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 KingdomWe wanted to go for food after a busy day it was a shame we had to get back in the car. With a tired 3 year old the pubs are not in walking distance. A small shop would have been a good idea for the site. The pod was very very hot without the heating on.
Staff are fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Pods were very clean and it was nice the area was separated from the tents and camper vans etc. it just makes it feel more like glamping. Welcome book was a great addition we choose or next days adventure because of it.

United KingdomLittle to complain of: the picnic tables under trees suffer from bird droppings but that’s hard to avoid anywhere. The cabin cushions are hard edged if used as a long pillow so I improvised with a rucksack and spare clothing.
The cabin was basic and fine, pretty much what I expected. The layout of the cabin area is convenient with parking and washroom block very close. The picnic tables alongside were handy for diy breakfast. The site location is good, in quiet farming countryside and a walk across fields to drop down into Leyburn. I liked that the cabins are named after the owner’s dogs and I met the dogs too!

United KingdomThis place is lovely. It does feel like a chilled private community of only a few sleeping pods and where possible privacy has been well thought through. My only personal concern is it was little uncomfortable for me in the mornings, when we were all sitting on the steps of our pods in a circle having to greet each other and interact. Part of communal camping, I guess - and everyone was super kind and careful so not a biggie but if you aren't a morning person and don't want to socialise it may feel weird. But sitting having a coffee watching the dogs make friends or just listening to the birds is worth the light-touch social awkwardness.
Easy escape from the hustle and bustle. Small site and closely managed so doesn't feel too rammed or busy. Quiet, natural spaces for the pods, with effort clearly invested to ensure the area around the pods remains well-kept, private, and restful. The walks from campsite are lovely and local town is perfect for a Saturday mooch, lazy brunch, or stop off for supplies. Dogs are truly welcomed and but no one seemed to assume we are all 'dog lovers' (I am not) and nice to have that respect from neighbours. I wld definitely recommend the pods for a spontaneous couple of nights away - embrace the peace and uncomplicated

United KingdomThere was cutlery but no utensils for food prep.
A very good nights sleep in a clean camping pod set in a charming wooded glen. Plenty of sockets for regular plugs and usb. Fridge was about silent and didn't disturb sleep, plus it had an ice box. Shoe rack, folding table, and hooks were all useful. The shower block was only a few steps away. It's two single beds plus the option to fill the gap in between with another single to make one big, solid sleeping platform. Good rural location.

United KingdomI dont have a negative thing to say.
I loved the location. Really peaceful and yet so close to the nearest town leyburn. All the facilities were really clean so they have done a good job keeping on top of it. Owner was really friendly and on hand if you needed anything during your stay or advice on the surrounding areas. But also gave you the space that you needed to relax and enjoy yourself. Would highly recommend. We used it as a base to go out walking and the location was really practical, and very peaceful and some lovely views from the back of the pod looking out over the hill at sunrise and sunset.

United KingdomUnfortunately we forgot to bring a fan and we were far too hot at night (that is completely our own fault). We tried to open the door to let some breeze in but were met with over 40 daddy long legs'. I think a bug net that could be fastened to the inside of the door with velcro strips would be an absolutely amazing improvement so that people can have their doors open at night time. Absolutely everything else was wonderful!
The location was wonderful and the people staying in the other pods were equally lovely. It was quiet and peaceful and close to a lot of great locations.

United KingdomThere are only 2 showers and 2 toilets between 4 pods and the rest of the campsite. They just aren’t enough ! Had to wait every time I went to the loo or showers. The pods could do with some bedside reading lights. The ceiling lights are too bright it means you can’t read if you fellow camper wants to settle down for the night. It states there is WiFi but it is slow … there is no WiFi ! Could not access at all. Thought £80/night was very expensive for no en suite facilities with very few shared facilities.
Lovely pods and we received a lovely welcome from the owner who worked so hard throughout our stay. The location is excellent and the pods were exceptionally clean. As it was cold and wet even in August the pod were cosy and warm.
