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 KingdomOnly thing that was a minor inconvenience is the toilet/ shower being a little distance from the tent… but this is always the case with glamping so we wouldn’t mark down our rating for that. Shower was really good quality and private for our use so this is far from being a complaint!
The yurt is beautiful! Very well decorated, secluded and comfy. Would advise caution for anyone who has mobility issues as the seating and bed are low to the ground so an older person may have struggled, but it was absolutely perfect for us and we loved everything about our stay. The staff are super friendly and nothing was too much trouble, the food was incredible and we just generally felt very welcome. We will definitely be visiting again!

United KingdomThe bathroom / shower is far from the yurt and not very nice. The yurt can get noisy when there are a lot of people on the pub patio so it's not ideal for a quiet getaway.
The yurt was lovely and dinner at the adjacent pub was great.

United KingdomJust two small downfalls was the toilet and shower having to walk through the pub garden infront of people visiting the pub was quite uncomfortable I suffer with anxiety so didn't feel comfortable walking past them all so found myself holding it in till it was quite and couldn't have a shower till gone 10pm when the garden was shut to the pub gowers as didn't want to walk past in dressing gown and there was nowhere to put your clothes while you shower so expect damp clothes to put back on. Also if it's a hot day it gets extremely hot in there and you only have a tiny window to open on the door or keep the door open but we found child kept coming in and looking at us and the pub gowers could see us in their so maybe a fan would be a great idea..
It was a lovely place very cosy and comfortable definitely great if you want to try something different
