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 KingdomI didn’t realise it was on such a big campsite
My partner is 6ft7 (202cm) and is often uncomfortable glamping but this was really spacious and roomy and well laid out! Amenities were great, bed was comfy, great views of stars and ideal location.

United KingdomOnly downsides were no hob, and the fridge was so noisy it kept us awake. Didn't see the cafe or the chip shop open. Maybe end of season and not enough people there.
Love the Pod. Our second stay. Spotlessly clean. The location in the heart of the countryside is beautiful. Quiet and peaceful.

United KingdomFor the price we paid, it would've been nice for some complimentary tea and coffee facilities. The TV didn't work, it said no signal and the cable wouldn't stay in the back, although we would only really have watched it for an hour or so after the hike so it was no great loss, and we didn't take this up with any staff due to the late hour so I am sure they would've helped us resolve this if we had asked. These are only minor issues in an overall great stay.
The location was spot on - we stayed here to take part in the Macmillan Mighty Hike and it was perfect. Great location, close to some lovely little places. The pod itself was immaculately clean, and the bed was SO comfy. The shower was great, good pressure and good temp. Kitchen facilities are good too. The holiday park were very accommodating of our late arrival (9.30pm) and left the key at the bar for us - the barman was very friendly and approachable and gave us all the info we needed. A very lovely little accommodation, would stay again.

United KingdomWe stayed in May and was cold sometimes at night so I can imagine that this place would get quite cold in winter. They had a kettle and mugs but we forgot tea and milk so some complimentary tea and milk would have gone quite a long way.
Really nice middle ground between camping and a hotel. Really modern and unique experience to stay in the pod, lovely outdoor area with lots of nature around you and very quiet. Great location for Ullswater as it’s a short drive away. Kitchen facilities including fridge to bring snacks and drinks.

Great facilities. If you’re not a camper like me, this is the perfect compromise It’s brand new and immaculate so it will be interesting if it stays in such great condition.
