How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewA delightful A-frame retreat, perfect for a quick and peaceful escape. There’s nothing quite like a cozy fire to warm up a chilly winter evening.

Verified reviewWe had a fabulous stay in the Maple Cabin at Treehaven Retreat. The Cabin was cozy and perfect for a romantic couples getaway! Even though it was freezing outside, we were warm and snug inside at night with the indoor fireplace going and comfy bed upstairs. Awesome fire-heated hot tub on the deck and situated in a beautiful place. Loved that there was no TV inside, and we got to enjoy each other's company. Great wifi signal at the cabin and all the basic amenities you need for a lovely stay, including a hot shower! Thank you for a wonderful stay. 🙏🏻

Verified reviewThe accomodation is beautiful with great views. Clean and neat. Equipped with essentials suitable for a self-catering weekend stay. The facility manager RIchard was also amazing showed us all we needed to know on arrival and was helpful whenever we needed something.
The parking at our accommodation was quite steep making it a bit of a mission when we have to go out, making turns and all. But we managed.

Verified reviewI stayed at Treehaven Retreat from in April 2025 and had a truly rejuvenating solo getaway. What stood out most was the abundance of firewood that kept the place warm and welcoming, adding to the already cozy charm of the space. The host, Richard, was incredibly hospitable and made the experience feel personal and cared for.
If I had one caution, it would be the steep stairs to the loft bed—they were quite tricky to navigate, especially when tired. Something to be aware of, particularly for those with mobility concerns. Overall, I would definitely recommend Treehaven Retreat to nature lovers, solo travelers, and couples looking for a serene, off-the-grid experience. It’s a perfect spot to breathe deeply and slow down.
