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.).

NetherlandsThe big firepit was amazing we made s'mores and ate way to many so we got sick. Great location away from all the busy spots. The sauna even though we never used it looked pretty comfortable. Overall a great place with great hosts who are helpfull with requests. The trampoline is amazing when traveling with kids. Although smaller rooms it's lovely and cozy with a maximum of 7 sleeping spots if needed. Sleeping couch was comfortabel as well.

SwedenIf it's raining for multiple days you may need a plan B, or to be geared up for it. The indoors area is not big enough for a full family to stay indoors for a very long time, but that is to be expected given the information on here.
The location and scenery is breathtaking. The forest is at your doorstep and lake Vänern just a short walk away. If you want a break and to get closer to nature, this is ideal. If the weather doesn't play nice, you are very close to Karlstad. The option to stay in to work or socialize is also a good one, but remember it's not a huge cabin. The 5G mobile coverage is excellent and you can game or stream for days. I can highly recommend this place, unless you really need a bathroom right by the bed. There is kitchen, toilet, shower and sauna in another house approximately 10 meters from the two cabins. The owner is friendly as well.

SlovakiaBathroom/kitchen cabin is about 20m from bedrooms, so at night and rain, it may feel a bit uncomfortable to use it, but we had lovely weather and it was not an issue for us.
If you like quiet and interesting places this is the one to stay in! Nice host, very helpful. We booked both rooms, so kitchen, bathroom with sauna and jacuzzi was for us only (it might be a bit uncomfortable if you share it with strangers). Lots of things for younger kids to explore, playground. Wonderful location in the woods, 10min walk to the lake beach. Blueberries everywhere. Really recommend!

AustriaIt would be great if the cottages had signs saying „community Kittchen & sauna“, „toilet“,… So you could find it easier. Everything else was perfect and I have nothing to complain about. :)
If you want to relax, go there! You have a Sauna, Jacuzzi and you can hear nothing but the birds and crickets. It’s close to a lake you can jump in after heating up in the sauna. You have everything you need like toilet and shower. The hosts informs you about everything in a message before.

United KingdomShared kitchen, bathroom, sauna, shower are all in 1...this makes privacy a bit of an issue. If someone is using the shower, the toilet is also in use. Likewise with sauna and sink. This is a bit of an inconvenience.
This is a lovely place to spend a night.m There are actually only 2 units (and we were there alone). Surroundings are beautiful. Check in and check out is left up to the guest (email with all details). Sauna, Jacuzzi, shower etc. all provided. rooms are small, but adequate for a stay in the forest.
