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 KingdomI personally thought the bed a little too soft but other would love this so it’s a personal preference but pillows were right. The sofa also I felt was too soft for the older person but again nothing that a removable fold out wooden support under the cushion seats wouldn’t cure.
The lodge had been heated ready for our late arrival which is a great bonus at this time of year when it’s still so cold out. The fridge/freezer had all been switched on too , all appliance’s were clean and for once a nice sized scouring pad in the kitchen with good quality tea towel and better washing up liquid . Good brand dish washer tablets and shower and soap bars , well done on that score.

United KingdomAs rooms are not serviced during the stay, one can easily run out of basic necessities like the toilet paper. And it’s no problem going to the reception and getting it but we stayed during Christmas and could not find any staff member that could help.
The location and the rooms exceeded our expectations. Would definitely return during summer.

United KingdomWe went away for a short break with our dogs over new year weekend. I was required to do some remote work but unfortunately the WiFi at the lodges is not good. It was slow and very hit and miss, dropping out and reconnecting. That's if you could get it to connect. The staff were aware and stated it is all due for an upgrade soon. There is also no 5G or mobile phone coverage here either. My wife and I are on 2 major mobile networks and neither had phone or 5G reception, so it's something to consider for the park and customers. The double bed was very hard... And whenever either of us turned over it creaked and squeaked. This woke us both up separately during the nights sleep.
The location and quiet set up nestled behind a castle in a quiet valley. The lodges are clean, warm and quiet. They are very dog friendly and have easy clean wood floors. All facilities included , kitchenware, dishwasher and even washing machine with a separate shower and large corner bath. The bar is cosy and prices are acceptable for a holiday location. We will come again and recommend the location to friends.

United KingdomWi-Fi was not even worth advertising that you supply it, very very poor. The only thing that let the weekend down as phone signal was the same, so if you are lokkingnto go completely off-grid for communications then this is the place
The food in the restaurant was epic, quiet place with a short walk to the small Dock.
