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 KingdomThe Lapwing lodge was dated, had marked carpets and a damp smell upon entry. The fixtures and fittings could do with an update however given the price did not complain.
Was perfectly situated for the Mach festival only a 10minute drive away! All rooms were a good size and accommodated the 10 people easily between two properties. The Heron lodge was lovely would book this again.

United KingdomWe stayed in one of the Herons apartments, the apartment really lovely. They are 2two things what we didn't like and the Resort can improve are the cleaning and maintenance. In the bedroom with the single beds the mattress springs were deformed, so it wasn't very comfortable for sleeping. Around the apartment almost everywhere there were dust on the night side lamps and the toilet sit downstairs was not clean at all. But we didn't consider to complain because we had two more bathrooms with toilets. Otherwise everything else was very good. The information in the apparent very useful, good WiFi in the dinning and kitchen.
Recently we visited the Resort, our family absolutely love it. Our view from the apparent stunning. Very friendly and helpful staff.The location of the resort is good up to 50min traveling by car you can visit many nice places. Restaurant was good, friendly staff as well. The snooker room we love it.Beautiful nature around, even staying only in the resort you have plenty entertainments for the family. Indoor pool and souna very good, the jacuzzi wasn't working but was ok. We had namy other things to do such as indoor badminton, table tennis, range of many bord games. The most surprising thing was we had souna in one of our bathrooms absolutely We love it.We really enjoyed our stay. We are definitely recommending the place is super suitable for families and friends with pets.

United KingdomWhen we first arrived our accommodation had scaffolding on both sides so the view from the windows was scaffolding. When we went back to reception we asked if we could move to another apartment, they were very nice and moved us and we were very happy how they dealt with it.
It was in a lovely setting ideal for places to go in snowdonia. The accommodation was spacious and very quiet with great views from our lounge.
