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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomWe had a wonderful experience during our stay at the Pods. We visited as a family, and it was truly enjoyable. As highlighted in the booking details, guests need to bring their own bedding and essentials, so going prepared is key to a comfortable stay. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. In fact, when my 4-year-old had a minor accident and needed first aid, a member of staff personally accompanied us to the nearest pharmacy and stayed until she was certain he was fine. This thoughtful gesture spoke volumes about the care and hospitality provided. Thankfully, it was just a small injury and we were able to continue with our plans to explore Windermere without worry. The location itself is breathtaking—surrounded by lush greenery with a serene stream running through the property, it felt like a little piece of heaven. It was the perfect setting for a peaceful and memorable family getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and tranquil stay in the heart of nature, with staff who truly care about their guests.

United KingdomIt would be nice to have an indoor table. The water pressure in the toilet sink was too strong, which would wet everywhere even just to wash our hands. I was trying to get a cup of water from the tap, but the pressure shot all the water from the cup away. However, some showers' pressure was a little weak.
The location was good as it was very close to Windermere. The price was a bargain in this area. The pod was clean and warm. Mattresses were comfortable. Check-in instructions and information were very clear.

We had a great time at this charming camping site. It was a unique experience, and being dog-friendly, we were able to bring our little dog, who loved it! The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made our stay even better. Highly recommend this place!

United KingdomCould do with sanitary bins in toilets for females. Other than that the site was faultless.
Site was immaculate, great facilities. Booked early September and had a nice quiet break. There are usually school children staying at the activity centre during the rest of the year but the week we chose was very peaceful. Staff were very helpful. Beautiful place surrounded by trees with a babbling steam. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating area too!

United KingdomA table or shelf in the rooms would be a great addition as I was concerned the kids or dog would knock over drinks that we had to put on the floor however maybe more experienced campers would bring there own. Next time we will.
It was our first time away without staying in a conventional hotel but it will not be our last! Everything is so easily accessible and on the evenings it’s lit up just enough to be able to see but can still appreciate the evening dark skies. Location is amazing just a short drive to the local villages.
