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 KingdomBathroom, in particular the toilet space was small.
Idyllic. Very serene, peaceful, quite. All amenities are readily available. If you require privacy and me time. you can't go wrong. Pity I don't know how to fish, would have been a good experience learning.

United KingdomNothing really, the toilet area was small for my 6' 2" stature. So had to sit down to use it.
Lovely, very nice pod with very comfy double bed. Sofa, table and chairs. Chairs on the veranda. Little kitchen with a sink, kettle, toaster, microwave, plates and cutlery. Coffee, tea and a bottle of fresh tasty milk in the mini-fridge. Wall mounted TV with remote and WiFi. En-suite shower, sink and toilet. Towels and toiletries were provided. Your choice of bread is provided with butter. The lakes are nice and peaceful, the noise of the A12 is ignorable. The five pods and the breakfast area are decorated by numerous bird sculptures. I was in Kingfisher. The staff were all very helpful. Only 45 minutes walk from Witham Railway Station.

United Kingdomslightly cramped, a larger person would definitely not be able to use the toilet. I would recommend putting some water in the fridge, as it was unclear whether the water from the tap was drinkable.
it was clean, comfortable and cosy. There was everything you could possibly need. the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful.

United KingdomThe only things I'd change would be: a) how damp it felt, but I guess its difficult to balance ventilation with keeping the pods warm at this time of the year. b) I was in the end pod furthest from the WiFi signal and so might be a problem for anyone who required high speeds
The cabins were well furnished and had everything I needed for a few days stay. I arrived after the kitchen had closed but the host very thoughtfully offered me a sausage bap rather than the pot noodle i'd grabbed en route. The waterside location was peaceful and relaxing, and I slept pretty well.

United StatesI am not from the area and didn't realize that although it is only a mile from town, it isn't really a walkable mile into town, as the property is down a tight one lane road off of a busy road without a sidewalk. I didn't rent a car and I felt isolated.
I love the setting because I like to rise with the sun and walk. Many paths throughout the property and beautiful birds and plants. The pods are very well-built and cozy. Love the deck and watching the birds. Friendly staff and good food at the cafe!

United KingdomMe and my other half had a beautiful time at colemans cottage ! The pods are layed out perfectly filled with everything you need for a nice and easy brakeaway. The pod was lovely clean and tidy and the bed was so comfortable! The pods are perfect for watching the stars at night on the balcony all cuddled up . There are three fishing lakes that you can walk around watching all the fish swim and splash . The staff are amazing from a warm welcome when we arrived to serving us the yummiest breakfast . We loved our little pod we will definitely be back !

United KingdomWould have liked microwave higher up .. Small bin /bag for teabags /bit and bobs in kitchen area would have been useful - 2 tea towels would have been useful.
Lovely setting and great for us as we had travelled a long way .. there was a bit of road noise but that faded depending on the wind direction and time of day...We slept like logs and were very impressed with how warm it was. As a larger male we worried how he would find the shower and toilet ..but actually it was fine - we didnt feel cramped at all.. We had both beds made up. He liked being able to fish and then simply walk home shower and fall in to bed.. There was a local Tesco nearby which was useful but also the food on site was ok , we enjoyed breakfast and then managed with help of microwave. There are sometimes a lot of people fishing but you couldnt tell as site was lovely and quiet - so nice to walk round the lakes and just chill out..great weekend get away from it space ..and I suspect quite nice in spring and autumn as so cosy.
