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, 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, 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 KingdomThere wasn't anything that we didn't like.
We were very impressed with the glamping site. The location and surroundings were beautiful. The tent was a great size had was very cosy (2 adults + 1 child). The site was very spacious and peaceful. We had a lovely time using the firepit in the evening. There were more facilities there than we realised such as shared fridges and cookers which was very helpful. There was lots of things to do in surrounding areas. This included going to Jeremey Clarkson's Farm (was around 30 minute drive away). We will definitely come back again!

United KingdomWe liked everything at the property, but a suggestion- Signage at the main entrance off the road will help as we drove by the property twice .
Only 20 min drive into Oxford on a direct bus right opposite the property. Beautifully maintained lawns and trees The tents were of superior quality and spacious with all essential amenities . Efficient heater and lots of blankets to keep us warm The kitchen and washing up area had items well labelled and accessible . Good separation of waste . Close proximity to the Thames river . We will definitely stay again here 👍🏼👍🏼

United KingdomThis is probably more of a personal preference but the mattress on the bed was far too soft and I woke up with a sore back as a result. At breakfast time it was raining but there were only 2 covered picnic areas to eat which were both taken up, so we had to take our food back to our tent which didn’t have an area to eat as a family so we had to sit on the bed / floor. Given the great British weather it would have been nice to have more covered areas to eat, perhaps one per tent.
Exactly like the pictures. The tents are beautifully set up and spaced so that you have maximum privacy from others. Great site layout and convenient access to all facilities. The tents and kitchen are equipped with everything you would need for your stay and it was a nice touch to have extra blankets, hot water bottles and enough kindling / wood and coal to have 1 fire and 1 BBQ.

United KingdomAbsolutely loved this place!!! The tent was warm and comfortable. Lovely little fairy lights and very romantic. Tents were well spaced out and each had outdoor seating, firepit/bbq. Site is next to a wildflower meadow and the river Thames. It is lovely and quiet. Within the tent there are utensils, plates, cups etc. Each tent has its own fridge/freezer in the shared, outdoor kitchen which was very useful. The toilets and showers were nice and clean. The location is wonderful. We did the walk that the owners have helpfully provided a map for on their website. It was a brilliant walk! Along the Thames River path and then back through Wytham Woods (via the Trout pub!). Would love to return soon :)
