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 floor of the decking was a little slippery so just had to be careful. Light broke during the stay and the tap took for ever to heat up. But it didn’t bother us.
The location was really nice and peaceful. The lodge and site were really clean.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like although a couple of minor things to point out, the oven wouldn’t heat up enough, followed the instruction manual but still wouldn’t heat up past 120ish and there was no hand soap. Didn’t impact our stay as it was still a brilliant place and we just used our shower gel instead. Signal was pretty much non existent (not the properties fault at all so not holding that against anyone- but again didn’t impact us massively.)
The property was lovely. Quiet area, extremely clean, very easy instructions to follow for arriving/leaving. Our first time staying somewhere like this and it was really enjoyable. Plenty of room for a family of 4. The lodge was a lot warmer than we were expecting too which was good. Towels were provided for 4 people which was good and the kitchen had basic items, which again was great for us. Would 100% recommend this place to people.

United KingdomI don’t think there was anything I didn’t like.
The location was perfect and quiet. The hot tub was great in the nights. There were great safety measures to make sure no kids were able to leave the balcony. Cars weren’t driving fast due to the signs. Was easy to find. Bed was comfy. It was like a home away from home

United KingdomHalf a toilet roll left for a family of 4. No washing up liquid when stated washing up materials available (granted a tea towel & sponge/scourer were available). Shower temperature setting would not adjust, so showers were all at 37 Deg C (a little chilly).
Peaceful, quiet location. The lodge was very clean & the hot tub spotless. Best night's sleep in a while!

United KingdomThe shower was constantly fluctuating temperature from luke warm to cold, no matter how we attempted to set temperature. There were no instructions to explain correct use. Also in guest info it said you would incurr cost if a call out to lodge was not needed, so as it may have been simply human error of unknowing correct way to set temperature we were reluctant to call them out in case we ended up with substantial cost!
Lovely clean Lodge, good facilties in Lodge and hot tub was lovely. Beautiful location.

United KingdomThe water pressure in the sinks for hot water was terrible. Some lights didnt have bulbs although on the lights above our bed we were told that they werent fitted yet. The shower as impressive as it looked wasnt up to scracth. we had to google it to see how it worked and even then the temperature wouldnt settle. We have staued in other lodges in Kaowood and didnt have these problems. Overall the whole lodge was dark. However saying that we still enjoyed our stay.
We always have a good time when we visit Kaowood Country Park which is why we have booked again for next year. We also like Wales and use Kaowood as a base to visit local towns and villages

United Kingdomno steps to get in and out of the hot tub which is very dangerous as the decking gets so slippery. the hot tub lights did not work so had to use our phone lights for light as it was pitch black outside. no hot water inside the property, had to shower in cold water all weekend.
was very private and cosy, 5 minute drive to the shops and 25 minute drive to Tenby.

United Kingdom- Lack of recycling facilities within the lodge/site, took our recycling home.
- The location is perfect, easy drive there and out of the way. - The lodge had different takeaway brochures which delivered to the site, perfect if you wanted to order in. - Took our dog and there was a forrest walk behind the lodges, stunning walk each morning and so peaceful. - The lodge was clean and was full of everything needed, such as pots, toaster, pans, cutlery etc. - Even though many lodges on site, it was super peaceful and each lodge has its own privacy. - Hot tub is checked each morning and was super clean and hot! Will definitely be returning in the future!
