Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 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 KingdomPods were close to each other meaning privacy wasn’t possible if you wanted to sit outside. Bathroom/wet room, got very wet - toilet and ledge always soaked.
Amazing location, right on the lakes and barely a 15 minute drive to the local town. Having a secure area for the dogs was a huge highlight and very rare! Great walks on the site, shop & cafe.

United KingdomWe liked everything the only downside was the shop on site was closed as they where recruiting a new member of the team. Although we took enough food to last us for longer then we needed and we both got welcome packs even Lola so that was a bonus.
I enjoyed our four night holiday in my dog friendly Cabin on the Lake side with my 1 year old puppy Lola. We both enjoyed our morning and early evening walks around the site. The weather was great which was a plus for a relaxing day sat out on our decking. Our day trip to Bowness on Windermere by bus was superb, the bus is available to catch at the entrance to the site and only cost £1.70 a great price. Timetable are available at the Reception and the Reception team and the on site gardener Liam where very helpful with answering all my queries and questions.

Netherlands12ish emails In two days to fill in forms and pay for our dog... why isn't there an option when booking to pay this upfront. Also when we arrived we didn't have the required email with the codes to access site to know where we were staying because we didnt fill the form in. You should be able to get all the information you need from booking.com and not spam us to fill forms in and pay fees.

United KingdomInternet connection is very poor.
The house was very clean, there was a fireplace inside, lots of channels on TV, and a nice welcome with a glass of wine. A very nice patio next to the house where you can sit and drink coffee or eat. Very nice surroundings of the entire facility, I highly recommend it. Joanna.

United KingdomVery clean apartment overlooking Windermere lake. We had beautiful views from the balcony with a bistro set to have breakfast in the morning. The staff were very friendly and helpful which made our stay even better. We had a smooth check-in/out and were only a stones throw from reception if we had any questions or needed taxis, etc. Location was brilliant too - only 10 minutes from Bowness pier and town with lots of lovely little shops and restaurants. Hylands restaurant (the beef rib) in particular was amazing. Most of the big waterfalls (Aira Force and Tom Gill) are further up North but still accessible by car for a brilliant day out.

United KingdomWhen cooking, it's very hard to see over the hob as there is no direct light. I did have to shine the touch over the hob. All it needs is a little spotlight and problem solved. I am sure this will not be an issue in summer. We stayed during winter dark early nights. The extendable minor in the bath gets in the way as it sticks out. To have a smaller shower head to save on water. It might also help you get a longer shower before it gets cold.
The views from the pod are amazing. You are right next to the lake. The pod is very cosy and clean. Plus you can park your car outside near your pod.
