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.).

Verified reviewThe beautiful hot showers and friendly staff. The food was absolutely lovely. The trailer was neat and clean. The views were spectacular. Waking up to the sounds of birds chirping was a bonus, nature at its best. Would definitely go back...
There was a power outage that occurred the first night of our stay and then again the morning of our departure day, which affected the trailer we were in and the one above but we made the most of it. The kids' entertainment was a bit of a letdown as they ran out of marshmallows to toast over the fire at the beach, and the movie night was not as planned, kids ended up watching programs on YouTube in the playroom instead. Could do better...

Verified reviewIt’s very unique. The themed caravans are fun. You have all the comforts and space. Very clean with lovely bedding .
The lounge area is very basic. So mot very homely. But I thought I was going into just a caravan , so the extra Soave is a welcome addition. The restaurant area and lounge area are great. Lovely pool area (if you go in summer) food was excellent. Staff were excellent

Verified reviewIt was cold and wet but the fire places were always on and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality. Had some really nice chats with the manager who was really kind and helpful. All the staff were great.
There was a group who was little noisy on the first night but was not a major problem.

Verified reviewThe layout reminds me of dirty dancing! Something for everyone,. The food was spectacular, the staff extremely friendly and willing to go out of their way for you. The ambience is magical, we will definitely be back.
I was a little disappointed in that I arranged and confirmed twice for some sort of a surprise for my husband's 40th birthday. I had imagined something like a balloon or cupcake or something at the accommodation when we got to the suite, but there was nothing.

Verified reviewLove the communal social design of the place. There are several places where people can gather and enjoy the facilities, including the main restaurant area and the 'beach' area on the small lake. The restaurant area is loaded with all kinds of seating place, both formal and informal, and a beautiful pool with enough loungers. It is really set out nicely for social vibes. The beach area has kayaks, floater tubes and a bar...really well though out. Staff are super friendly, and the food and alcohol options are good. Wood fires hot tubs at the tiny home we stayed in was AMAZING. Bonus is the wood supply for this at no additional cost.
We weren't given a number we can call or whatsapp for any issues. As we were staying on the far end, this would have been really helpful. For example, we were given fire lighters (nice), but no matches. We then had to drive up to the top to get this sorted, which is inconvenient. We had some maintenance issues in our unit, but nothing major. Again, could have been sorted pretty easily if we had a whatsapp number or similar.

Verified reviewBreakfast was amazing, and all the activities on site. It was peaceful and tranquil. The views from the Daddy’s Den glamping site is amazing. Makes you feel like you in nature.
The glamping area maybe needs an update. Bathroom and toilet facilities. The shower was leaking. Also, there is not enough lighting at night. The artificial grass also continues to feel wet and cold. We requested fresh towels Saturday morning had to ask again Saturday evening. The makeup requested wasn't good. Wood on site was wet.
