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.).

United KingdomNo phone signal. Can't be helped but you know, I'm a millennial so it felt weird but might be a plus point for many.
I loved the spa. Outdoor hot tub in the rain was bliss and the little bar by the lake was gorgeous. I stayed in a cabin and it was full of rustic charm. Proper kellermans vibes (if you've never seen Dirty Dancing that will be lost on you)

United KingdomIt’s very dated. I got the feeling there were a lot of fixes rather than a refurb strategy. The spa is really old and needs replacing. Certainly not worth paying extra to use it.
Convenient location. Breakfast was good although the chef who came out to serve some of the food liked the sound of his own voice.

United KingdomThey have really cornered the market on "rustic" - emphasis on the rust. I was told they were slowly renovating. Clearly hadn't made it to the area I was allocated. Cabin was a bit tired and it had some major hot water issues. I had to play "shower skippy" - where you jump in and out quickly as it constantly goes from freezing cold to scolding hot without touching the settings. It's the second worst to having no hot water at all. When I told the front desk, they were like "yeah, tell the morning person". So I did. Apparently it will be fixed for the next person. You are welcome... Never mind that I paid full fees for a s*** shower. I booked a double bed cabin, but the cabin I was in wasn't a double bed. It was 2 single beds shoved together, and they were so old and lumpy that they didn't match in the middle. They also wobbled and squeaked when you sat on them. Two squeaky and sagging old single beds shoved together with a massive lump in the middle is not a double bed! Overall fixtures of the whole place need some attention to go from "whoa" 😬 to "wow". 😁👍 Those were really the only real gripes I had though. Lucky the spa chilled me out after that rubbish shower ...
The surrounding woodland and wildlife here were really relaxing. Sitting in the outdoor spa and watching all the ducks go by was a joy, and of an evening you can enjoy a beverage in the spa. The allocation of spa time with the room was generous and the indoor and outdoor hottubs were great. Lovely smelling eucalyptus steam room and a sauna temperature that is just right. Staff were friendly and helpful. The spa and the woodland is really the reason to come here. And it wants to be a nice spa experience, because the rooms are a bit ... Meh. Clean, tidy and not uncomfortable. The woodland views were nice to wake up to, but small and annoying issues in the room took away from the tranquility and chill vibes. Fortunately, the spa was there to set me straight...
