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 KingdomIt wasn’t as clean as I’d of liked, the blind was covered in stains, the shower didn’t drain away fast and if both myself and my husband had to shower we needed to be in and out within 5 minutes each otherwise it flooded the floor.
The staff were amazing, very attentive. Felt like I was away in Canada in the lodge and really loved the little walks around the estate.

United KingdomPlease see above comments.
Very comfortable bed and linen. Lighting in the room was not convenient or well thought out. The dressing table light turned overhead light on as well. Only one bed side light. Bathroom is functional but stark. Bedroom fitted furnishing are tired and outdated. Staff were friendly.

United KingdomShower not great, and I had emailed 3 weeks prior asking to book the spa to be told it wasn't possible, it could only be done on the day. On arrival I asked again to be told it was fully booked. Quite annoyed as this was our main reason for booking a spa hotel.
Lovely atmosphere, good location and staff great.

United KingdomI wasn't too taken with all the timber. it was like being in the Little House on the Prairie.
Our ground floor room was comfortable and well appointed. We also had direct access to a patio area with ducks wandering around in the morning. The staff who we encountered including the breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was well presented and tasty. A good selection at the cold buffet too. we didn't use the spa.

United KingdomThe restaurant was disappointing, food just ok, nothing special,service not great either. We feel the whole place is getting to look tired & in need of some TLC. They seem to be concentrating on the wedding market & neglecting the areas that need attention. Which is a shame
We love the location. We have visited several times over several years & love cabin 69 always stay there. Love its peaceful location in the forest. However this time the peace was spoiled by the people in the next cabin, talking & laughing very loudly until the small hours !

United KingdomBreakfast wasn't up to expectations. The coffee wasn't very good at all, weak and not a great taste. The vegetarian breakfast on the Sunday was poor. The mushrooms were overcooked and dry. The hotel's link to a local taxi firm should be changed because the firm used were unreliable for us (10 minutes turned to almost 60)and this unreliability was apparently a standing joke. Also I think a regular feature of great hotels is to have a decent coffee maker in the rooms.
We really liked the room. The room was spacious with plenty of storage space and a great shower. It was really clean and well looked after. The staff were very friendly and very helpful.

United KingdomThat there is a extre £15 charge for pool ect if you go outside the times - it was my birthday and after my back massage ( which was good by the way) I had to pay a extra £15 to swim jacquzzi sauna - I understand their theory but I think if u have treatments booked it should be free
It’s just lovely such a suprise when you enter and great facilities .one day sat with a book on the sun beds near the lake and its was just wonderful

United KingdomBeds were not very comfortable (pillows seemed to shrink into nothing, mattress sloped heavily to one side) and we had to look for staff on several occasions as they were not present at the front desk or bar.
Beautiful grounds, fabulous location, and a really unique feel to the building. Felt like dropping into the past, and what a lovely smell throughout from the redwood! Wish timings had allowed for us to use the spa, as looked lovely.

United KingdomI was at the end of the hotel and my shower was only just big enough for me at 5’6” so would have struggled if I was any bigger. Also it was a tiny head and only 2” of me could be warm at any one time!
Very quaint and reminded me of a ski chalet. Comfy bed and lovely staff.

United KingdomFull pool access not included in the stay. Only one hour on the day you arrive 8-9pm which is a waste of the stay if you've come to enjoy a swim like we did. You can also go something like 7-9am but you will be wanting breakfast at that time. You can book pool access for about £20 pp which is not unreasonable. It also means that the pool is not too busy as access is timed. I'm not against the way it's run. However they should make this very clear when booking so that your first feeling when arriving isn't disappointment! Also we got the last space available so again, better to know in advance.
Beautiful absolutely stunning scenery. Peaceful. I like the idea of booking time slots for the pool/spa as it meant it wasn't too busy. Price is fair I love that it's realistic for normal people looking for a treat night away.
