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 plastic mattress and the bed in general were very uncomfortable and too small for 2 adults it was too cramped. Also make sure to pack toilet roll as there isn't any provided neither things would put me off going back though
Beautiful views and very nice and quiet. Lots of nice hike paths and loved the fire pit Loved seeing all the horses and sheep Nice amount of space between the cabins. We will definitely stay there again

United KingdomMy niece and nephew loved the pod and myself also. It was lovely and clean and very comfortable for the 3 of us. The kids loved playing outside and also playing in the woods behind the pod. It rained most of the day and night we were there but we had our waterproofs and midge nets so we still had a good time.

United KingdomNot a huge amount within the owner's control (midges - bring good repellent), although a laminate sheet with a brief explainer for appliances (heater) and information on the grounds for walks etc. might be a nice touch. Perhaps a heated towel rack in the bathroom, too, if I was being picky.
The location and scenery are stunning and the owners were friendly and responsive. The beds, kitchen and bathroom were great and as expected, and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor space to move around / for storage for a family of 4 (with baby). It was a nice touch to leave fire wood for the firepit. I read reviews about a lack of mobile signal but I was getting 5G (on 3), which was handy. The grounds, stable and estate are stunning.

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay at Glamping Pod 2 Magical Craigengillan Estate! Our little pod was warm, cozy and had all the facilities we needed for a night away from home. The location was beautiful, the view was breathtaking and the experience of having breakfast next to horses was definitely unforgettable. Communication with the host was excellent and we'll definitely be back!

United KingdomEverything was great
Absolutely loved this place! The location was stunning, and our pod was spotless and super cozy. The host was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. We forgot to bring pillows, and she brought us two without hesitation—such a lifesaver! I requested flowers and 40th birthday balloons for my girlfriend, and she did us this favor perfectly. It started raining after 6-7 pm, and the little sound of raindrops on the pod was so relaxing and made us feel super cozy. So it doesn’t matter if it’s sunny or rainy—you’ll enjoy it perfectly. The thoughtful touches and beautiful view made our stay unforgettable. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to friends!
