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 Kingdomthe port a loos weren’t clean, hot tub water was greenish brown, called twice to get directions and the answers we got weren’t helpful as they didn’t ask which way we’d come into Aberystwyth and just assumed which caused us to drive around for 30 mins looking for flags 🤦🏻♀️ overall wouldn’t recommend as the price is pretty steep for staying in a tent with a dirty hot tub and unclean portaloos.
the location is great. Can’t fault it. Clearly is also a Tipi and hot tub with attached port-a-loos.

United KingdomDirections for finding the place were not clear - details could have been sent using booking.com once we had paid. No sink; only water supply was cold water from a tap on a tree hidden behind the shower (not specified as to whether this was drinking water ?). Although plates were provided there was no basin to wash them in. The only cooking facility was a barbeque. Information about the venue should have made clear that there are no breakfast making facilities and the nearest place that you can buy breakfast is in Aberystwyth. Price paid was too high given the lack of facilities - a hot tub did not make up for the lack of facilities for face washing and cleaning dishes.
Lovely location. Amazing stars at night due to lack of light pollution. Hot tub was good to use.

United KingdomThe grounds needed URGENT maintenence, it was overgrown. The bed was broken and very uncomfortable so you kind of rolled all to one side, not good when there is two of you. .. The portalaloos where disgusting and unclean. The facilities in the tipi where poor,scraps of dirty carpet for flooring, odd random tables. No coat stand so everything had to go on the floor or piled up on the tables. The hot tub, the only thing that was clean! I say sarcastically as it was so full of chemicals we literally couldn't use it. It stang our eyes and burnt our skin. A washing up bowl is provided with all you need for washing up. But no water facilities at all. Overall a very very disappointing experience. 😞
The hot tub was on when we arrived so lovely and warm.

United KingdomEverything, the floor was not clean or have any attempt to be clean. The inner of the tent was covered in mold. The toilet and shower portaloo was not clean either you could tell they had not been used for along time! The bedside table when opened the front of the draw came off. Safe to say me and my partner did not stay the night. We got a last minute hotel a few miles down the road would not recommend this tipi to stay in as you would be let down on arrival.
Nothing!

United KingdomI booked the tipi for 2 nights. We choose this site and paid more money than other places just because the use of a hot tub came with the accommodation but on arrival the hot tub was deflated contained dirty water and debri our tent floor was very dirty from dried mud and had no working lights which made it difficult for us, we got in contact immediately upon arrival to complain and was reluctantly offered the first nights stay in the cottage where we had use of the hot tub (which sadly also needed a clean )but was swiftly told we would have to spend the second night in the tent which on arrival on the second day was still in the same state so had no use of a hot tub for the second day. We conctacted you to find out if there was electricity and told there was, for it to be far away from the tent and outside. The shower/toilet situation. The toilet had a dirty roll in it that had obviously fallen into the toilet (blue dye on it) which made the toilet smell before we had even used it. The shower had no working water. We had no where to brush our teeth or access to any running water. The bbq had no gas (some was brought for us next day) but in all honestly I would not have cooked on it as it was unsafe to use due to the level of dirt and dried on left overs from previous use and rust. contacted property to find out what we would need to bring and told there was plenty there (utensils) and there wasn’t We were also told that it was very private but could hear and see people staying in the cabin behind. Very disappointed with our stay as it was nothing as described. This stay was not luxury as described and over all a very unpleasant stay. As far as I am concerned this is false advertising Rung multiple times and spoke to multiple different people the manager has refused to speak to us and has not called back like promised
The location was not a far drive from Aberystwyth

United KingdomThough advised of where to find the site, there was no signage to indicate the turning required to access it. The entrance is around 0.6/0.7 miles from the roundabout, not 1 mile as advised. Remote staff, though contact number is given if queries arise. There was no paperwork on how to operate the hot tub, barbeque or where to get water from. The shower had no hooks to hang towels or clothes up.
This is glamping, as I expected, so be prepared and the stay is good. I have had the best nights sleep for ages during the stay. The sound of nature during the night.
