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.).

United KingdomWe can't think of any improvements - Sheila really has thought of absolutely everything.
Our stay was absolutely fantastic. Sheila couldn't do enough for us - upon arrival she checked that the tent was warm enough for us, and added extra heaters in case we got cold. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic and we were blown away by the quality and comfort of the yurt and hot tub. The facilities are absolutely outstanding and Sheila really is a great host. Can't thank you enough for making my other half's 30th birthday weekend away extra special and we will definitely return.

United KingdomThe property could just do with a few more outdoor lights now that the dark night are coming.
Our stay in the Bell tent was amazing, it was like our very own secret garden, great facilities with the hot tub, bbq, fire pit and outdoor kitchen. Everything was very well looked after and maintained, the bell tent was so cosy with beautiful decor! We loved every minute of our stay! Shiela was amazing and couldn’t do more to help, helping us with the bbq, fire pit and local recommendations and ensuring we had enough milk for a morning cuppa, thanks so much.

United KingdomThe ‘bathroom’ was an enclosed chemical toilet, with a very small portable plastic hand basin. You had to hold the tap in place with one hand to use it. The door did not close from the inside, so whilst sat on the toilet you had to use one hand to hold the door closed, giving no privacy re the shared ‘lounge’ , hot tub and other tent in the rear garden. Unless you used the hot tub, no other means to wash or shower. Obviously only cold water. The one mug available to make a cup of tea was dirty. The very busy A17 runs behind the location so unless you are used to the noise of constant heavy traffic (which I’m not) then it is very noisy. At £110 it cost to stay here, I wished I had not cancelled my 2* hotel booking 10 miles away at a cost of £57, as I thought it’s location to the showground would be worth the extra money and although I appreciate it is ‘camping’ at that price I thought the facilities would have and should have been better. Glamping it was not.
The host was very pleasant; close proximity to Newark showground

United KingdomAll looking a little tired and overpriced based on facilities. Tent had a lot of green mould on the outside layer which could be seen from inside the tent, and this detracted from the whole look of the accommodation. No lights working in toilet or kitchen area during first night, was sorted when brought to management’s attention. Site is next to a VERY noisy A road, 24/7 traffic and this wasn’t mentioned in property bio. Also next to working pig farm, so noise of animals & tractors.
Bell tent was in a private part of garden with a hot tub in another tent nearby.
