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...).

CroatiaOnly 2 toilets for a lot of people getting up st the same time. Also, it would be better if there was a toilet booth closer to the pods.
The pods are great. Some has better used space than the other (depending on table position)

PolandSome bathrooms and kitchens a bit dated and not very private (which of course was expected so not a big deal for us).
The pod was fantastic, very cozy and warm, perfect for a shorter stay even in the middle of winter. The area was also stunning and the hot tubs definitely made it a relaxing stay!

AustriaThe light in the shower/ changing room at the hot tubs didn‘t work. That the wifi is available in shared areas. Could add some basic things to the kitchen like oil and baking paper
Super cute & cozy camping pods, nice to have hot tubs very good area to see Aurora if the weather is good. Troll hike next to it is a nice activity.

Czech RepublicFor future guests: Please remember to clean up after yourselves in the shared spaces (kitchen, showers). The staff cleans regularly, but this is not an all-inclusive hotel, and others use these facilities too.
Very friendly personnel, new and clean facilities and cozy accomodation with a possibility to park your car right next to your pod.

HungaryOne busier time there was no warm water and the water pressure was not great in the shower.
Everything was super clean, the pods are very cute and cozy with hearting and a mini fridge. Friendly staff and the location is mesmerizing with a waterfall just behind the restaurant. Hot tubs are available and breakfast was also great.

CroatiaThe accommodation exceeded all my expectations. Even though the houses look small, they have everything you need. Despite the fact that it was very cold and snowing, the houses were very comfortable. I would also like to commend the kindness of the staff at the reception. The kitchen and bathrooms are very clean.

FranceFew ameliorations about these leads: Need to be clear about kitchen rules for collective aéra, we saw many people don't care about property, didn't care about dishes.... Collective kitchen is a great option. The little pod (we got the 14th) is really good but tiny a bit. I guess a little "SAS" to put shoes and other stuff could be great 👍
We loved Fossatún's crew and his location, bathroom was very clean, our pod was lovely cosy and special Oscar for Hot Tub, great surprise .

PortugalThe only thing I think it should be taken in consideration are the strong lights they have outside the common areas. These lights are not helpfull when watching the northern lights, so we had to distance ourselves a little bit to see them better.
The pods are great. The location is super nice, great to see northern lights.

Czech RepublicIt's not the cleanest place have to say, dust in pods and a bit messy public showers, but for the price with the location it's something you can live with.
Very nice place, we even saw the northern light, pods were really lovely, nicely smelling, cosy, very good breakfast worth the price definitely. The location is great, nice for walks around.
