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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomDon’t mind the compost toilet but it would be great if there was a bit more ventilation! Would be lovely for there to be an outdoor shower in the yurt area and the facilities are a long way away and it would just add a really special touch.
Location, beds, kitchen area, general feel of the yurt and decking area all wonderful. The solar charging was so useful.

United KingdomShowers could have been hotter and a bit more powerful. There should be a sign on the gates to the yurts stating that the toilet is for the use of yurt customers only, we went out a number of times and shut the gate, only to find that when we returned it was open and the toilet had been used and left dirty.
Little things included in the price were good, for example the coins for the showers etc.

Really comfortable stay, bed very comfy and the facilities were a very good standard around the yurt, cooker worked well and had everything I needed. Daily air show was really good entertainment as well! One thing I would do next time is take a deck chair to enjoy the view from the decking!! Great week thanks very much.

United KingdomThe Syke Farm campsite is totally fabulous and the yurts are one of my favourite places to stay ever! Most peaceful location you could imagine, super close to the mountains and lakes, very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Will, who runs the place is also exceptionally helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Can’t wait until my next visit!

United KingdomNothing. Loved it.
The yurt was so cosy and well kept. Lots of thought had been put into it. The facilities were great with running water in an outside kitchen area so you could clean up. There was even a hob for cooking on if you didn’t want to have a BBQ. There is a compost toilet if you wish to use it however the toilet block isn’t far away. Great pubs and restaurants close by too.

United KingdomDisappointed with the cooler situation for food. It says on the website that there is a large cooler that just needed ice / ice packs. We took ice and ice packs that where still solid when we arrived and placed them inside the cooler; however by the following day, everything was warm, ice was completely melted and some food had to be thrown away. We stayed for 3 nights (2 full days), we wouldn't be able to stay for longer without going to the local pub / cafe. It has been particularly warm recently but i do think this is something that should be addressed as this effected the stay quite a bit.
I cannot express enough how beautiful the location is, with amazing views and stunning local walks. Situated in the perfect place! The yurt was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. The addition of the boardgame Scrabble was a nice touch. We visited the local pub and cafe - food was delicious! The wildlife in the area is amazing!!
