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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThere honestly was nothing not to like.
The full place is stunning and so private. Felt like we were miles away from everything and in our own wee bubble. Honestly couldn't have asked for anything better and Sarah and Jack were so helpful and lovely. Think we have found our new favourite place.

This place is amazing! The scenery surrounding you including the little river you have to cross to get to the airstream is really something else. I went just me and my 4 year old son and we had the most relaxing time ever. When we arrived the hosts had left us a little goodie bag with some snacks in it which was a perfect little touch. Could not fault anything at all, the hosts were so attentive answered any questions quickly if i had any. I would definitely recommend and already have to friends and family will be back soon :)

United KingdomI can’t fault anything, we loved every minute
Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The van was decorated with heart bunting and confetti and there was a lovely card and local handmade chocolates left for us. This place is the stuff of dreams. The host Sarah is lovely and had excellent communication to make sure everything was ok. We took ingredients with us and had fun making cocktails before using the hot tub. There are tonnes of little quirky surprises everywhere that make you smile. The bed was incredibly comfortable and facilities were great. I can’t recommend it enough, we will definitely be back!

United KingdomThe airstream was immaculate, the fireplace was so cosy! And the added touch of a little welcome gift was just lovely! outside the aesthetic and all of the little quirky pieces of decor like fairy lights, figurines, lighting all over the decking, a tikki bar, and the stream honestly gave an all round magical feel, the attention to detail was second to none. The fire lit hot tub was just the cherry on top of the cake. The location is so secluded and just made a perfect get away. The hosts were so lovely, and couldn’t have been more helpful. All in all it was a perfect weekend getaway and we can’t wait to come back again in the near future! Thank you so much 🥰

Absolutely everything! The most relaxed weekend away just what myself and my partner needed, very well equipped the owners have thought of every detail, so private, quirky and different, hands down the cosiest place we have ever stayed, just loved everything and did not want to leave! Secluded but only a 5min drive to shops etc, very easy to find with the owners directions taking us straight to our parking point, self check in and check out and we were even left a lovely gift from the owners, clear instructions on how to use everything so we had no problems at all heating up the hot tub or using all the other amenities, the bed was very comfortable also, thank you so so much for a wonderful weekend in the woods and we cannot wait to come back 😊

United Kingdomonly one thing it was missing was a small TV so you could watch films at night with the fire on. other than that it was brilliant.
I really enjoyed the peace and quiet along with the setup and layout of the place. it really did feel like you were away from everyone and away from your day to day life, which makes it even more special. me and my other half are hoping to visit again

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like. Everything was amazing infact it exceeded our expectations. I was apprehensive about staying in the woods but I need ent have been this place was absolute bliss
We loved everything. The hot tub, fire pit, plenty of logs to keep them going. We loved the wee tiki bar and the bed was the most comfy bed ever. The whole place was so nice and so peaceful. Perfect getaway from it all. We weren’t sure how the hot tub worked and a quick message to Sarah soon resolved this. Anything we were not sure about or any questions we had she was straight back to me about. The photos on the website don’t do it justice, it’s a beautiful place and has everything you need and more. Loved the wee gift that was left for us. Can’t praise this place enough. I was a bit apprehensive about being in the woods but I loved it.

Very private and cosy, we were worried it would be cold, but the fire keeps you incredibly toasty! Sarah is such a lovely host and there is so many personal touches that make it even more memorable! Already booked to return in July! Hopefully to make more use of the amazing outdoor areas!
