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 Yurt is a beautiful place to stay! The place is cozy and perfect to spend with your partner. The area is quiet but it’s so nice to just relax, chill and have no responsibilities! We spoke to a guy from the farm and he was so lovely! The hosts were very helpful and answered every message we had sent them, we would 100% recommendation staying here if you have the chance.

United KingdomThis wasn't an issue for us as we are heavy sleepers, but there was a squeaky sound from the skylight whenever the wind picked up so just a note that maybe bring earplugs if you're a lighter sleeper!
Everything was so serene and perfect! The bed was one of the comfiest beds we've ever slept on! The location was perfect for Colchester zoo but still far enough away from everything that you still felt like you had your privacy. The fairy lights were such a nice touch and made it very cozy! Even with the weather we still very much enjoyed ourselves and we will be back! It was gurt yurt 🤩

United KingdomThe electric tripped a few times but the owners were very apologetic and these things happen , they also sorted it straight away . Unfortunately the heaters hadn’t been switched on prior out 6.30 on arrival so on an icy night it was extremely cold for an hour , however it was lovely and warm after this . It would have benefited to have water ready in the container for immediate use when it was cold . The toilets were 150 M across the field which we did know about however being a freezing night we got cold quickly . The lights were pretty and calming however I needed the head torch on (provided) to see to cook food . The little touches like the supply of essentials were nice however the ketchup in fridge was mouldy .
We loved how cosey and cute the yurt was and the setting was beautiful . The little touches like hot water bottles were cute . Lots of cosey blankets and some games to play for entertainment. Pretty lights and plenty of amenities for simple cooking . Friendly owners and very helpful when the electric tripped. Clear instructions for self checkin . Defo will be back .

United KingdomIt was quite hard to locate from the main road, the sign was really small and as we arrived when the sun was setting it was hard to see (it's the first road on the right as you come off the A12). The mugs available were like camping mugs so the handles were too hot to hold when we made drinks so we had to wait before we could bring them to the bed/outside.
The yurt is very cute, quite spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The location was perfect, so peaceful and was lovely to watch the moon and stars in the evening. The Dyson heater was perfect and kept us warm. There were milk and eggs, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Shower and toilet area was really clean.

The bathroom being 150m away could be an issue for some but we didn’t mind as the property was such good value for money. Very clean and modern bathroom facilities. Lovely, friendly, easily contactable hosts. Highly recommend.

United KingdomSlightly muddy but we will remember to pack our wellies next time we visit!
Romantic and secluded it was the perfect getaway for a relaxed weekend away for two. Room was so cosy and warm, deceivingly roomy and the yurt was fully stocked with blankets, coffees and board games we took full advantage of! There was campfire equipment provided which we enjoyed very much as we ordered some pizzas and sat by the fire. The owners were very friendly and provided all information we needed via text and we had a nice chat with the land owner who recommended a lovely local pub to eat at. Could not recommend enough.

What a hidden gem, such a romantic place, so peaceful and tranquil. The owners had thought of everything, even leaving us some charcoal for a bbq which was brilliant when we arrived. Really comfortable accommodation and spotlessly clean throughout, as were the shared bathroom facilities.

United KingdomThe only thing we could think of would be an electric kettle and firelighters, lighter fluid and matches for the barbecue and firepit.
The Yurt was beautifully presented with nice little touches like eggs for brekkie, eye masks to sleep, and blankets, which we used while sitting by the firepit. The bathroom facilities were really good too, with toiletries there for us to use. This was our first Yurt experience and we would definitely recommend. 😊

United KingdomOnly a minor critique but when we arrived the BBQ utensils were not cleaned so we gave it a pre-scrub. The kettle was cute in size but it did take around 30mins to boil water for tea.
The Yurt was in the corner of the field, creating a complete private area to enjoy the stay. Everything was provided from bedding, torches, and drinking water tap to cooking utensils. After our BBQ, we went for an easy walk to Messing, the next town about 35min away. When we came back, we put the fire pit on before heating up our pre-made dinner on the electric stove. We wanted to play some of the board games (and even brought some of our own!) But time must have flown so quickly that we were ready for bed. The shared bathroom is about 5min walk, and is probably the cleanest camping bathroom I've ever seen! This definitely made the stay more comfortable. The Yurt was a great experience to just disconnect and enjoy the countryside with everything prepared by the owners. I really appreciated all the small touches they've thought of.

United KingdomThis did not affect our enjoyment at all but there was a low level hum in the distance late at night which I assume was the planes from Stanstead. . This was actually quite a comforting sound.
Lovely rural location. Yurt was nice and big and a really nice surprise as it had electric, a fridge and was a lovely size and well presented. Very clean and bed was very comfortable. Nicely presented bathroom a short walk from the yurt. This was In corner of well kept field with lovely countryside round it, the dog loved running about and having fun with his toys! Appreciated drinking water tap outside. Nice touches here and there like eggs, skewers for marshmallows, etc Lots of wood provided for fire pit. Lovely
