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.).

AustraliaBathrooms weren’t always clean, no staff available on site, communal facilities neglected, would be a better stay if you have a car. We mentioned prior to arrival that we will require the bedding packages as we are travelling and when we arrived there was nothing to be found. We had to rush to the nearest camping store before it closed to get a sleeping bag for the night. Wasn’t a big deal for us and we ended up saving a lot of money but I can imagine this would annoy some people.
Was a great little getaway for the weekend! The pods were clean, spacious for 2 people, and safe!

United KingdomPrice is bit misleading, had to pay extra for bedding, bit hard to see code lock on toilet door in the middle of the night. Having own toilet would have been preferable rather than having to walk to shower block. Bit of long walk if you are staying in pods at the back.
Great location, straight off main road, next to a Greggs and a Burger King. Very pretty site, lots of facilities, spotlessly clean, cute little fairy lights that came on after dark. WiFi was good, pod was warm Great pre arrival communication and online check in.

United KingdomLighting in Sizzle Hut needs to be better and I slipped on some decking which didn't have a wire mesh on it Also it runs on minimal presence of the owner and staff which was not an issue and they were really helpful when we did see them but something to be aware of. Mattresses were a bit uncomfortable too but nothing major
This place was a real find for walking in the far eastern fells where hostel accommodation is quite limited. The pods were well equipped and clean and the layout of the site was well though out with each pod having it's own bench and bbq. Some also have verhandahs and fenced off areas for extra space. The showers were hot and toilets spotless. The exatra facilities such as the Sizzle shack and Chill Zone are a good option at extra cost but not exclusive to guests so other parties of locals use then as well. We hired the Sizzle shack which is a combined bbq firepit ideal for groups in poor weather. It needs a bit more lighting for when you are cooking though. All of the additional facilities and the communal area are Alexa enabled for music and heating. We will be back even the location is just of the A66 to Keswick. There is a service station less than 100 yards away but you wouldn't know it

United KingdomThe mini fridge didn’t seem to keep anything cool or cold. Some other guests had dogs roaming the site in the evening. The Hub wasn’t big enough to meet up with friends and the outdoor area was monopolised by the guests with the dogs.
A beautiful site with lovely camping huts and some really thoughtful touches like the outdoor sheltered area and little play area. Good bathroom facilities and hot showers. I would return.

United KingdomRailway line and traffic noise so earplugs required if a light sleeper. Keypads for entrance to any toilet/shower sometimes did not work.
Great for my short stopover on the way to Aberdeen. Cleanest facilities I have ever experienced on a campsite. Good WiFi, microwave, heater, lovely external area.

United KingdomThe huts are nice but they sell them for too many people. All huts had a number of beds plus an extra mattress on the floor. In this way the huts were really crowded. I think this should not be an option as it may even pose risks to safety as people would literally have to trample over the person sleeping on the floor to get out. This was not clear from the pictures that give the impression of much more space. Also, there is an 11pm silence rule that is not enforced...
The position was good and the village is pretty. The possibility to use BBQ areas and wooden tables and benches is great. There were kettles and kitchen utensils enough for having meals without worrying.

United KingdomUnfortunately the attitude of the owner, communication skills were very poor, very dramatic and overreacting, there was 16 children and 15 adults, it was going to be a little noisy, and there was going to be kids toys, rubbish, and camping chairs about, 30 people in a small area, not like we left back home and left it in a terrible way, we left our rubbish and toys and chairs out, we was there for the 2 nights, and all I bed asleep by,12-1. Also its not like we was all in a massive bed room, there was 4 people to one pod with very little storage, I honestly dnt no we're he expected everyone to put there stuff, the pods, area looked lived in for the weekend, and he clearly couldn't deal with the children's mess, mabe make it a adults only site and good luck with that.
