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...).

AustraliaThere was nothing not to like. It delivered more than it promised.
This is brilliant. The lodge overlooks a picturesque lake, complete with resident nesting ducks. There is a kitchen / dining / sitting area, along with a generous-sized bedroom (four poster bed) and separate bathroom. Upon our arrival we found scones, jam and cream waiting for us and a lovely welcoming note. We met our hosts the next morning, and we loved hearing about how they had built the lodge themselves. Definitely one of the best we have ever stayed in.

The cabin was situated on a private lake which offered peace and serenity, the setting was so beautiful we found it difficult to leave the cabin to explore the surrounding area. We have two dogs and they were free to roam to their hearts content. A wonderful holiday was enjoyed by us all.

United KingdomThe road, layby going down from the main road is too much gravel with the bike which is a safety hazard but more preference really than the actual lodge.
Location was perfect, a nice getaway which it was I very much needed to be alone.

It was ideal for us to have time away. It was warm and comfortable and had all we needed. The grounds outside were perfect for our dogs and it was remote enough for us to have privacy. The cream tea on arrival was a real treat.

United KingdomThe only slight problem was the internet was slow, this was clearly pointed out by the owner in the welcome book and is not their fault at all. You could still get everything you need on the internet just slower than some will be used to.
It was lovely and comfortable. Great location with easy access to all points of Cornwall. The owner Vanda was welcoming and friendly. There was a lovely cream tea waiting for me on arrival. All information about the property was in a welcome book. It was clean and cosy and a lovely view of the large pond. Great for solo travellers and couples. There was a veranda to sit on in the evenings though I didn’t use it as the weather was not great being March it was rather wet. The lodge is located down a small road and not too far from the main house should you need anything. It was quiet and relaxing. Directions to property were given by the owner and these were clear and precise.

United KingdomThe decking was a tad slippery when wet.
What a beautiful setting and so peaceful! We were welcomed by Vanda, such a caring and kind lady. Vanda had prepared a wonderful homemade cream tea for us! Tony, Vanda’s husband, had put lovely fairy lights up around the outside of the lodge and on two small trees on the decking. A Christmas wreath adorned the outside of the lodge door. It all looked so pretty! Inside, Vanda had decorated the the bed posts and had various Christmas wreathes and flowers dotted around, which we really appreciated. There were thoughtful additions, like doggy towels and covers for the sofa, hot water bottles, towels and flannels, Vanda had thought of everything we could need! The lodge was incredibly well insulated and so was nice and warm and cosy inside. There was plenty of wardrobe and drawer space and the lodge had an ironing board, iron and hairdryer. It was fully equipped for cooking, with an oven and hob, crockery, cutlery, glasses, cooking pans and utensils and cleaning materials. There was a fridge, a T.V and some books and videos. The heating was more than adequate and the lodge had such a lovely feel, with beautiful views of the lake and trees and lots of wildlife. We took our dog walks around the lake and enjoyed the lovely plants and vegetation. We wished we were able to stay longer but we will come back during the spring, to fully appreciate the flowers and trees.

United KingdomUnfortunately, when it rained and then stopped the rain dripping off the tree above the bedroom onto the roof was very loud. If you are a heavy sleeper (like my partner) then it won’t bother you at all! Other than that it was a perfect stay.
Very secluded and easy to get to. Self contained and had all the items you would need to be self sufficient for the week. Very comfortable bed & sofa. WiFi was strong in the living room to stream Netflix, but would drop out in the bedroom. Lovely surprise of a cream tea on arrival. Heating worked great and the lake was a bonus should you want to stretch your legs for a wonder.
