Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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’re 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 like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomA lot of the properties are very close to each other so it is overlooked. A larger decking area at the lounge end of the lodge would be good with patio doors added to enjoy an outdoor space more effectively. Plus a gate on the steps to keep dogs securely on the decking.
It was in good condition with everything we needed and was roomy enough for 3 adults.

The property was central to other places ,spacious.

United KingdomIt was for us not easy to find the place, the map of the area that I got from host was not fine enough, i sort of had to guess. I called the number for emergency that I was given with the map, a lady who answered the phone said "I can not do anything untill tomorrow morning, can you contact booking.com" I was upset as I was with 2 young children in the area of this place! Well turned out that I was in front of another number 21. The place was great, but wish there was a dishwasher detergent(there were dishwasher tablets) Shower's drain was blocked but we all preferred bath, so it was not a big problem for us. I did write a lot here but overall it was a great stay.
Everything clean, practical, nice place to stay.

United KingdomWith growth there is building work but it’s a necessity to upgrade and improve. It’s worth it.
Location was great. 7 minute drive to the beach. The park was laid out well. Looks like it’s growing with new properties. The restaurant was good value. We increased our stay to stay longer.

United KingdomEmail, stated incorrect lock key code. Waited 30 mins for someone to call back to give correct key code. A large amount of mould in the shower. Towels were dirty. Bedding was dirty. The whole property felt like it wasn’t cleaned. Bed was uncomfortable. Would not recommend or stay at this property again. Not value for money.
Location was great.

United KingdomThe cleanliness let the property down which is so sad because everything else was great. There was dog hair and dust all over the lounge/dining room floor, the windows were dirty as was the veranda and door mat, covered in mud and grass before we’d even opened the front door. There was hair in my son’s bed, and the bathroom hand towels were visibly dirty. the lodge smelt slightly of damp even though the windows had been left ajar to air the property out. There was also no hand soap in the bathrooms, yes we could have and did use the soap in the kitchen but for a family of 3 who obviously use toilets at different times having to fetch it and take it in to each bathroom was inconvenient and unhygienic. One might argue does the property need to be spotless and 100% clean if it’s just somewhere to rest your head at night but for me the answer will always be yes. Especially as a disabled person myself and with one child who has severe allergies and another with asthma, being in a clean environment is essential. At the times we needed to rest indoors the last thing you want is to look out of dirty windows, seeing cobwebs all over the veranda and dog fur and dust all over the floors. Yes I could have cleaned it myself (I did sweep up and mop what I could on our first night but I shouldn’t have had to and after a very long motorway drive I just wanted to get my kids fed and into bed so we could wake up and start enjoying our little holiday this is why I didn’t call for someone to come to the lodge to clean it when we arrived, the evening was getting on and we were exhausted. Despite this one complaint I’d like to think it was a one off occurrence as the reviews in the guest book are all wonderful. We’d definitely book to come back again.
The location was beautiful and the lodge itself was a wonderful size. It was light and spacious and loved the addition of the guest book. Thank you! <3
