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 staff at the resort wasn't as helpful as I would have hoped. There where a lot of young girls and boys on the leisure desk which always seemed like we was interrupting them when asking for help or advise. The Lodge we stayed in was beautiful excellent space it's wasn't as clean as I would have expected for the money we paid however the location and the cleaness of the hot tub out weighed that. The shower still had marks on the tiles and the mirrors had smudge marks on, there was a lot of dust and fair balls under the couches and someone's tshirt, in the main bed room there was a pair of ladies underwear must have been from previous people however maybe should have been checked as for nearly £2000 you should expect it to be cleaned through out. But where it was situated was just perfect so relaxing would definitely go again minus the few issues the location and hot tub was perfect.
The site was absolutley stunning, the Lodge where we stayed was situated in the perfect location, the hot tub was immaculate. There is plenty to do on the site.

United KingdomThe property appeared clean but behind the en suite door along the skirting there was a build up of dust and hair. Also when we shut the door under the television cupboard a huge mound of hair wafted out. It was disgusting.
Loved the cabin being in the corner. Decor and furnishings were good.

United KingdomToo much information & often from different sources. Information often conflicted. Booking.com, Bookalet, Finlake Resort, Devon Holidays & Cabin owners all need to get together and sort out a SINGLE point of contact and a SINGLE set of conditions for everything. Being threatened with charges for damage & cleanliness or excessive use of gas/electric before we even arrived! Stains on the carpet and damage to the floor under the table. damage to the inside of a bathroom door. We took photos before we unpacked! Oven light not working. We used our phone light to check on the food.
Spacious & well equipped cabin. Generally it was quite clean. Much quieter than we expected, which we liked. Kids at school & not many cabins occupied. Hot tub went down well with most of the group. Kitchen with both a dishwasher & a washing machine was nice but we didn't use either.

United KingdomCleanliness was poor. Doors were even dirty. Drain blocked in shower with horrible smell. Hot tub was ok but could do with a net to get the bugs etc out. Mattress in main bedroom was awful with springs jabbing at you. Floor was thick in dirt, dropped some water on the floor and wiped it up with kitchen roll and it was black. The whole place just needs a really good scrub down. It would be nice if it was cleaned.
Location was great. Facilities at the site were very good. Towels were nice. Good place for dogs.

United KingdomTo start with the constant bombardment of emails, text messages from booking.com, Finlake and then Devon Holidays. Finlake booking system for activities is appalling and had to email for help. Got there eventually. The lodge was not the cleanest, lots of fluff/dirt on ensuite and bathroom floor. The beds are the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in. If you like springs and the crunch of springs everytime you move then this is the place for you! We slept on top of the duvet to add extra padding and then used Duvets from spare beds for cover. There is no frying pan, which I would class as a basic necessity. Bedroom window closest to hot tub does not open. Latches on three internal doors are broke (two of which are wardrobe doors) and the door between lounge and hallway. When we arrived the whole decking was covered in leaves and steps up were ankle deep in leaves. Contacted Devon Holidays to try and arrange for someone to clear it or at least arrange for us to use a broom so we safely use the steps and decking as very slippy to be told that wasn't possible and we would have to go out and buy a broom, clear it ourselves and send the receipt in. Have done that and still no response. They tried to claim house keeping had cleared all the leaves the day before which is absolutely not true given how bad it was and wet decomposing leaves had not been there just 24hrs. The PlayStation doesn't work, not a biggie for us but a warning for those expecting to use it. The hot tub appeared clean and was heated but in the 4 nights we were there not once were the chemical levels checked and when I pulled the filter out on the last night it was pretty dirty. Masses of potential but for the money we paid these things should be sorted
The lodge has huge potential, great size, particularly as there were only two of us. Lovely site

United KingdomDecking was very slippery due to mildew, lamp in living room didn’t work, ceiling light in double bedroom didn’t work very well, wish they had provided sweeping brush and not just vacuum cleaner, only could park 1 car on the drive and the other one in the main car park - there was definitely space to fit 2 vehicles on the driveway
The road is very nice with lots of privacy, large rooms, 2 bathrooms, hot tub, privacy, storage options, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, towels and bedding provided, sofas were large and comfortable, dining table with chairs, large living room tv, utensils and cutlery provided, Finlake was a beautiful place and in a great location

United KingdomPet hairs in carpet and along skirting boards. Windows covered in hand prints. Nowhere to hang towels to dry . The online system for booking activities was absolutely appalling and staff not helpful at all, apart from Gemma who managed to sort it for us. The smoke alarms battery needed changing when we got there,took them 3 and 1/2 hours to do that.
Location was great. Hot tub was fantastic. Comfortable and in a quiet spot. Kitchen had everything we needed and dishwasher was a bonus.
