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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

The chalet was located right by the pond and our chidren got to see ducks and swans and ducklings close up. It was close to a play park. It was clean, had cooking utensils amd a good cooker and a fridge. We loved having our own bathroom.

United KingdomCould have a few more utensils and kitchenware. (Pan, nonstick cooking pan, wooden spoon, full size broom for self cleaning)
Peaceful atmosphere. Comfortable chalet with everything we need. Great walking trails, interesting facts about the iron streams, amazing breakfast at the cafe. And what a fun and interactive park for the children. The star of the show was all the wildlife. It was amazing to see my first kingfisher on the lake one morning.

United KingdomThe Chalet was small but had all we needed. We had great weather but if it had been raining and we couldn't sit outside, might of then been a bit claustrophobic. The site has no facilities like a club house, bar etc. There is a cafe in the Country Park a few minutes walk but it does shut at 5pm. So we did use the car alot but we knew all of this before so no problem.
Wonderful location, chalet looked over the lake. We visited Henley on Thames and Windsor Great Park, Coral Reef waterpark is 10 minutes away which the kids loved. We also walked over Finchampstead Ridges- about 10 minutes drive away but walks on site through the woods and Country Park. Brilliant 4 days away- great value for money.

NetherlandsThe chalet was unfortunately not so clean. It initially smelled of chlorine when entering, but the floor was dirty. They provided a mop for us to clean it ourselves, but that's not really how I like to start my vacation. The wifi was also horrible, almost no internet connection after 4 o'clock.
Our chalet was almost directly on the water. Overal the place has good views and the grounds are very well kept. Our kids loved the bunk beds.

United KingdomI understood I was getting a cabin by the lake with an outdoor seating area but our cabin was at the edge of the park and we had no seating outside. There were no mirrors really in the cabin which meant 4 ladies queueing for the bathroom one! Provision of a tea towel would be useful given the requirement to wash and dry all dishes. The cabin was clean at passing glance, but once we got settled we could see a few cobwebs and the floors needed a mop.
The staff were friendly and the setting is beautiful. The park itself is secure with fobs for electric gates given to guests to allow access. Parking is good and the play area is wonderful.

United KingdomPossibly do with a few more kitchen drawer items, as it is self catering. 2 loo rolls would have been nice but we did bring our own. A floor lamp in the lounge would make it feel more cosy, as you have to have the ceiling lights on all the time.
Nice friendly reception staff. The chalet was clean and warm, nice location and very quiet but it was November! Nice position by the lake but the Rhododendrons could do with a prune as they obscured most of the view!

United KingdomThe chalet could have been better lit outside. we arrived in the dark (5 30pm) and it was difficult to find the chalet first of all and the door was at the back. A light with a sensor would have been helpful, especially as it was on the lakeside, about 2 metres from the path. no signage to warn, or light to see by!
Location was ideal, as family are four miles away. The site was calm and tranquil, lots of wildlife and beautiful trees. At this time of the year, it was of course, quiet.
