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...).

IrelandNot much room for keeping your belongings in order, but it's ok considering the size of the pod.
Cozy and warm little pod. Very clean. Charming and quiet environment. Very comfortable bed. Kitchenette had all the things we were needed.

United KingdomWe booked for 5 people into 2 pods, however there were no additional bedding or pillows that could have been used on the sleeper couch.
We loved the location, was really very pretty. Small touches on arrival were appreciated like some farm eggs and milk in the fridge and a bottle of Prosecco!

United KingdomArea is quite remote and yes booking.com gave us the wrong code for entry to get access to the property and we went out for three first day before checking in and we were locked out for over a hour we tried calling the emergency contact number s provided we had no answer until a hour later. It was about 8pm in the evening and my daughter and myself were were covered in bites as there were countless midges about biting the daylights out of us. Until finally management answered our call as my older daughter was trying to get someone to help us when finally someone came and gave us the correct entry code and we finally got in. We were comfortable after that drama and had a comfortable enjoyable stay.
I loved the wooden cabins the beautiful surroundings the scenic walks nature and the comfort of the cabin

United KingdomCan't think of anything to dislike.
The location was out in the wilds of nature and exactly what we were looking for. We were very pleasantly surprised to find our host had left us milk and eggs. Lovely touch. Colin came and introduced himself and we had a really interesting conversation. He advised that mint keeps the midges/flies away and there was a mint plant on our veranda. Just tuck a leaf behind your ear and you're good to go! Excellent! Very warm wee pod - We stayed in Woodpecker. Parking was at the end of a short path and quite adequate. Fire pit was available with wood delivered on request by host, but we didn't avail of it due to warmth of weather. Eco friendly.
