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.).

Lovely setting and great amenities i.e. showers and loos. Nice to have use of the BBQ and found free coals to use 😁 Very relaxed vibe.

United KingdomThis was our first time glamping and it was not as "glam" as expected. It was great not to have to bring and pitch a tent, and also not to have to sleep on mats but you do have to bring everything else including bedding and towels. The tent floor was clean and dry but there was obvious mildew on the canvas itself. It didn't bother us necessarily but there were a lot of bugs in the tent which is probably unavoidable in this type of setting. Our double mattress was comfortable but there was a definite dip in the middle! The kettle in the kitchenette was very very slow and was prone to leaking so would recommend a replacement.
We booked a last minute stay to make the most of the end of the good weather at the end of September and stretch out the summer. In general we really enjoyed our stay and the easy access to Marwell Zoo and Winchester. The shower and toilet facilities were clean and there was lots of hot water. Kitchenette has fridge space, 2ring hob, microwave, lots of cups and plates, cutlery, tea and coffee and kettle. Check in and out were very straightforward. Great to have a heater in the tent, a lamp, bbq and picnic table. Lovely to see the stars in the evening

United KingdomHad the experience of camping with creature comforts eg bed, light, heating in tent. Shared kitchen facilities. Toilets/showers always pristine. The on-site restaurant had great food and reasonable price. All staff super helpful and welcoming. Spent some time with the owner at the bar and he was a very nice guy. Definitely will be returning with friends in the near future. Thank you

MalaysiaBed was wobbly, it was itching. It was too hot & no fan provided. Toilets didn't have a bin. Water in the sink had too high pressure, it splashes out & makes the clothes wet.
It was a lovely experience. Much of the kitchen facilities was great.

United KingdomI think the facilities could be better planned ie sink in the communal kitchen area rather than separate place. Also I expected the Bell tents to be a little more luxurious than they were. Maybe more effort and larger communal area and some more facilities for children to play would be good.
I liked the site as a whole was great and the location.

United KingdomWhen we arrived reception had no confirmation of our booking at all!!! I was not impressed as I have a confirmed confirmation sent through to me back in Feb of 2023. T Our stay was July 2023 so we booked plenty of time in advance. Luckily the staff were so friendly and helpful they managed to fit us in at the Marwell Safari tents which were fantastic. If it wasn't for the staff we would have been left without a place to say which is unacceptable.
The staff were brilliant and accommodated us exceptionally well considering Booking.com messed up. I cannot fault the venue at all. The problem was booking.com of which I will not be using to book places again.
