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 KingdomNothing was amazing we loved it.
Everything it was beautiful, loads of space, 4 of us stayed in the lodge and it was the prefect size. 2 very big bedrooms and was great having 2 bathrooms with 3 women and my husband. Loads of windows so was bright and airy. Everything you could need in the kitchen.

United KingdomOutdoors : The decking area which should be a feature was in need of a clean. Cobwebs covering the balcony corners and windows and furniture seemed … ‘plonked’ outside. The loungers had no cushions. Just let the whole place down. Indoors: Both TV’s has satellite signal issues and were unwatchable and the ‘fire’ emitted an annoying buzzing sounding - like having tinnitus.
Great location with lovely outlook from the upstairs apartments. It was very relaxing with lovely walks. The outdoors and greenery of the golf course and lakes makes this a tranquil retreat without being miles away from other facilities, towns and places to eat.

United KingdomThe duvets and pillows coud have been better quality and the TV had poor reception so could only watch a couple of channels. And the pot holes in the road to the lodges need sorting!
The lodge itself was very spacious, comfortable and had amazing views over the golf course. A lovely balcony for dining outside, and all the amenties you need for a short stay.

United KingdomThe lodge whilst very large and impressive needs a little tlc in places. The driveway up to the lodges has some significant potholes and it could do with some maintenance before another winter sets in and makes them even worse. The reception staff were not as impressive as the waiting staff.
The breakfast was excellent and waiting staff commendable. The evening meal (the main courses in particular) were of a very high quality and we were very well looked after by the staff. The Lakes Restaurant has outstanding views across the golf course - you could be forgiven for thinking you were very far from Essex.

The Lodge itself was beautiful. Perfect mix of modern and luxurious. Spectacular views and very spacious. Loved the large glass windows. Well equipped and very clean. The beds were so comfortable I found it hard to get out.

United Kingdomoutdoor bin storage area was overflowing, one side of the property overlooked an unattended area that could have been tidier, a neighbouring flat now empty had not been cleaned because all the litter had been left on the balcony. All of which would have been easily dealt with.
