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 KingdomThere was a little noise at 6.30am on the morning that we were leaving but it didn't last long, and it is a working farm.
Staying in the Sally Saracen was an experience of a lifetime. perched high up on a hill, with only greenery, farm animals and a few neighbouring caravans around you was like taking a true moment to disconnect. It's glamping with heart. Take a loved one. Its back to basics, but everything has been laid out very well. My favourite was the pit fire you could burn at night. The family even left a bag of marshmallows for us to toast. A great experience.

United KingdomNo bad points at all!
Where do I start! This was a fantastic place to stay! It was a complete surprise for my partner as he had no idea where we were going to for the night, and he absolutely loved it! The view was fantastic, especially with the little piggy friends in front! Alex met us as we pulled up and gave us a tour of the place and was so friendly! The toilet and shower facilities were great, and the bed was very comfy considering what it was in! We had a nice fire at night and enjoyed the peace and quiet whilst watching the lights of the buildings in the far distance! If you want something quirky and different to stay in, then I would definitely say this will do! Thanks again for a great experience, amazing!

United KingdomThis was fine for us, but you have to be fit enough to clamber in and out of the back of the old armoured car. Not recommended for someone over 70, or anyone expecting a luxurious apartment. Recommended for the slightly more adventurous traveller.
This was an experience that we really enjoyed. It's probably more like camping than anything else. Be prepared to 'rough it' a bit. Sleeping in an old armoured car was great fun. This 'crazy' place has loads of character with sign-adorned sheds to house the toilet, kitchen, and shower 'shacks'. There are mannequins, pigs, and sheep to add to the experience. Our hosts were really nice, and there were complementary marshmallows to encourage us to light up the chimney / fire when we arrived back after dinner. This experience might not be for everyone, but it was the highlight of our trip and we loved it.

United KingdomI liked the fact that there was no real electricity inside. As we knew that in advance we were prepared to deal with it. In addition, mobile coverage was excellent. So, lack of electricity and WiFi didn't bother us!
It was a remarkable stay. One that I would remember for a long time. Very unique location and to be able to sleep inside a tank was an insane experience. Loved every bit of our stay. Excellent views across the fields. Crazy experience and an ever memorable one too. They have made adequate provisions for anyone who wants to have a morning coffee or cook something light in their kitchen space. Shower / toilet was clean and had everything 8n place. Clear instructions were given too.

United KingdomThe farm was not easy to find, perhaps a more detailed sketch map or better still OS coordinates would be more precise? We found that the post code is not accurate enough to find it.
Fantastic location with lovely views. Ideal point to start interesting walks. Only 30 minutes walk to the town of St. Ives. It has an East facing location so excellent for views of the sunrise, and you don't even have to get out of bed. What a novelty, an armed personal tank as your bedroom, that's "Glamping" with a difference? On arrival, Alex showed us around the facilities available on the farm, and his Mother (owner of the farm) was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

United KingdomThat we couldn't stay another night.
What a wonderful stay! Our trains were cancelled on Saturday so we had to find a place to stay on Friday night and go a day earlier, and we are so grateful we did. Our stay at Sally was wonderful. Alex was incredibly kind and picked us up from the station after a very delayed train, and showed us around the grounds. We saw the pigs, ponies & sheep. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathroom was clean, and Sally was very comfortable. Both the sunrise and sunset was magnificent. Such a peaceful stay; just wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend.

ItalyI didn't like the trunk inside because it was really humid that I felt the bed was kind of wet, I didn't like eather all the spiders in the bathrooms, also if the place is in the nature I think it could be better cleaned!
The landlord was been very nice with us offering a free night more as excuse for some works which were doing noise! The nature around and animals are quite the reason to sleep here!

SwedenIt did not feel good to sleep in the tank; it was dusty, rusty, the ceiling was coming off and the bed was springy and soft. The place has really good reviews so I guess it is still what some people like. Perhaps you need to be a tank enthusiast?
Very friendly staff and cute surroundings.

United KingdomThe only thing I didn’t like was that we only stayed for one night! who would of thought that sleeping in an armoured personnel carrier would be so comfortable! even my girlfriend loved it!
The sheer randomness of it all. A lot going on but honestly it all went so well! it’s a bloody tank on a farm with lots of friendly animals around and the hosts were so welcoming. I would honestly recommend this to anyone!
