Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Great little spot for families for the price. Kids loved the water park n trampoline. However rooms needs a bit more better quality furnishings, one chair fell apart when sat on it, it could have ended badly. A vacuum or broom in each room is also required as always bringing sand home. The laundry mat to clean your clothes is also expensive so make sure to bring lots of gold coins for that ! But otherwise it was a great little short stay accomadation for a family of 4. Thanks 😊

I HATED the way the beds were made, only fluffy blankets for the bunks and a really small quilt in between three sheets instead of in a cover, and you move 2mm and it made a huuuuge noise, not good when trying to be quiet with sleeping babies in the same room. Also the laundry was pretty dreary and dirty and the machines don’t lock so anybody can just come and take your stuff out and put there’s in so their clothes are dry (then put our stuff back in sopping wet) happened to us twice, it just shouldn’t happen, especially when you’re paying for it, very frustrating! I ended up going to another place in town to get all my clothes washed and dried properly
I love the set up and how great it was for kids to burn off energy

The only criticism (which isn’t even really their fault) is that it’s far enough from town to make walking impractical, which meant we had to drive more than we would have liked.
Our deluxe lakeside cabin was much more spacious than we anticipated and the facilities for kids (pools, splash park, bouncing pillow) were unreal. The fact that Folk is at the entrance was a great bonus for us coffee lovers.

Far away from the city, beach, food etc., so if you don’t have a car or bike, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. There was also no WiFi in our safari tent, which was not ideal.
Nice clean place, with good facilities. The grill on the porch was nice.

WiFi didn't work in cabin. When booking it said property had WiFi, it needs to be clearer that cabins are not guaranteed to have WiFi as this caused inconvenience with work call. Bunk bed room could do with a carpet clean, bunks were quite springy, so we needed to put doona under for padding. However overall a good stay and experience and a nice quiet resort.
Water park, upgrade to 2 bedroom was appreciated, nice spread out park with cabins separate to caravans, Cafe next door really nice.

There is nothing in our control that could improve. The only things that could have been better was the sound and fruit fly control. Sadly the Tv was in so so condition, it glitched a couple of times and didn't have youtube. The main bed was too soft.
I really liked how secure it was . The cabin was cosy, the view was nice and the strict no smoking policy really made a great change towards the atmosphere. Very family friendly, couldn't say it better myself! Also it was near all the lovely places, staff were very nice.

Cabins are nice and large with all items you require to self-cater. They're located in a nice, leafy and quiet part of the park.
