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 KingdomVery nice and cozy! There's also a hot tub available to guests. Nice and dark at night and we saw the aurora even though it was not very strong that night. Highly recommend. The restaurant onsite is also good as well, and they have a full kitchen with everything you need (stoves, microwave, kettle, pots, pans, plate)

ItalyToilets and kitchen cleaness was ok but there is margin for improvement. Toilets were far away from pods, not an huge distance but still not very pleasant with the cold. It would be perfect to have smaller toilets near each cluster of pods

NetherlandsWish the hot tubs had been open in the mornings, too ;)
This camping site is in a magical spot and is great for families. We hadn't planned to book breakfast but did book it when we saw the breakfast room overlooks the spectacular waterfalls. The waterfalls and troll garden are wonderful, we could have spent a lot longer here. The theme is rock 'n troll, so there are heaps of recordings on display which we didn't have the time to explore.

AustriaThe Hot Pools could be a little bit hotter for my taste (as I like it above 38) and with more water flow for better exchanging the water 🙃
We always love to come back to this friendly place with reasonable prices and clean and cosy small cottages with the parking right next to it 🙂

United StatesKitchen could be a bit cleaner and better equipped. Internet seemed to only work around the reception area.
AWESOME place. The pods are rally cool, and just a lovely experience. The location is a real gem. It felt like a scene from "a river runs through it". The troll path is a charming aspect of the property (the father of the owner wrote a book about trolls you can buy at the reception. There are beautiful views from the paths. Overall, this is just a very charming, scenic spot and a delight to stay at. There are also 3 hotpots that open in the evening and are a joy to soak in. Kitchen is rather basic, as are the toilets, showers and the changing rooms. But the overall set up makes it a really memorable place to stay. Would highly recommend. Staff is very friendly and joyful.

IcelandThe cleanliness of the communal kitchen wasn’t perfect. Other people had left their food there and attracted rodents.
Great views from our hotel room of the local waterfall. I loved the short hiking trails behind the property. We stayed in a camping pod one night they had a little separate bedroom. The breakfast was very good.

CanadaI would say that there were not enough showers and the individual shower was not that great (the shower room was too hot, and the white chair not that white). It was average, but I don't spent my life in the shower.
The camping pods are very nice, but it was difficult to get up at 3AM and walk 100 m to get to the toilet (but I could manage)
