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 KingdomEverything was great. Communication prior to the visit could have been improved as I had no reply to my attempt of contact regarding being late to check in, but luckily there was someone still available at reception when we got there, so it turned out OK.
The lodge was beautiful and in such a lovely location. It was clean and comfortable, and we had such a relaxing stay. The only thing that could have been better was the weather! We will definitely be returning.

United KingdomThe outside sitting area hadn't been covered up so all the cushions were soaked through and unusable.
A beautifully appointed lodge, great kitchen and open plan living area, all very clean and tastefully decorated. The hot tub was added a touch of luxury to our stay.

United KingdomThe drains smelt in the en-suite bathroom and so we tried to keep the door shut and only just the shower in there once. This is what wasn’t too inconvenient as we used the other shower which was more powerful anyway. On the first morning we had a power cut and was told it was because of the toaster, so we had to make sure most electric was turned off to use the toaster so it didn’t happen again. Luckily we had to only wait half an hour until the reception opened at 9.00 and someone was sent within another 10 minutes to fix it. We were lucky enough to have most evenings without rain but on the last night the rain was too heavy to use the hot tub- the hot tub area isn’t sheltered, it would have been nice to have maybe w gazebo or umbrella of some sort so we could still use it. The overall cleanliness was good but there were some dust on items we didn’t really have to touch if you looked close enough (furnishings/ decor/ signs) and there were some holes on the bed runner in the main bedroom and a few marks on the curtains in the. Twin room and some on the sofas / other areas which I guess are high-traffic areas. We stayed in November where the outside temperature was between 5-8 degrees in the day, we found the lodge was quite cold and we had to have the fire on almost all the time we were there as the radiators didn’t seem to warm the lodge. It would have been nice to have a little written manual on arrival with key details, as everything was sent online via our booking and it was a bit of a struggle at first because the signal was poor for our mobile internet and it we had to look around for the Wi-Fi password before we could get back online to double check things!
The lodge was tastefully decorated and it had everything we needed (except a high chair but luckily we brought our own) We chose this property because it had a hot tub and that didn’t disappoint. The location was good for us because we wanted it to feel like an escape but also within a short driving distance from York itself (it was around 40minutes) it had a Lidl a short 5minute drive away which was perfect to grab a couple of bits we’d forgotten. It wasn’t too quiet for us which was good as we didn’t want to feel too secluded, in the evenings and we could hear others enjoying their stay in their hot tubs but we couldn’t see anyone and the noise was distant enough to not affect our time.

United KingdomThe shower in the main bathroom was too hot. the coldest setting was still at burning point and we could not use it having to use the shower in the main bedroom instead. I would say this needs checking out as it could cause burns to the skin.

United KingdomYou can't change the hot tub temperature yourself. The veranda faces a car parking area.
Lovely peaceful site. The lodge is beautiful! Very spacious and the facilities are perfect. Washing machine and dishwasher if you need them, and there's a drinks fridge in the kitchen as well. The hot tub is lovely although you can't change the temperature yourself, one night it was too hot and the next was too cool.

United KingdomThe only thing I would change is a slightly later check out time. I later discovered you can pay for a later check out time but this wasn’t an option when I booked.
The site is absolutely lovely and the staff at the restaurant were great. The food was also really good, my partner ordered the Teriyaki ribs and absolutely loved them. The lodge itself is amazing, this is the second time we have stayed and we will be staying again.
