convenience of that. Very clean, and modern. Love the decore. Very comfortable beds. Quiet location, beautiful setting. Private.

Windows, I just wished there was more than one window so that we didn’t have to use the aircon because I get sick from it. Also would have liked if the toilet area was slightly bigger because when you sit on the seat the heater hand railing is up against you.
Very clean and the comfiest beds. The whole room was perfect for us.

No one in reception when we arrived at about 4pm, and we had to wait in the cold for half an hour until we got a room then that was cold (august) as no one had prepared the room. The chef in the restaurant tried very hard to help us but couldn't, he was lovely. Then the restaurant was closed while we were there and we found really no where decent to eat in Levin.
Clean, tidy ,quiet except for the train track down the back where we were. Bed was comfy
