Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThe area around the buildings could perhaps do with some TLC - even a strimmer would help it look a bit tidier. The apartment itself was a bit tired in terms of decor, but given the regular residents, this may not be so important. We were only there for a night, so it was more than adequate for what we needed.
It is a quirky venue. Lovely to see the livestock and the friendly dog. Lovely views from the garden across the forest. Corinna was friendly and excellent in her communications. The bed was very comfortable - we actually had a choice of 3 had we felt like it.

Corinna and everyone at the camp were so welcoming, helpful and relaxed and we had a great 3 days there and exploring the surrounding area which has a lot to offer - Puzzlewood, Beechenhurst and go ape adventure treetop walks.

United KingdomI have no complaints as any slight improvements would have bumped up the price.
The property was perfect for what we were looking for which was an affordable place near St Briavels. Corinna was an excellent host who was always at hand as she lived next door. The actually flat had everything that you could expect for the money paid. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. I particularly liked the log fire.

United KingdomThere weren't any kitchen knives, but I think that's because of the target age, didn't ask the host for any though as we were only there a couple of days
Great location, and the grounds kept our curious toddler entertained and was ecstatic with the animals on site. They put birthday bunting up for my husband too.

United KingdomUnfortunately there had been no cleaning under furniture so my dog was constantly picking up chocolate wrappers and I stood on a grape at one point which was not ours… made the mistake of removing cover over the sofa to try and find the remote and it could definitely do with being replaced. The double bed in the main bedroom squeaked so bad every time I moved and got hardly any sleep.
The area is beautiful and the kids were very happy to be able to play on the skate park with scooters and run about. It was lovely to see the free range goats out and about. Staff were friendly.

My kids have said we have to return here as soon as possible for more fun and to take part in more of the available workshops. I could not fault our stay especially for children who are a bit wild.
