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 KingdomThere was a tiny stain on the sheet but nothing major.
The property was exceptional and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. I had asked for the staff to put up birthday banners on arrival for my others half’s birthday they went above and beyond and even gave her a birthday card and box of chocolates as well as the banners. The property was clean and very cute perfect for a romantic getaway. There was adequate facilities and the you had your own hot tub and garden facilities!

United KingdomLoved it all.
Absolutely everything! Private parking, a short walk to the pods, the jacuzzi was already a light for us when we arrived. The unorthodox request I asked for was met 😂. The place was lit up at night with beautiful angel lights. Very quiet and comfortable. Contactless entry so there wasn’t any awkwardness after a long trip. It was just perfect! Very well maintained too! Me and the misses will absolutely be coming back in the summer!

United KingdomThe hot-tub takes a bit of work to get to the right temperature with the wood burner (for the novices we are) and we did need to get more wood from the local garage. Instructions were clear but don't go expecting electric versions that regulate temperature and provide bubbles.
Lovely location - 1 of just 3 pods. Nice to relax without a TV or radio background.

United KingdomWouldn’t change a thing
The lodge was absolutely gorgeous, so tidy, clean and cosy. Lighting our own fire to heat the hot tub was fun and we sat in it everyday despite some of the cloudy weather! The bed was great, the cuddle couch was perfect, the water pressure in the shower was top notch and the mini kitchen was perfect for us to make a couple of big meals and some picnics. Thank you for decorating for my boyfriends birthday too. Check in was contactless and easy but they replied to any questions we had very fast. The location was great, if you need any inspo for what to do: we ran to the nearby village and got a coffee, drove to Bala to go on the steam train, went to Dysperth waterfall, and took a very windy stroll on Talacare beach to see the lighthouse.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like. There was one cobweb in the pod above the door vent but hey, it’s glamping in and around nature what do you expect and that’s really stretching to find something to pick up on as it really didn’t bother us at all. We genuinely loved our stay.
The customer service was exceptional from the moment we booked to when we got home after check out. Nothing was too much trouble. They asked what time we would be checking in which meant the hot tub was at a perfect temperature on arrival. The book of local area information was really helpful and it also included useful information on how to drain, refill and heat the hot tub. The location was easy to find and only 10 minutes away from the local town with bars and restaurants. We will 100% be back and our friends even booked today for their get away in May as we couldn’t stop telling everyone about our beautiful, peaceful stay.

United KingdomThe only downside was that two nights was way too short a stay.
It has been about over a month since I visited the Ayr Pod at Emlyn’s Coppice, and I am still dreaming about returning to the most exquisitely peaceful stay surrounded by idyllic nature that I could have imagined in a camping pod. It was my idea of luxury - underfloor heating, en-suite, Japanese-style hot tub, private garden with a little pond inhabited by a proud moorhen. I reckon every angle has been covered, every eventuality prepared for - from a BBQ tool kit to natural eco-wood wool firelighters to get the wood burner and rotenburo lit with minimum effort. Our stay fell on my birthday, and there was some touching surprises awaiting my arrival, and that was even more icing on the camping cake. I can't wait to return.

United KingdomNo complaints from us.
We loved our stay at Emlyn's Coppice. It was the perfect getaway from the stresses of a working week. The wood-fired hot-tub was brilliant. It take's some warming up, I would advise taking a few bags of dried kiln wood and kindling with you to keep the hot-tub warm throughout a full weekend break. You can walk to Talacre Beach in about 40 minutes via the public footpath which can be found directly opposite the entrance to Emlyn's Coppice. We stayed in the pod called Orme, which is the larger of the three pods. We will be back again!
