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 KingdomNothing stood out to us that we didn’t like!
We stayed here last year and just had to book in again for this year! The lodge is so spacious and is very well equipped. The beds are super comfy and the hot tub is lovely. The owners are so nice and helpful and the staff were always there on site if we needed anything. Will definitely book again for next year :)

United KingdomCouple of small maintenance jobs and TLC required in some areas, feedback given to owners but didn't affect our stay and we would definitely return. Lodge wasn't ready on arrival time requested but we received instant communication after making them aware and it was sorted out quickly.
Fantastic location for exploring the area. Very spacious lodge with comfy beds and lounge areas. We'll equipped and the hot tub and cinema screen was lovely for relaxing. We only used on site bar/restaurant once on arrival waiting to check in. Thanks for the prosecco and cream tea and for checking on us mid stay. Owners who care about their guests.

United KingdomWe felt the cleanliness could’ve been a bit better. This is something done by an external company who have let the owner down which is a shame because the owner is absolutely lovely.
The size of the property is fantastic, so spacious even for a family of 4 plus 2 grandparents and another grandchild. The cinema room and hot tub is absolutely amazing was the perfect room to watch a Christmas movie during our stay at Christmas.

United KingdomWe found the holiday resort itself a bit disappointing. There was a shop, bar and restaurant on site, both extremely expensive. Best to stock up before arrival . We had drinks and food from the bar and restaurant, very expensive and the food was very poor quality . We complained to the manger and he was very helpful. However we did not use the facilities again which was a shame.
Great location . Close to the coast and Padstow Spacious clean lodge with plenty of space for a larger group . Lisa the owner was extremely helpful. The hot tub was great

United KingdomThe staff at Away Resorts when dealing with an onsite issue we had were a little unprofessional at times but they were able to help us rectify the issue still. The restaurant on site is also not great - it didn't matter to us though as the Lodge provided a BBQ!
Lake View Lodge was in the perfect location for us as it meant we could easily travel around Cornwall and visit the places we wanted to see. It is based on a fairly small resort with some lovely walks. The lodge itself it's lovely and spacious and allows so much light on, I can't think of a better way to start my day. The hot tub was delightful for the evenings also. The owners from the moment of booking were amazing and I felt like they couldn't have done more for us. We were traveling with a 1 year from Kent so we're fairly apprehensive but they allowed us to check in early and ensure we had everything we needed.

Beautiful lodge in a beautiful place. The lodge was very clean, had excellent facilities and felt like home from home. The site was clean, had a lovey pool and park. My son particularly loved the flow rider activity. The hosts were very attentive and on hand if we needed anything. Would recommend this lodge to anyone, it was just perfect.

United KingdomNot the house but the location itself needed more signage- location of lodge and where to locate it but we were losing our minds as we had 2 little ones after a long drive so patience was zero.
lovely house, hot tub was a great bonus especially after surfing all day it topped the day off well. It was our first family’s holiday with x2 children. so for us we wanted a place we could relax of an evening. We came down with friends and the house was big enough for all of us.

United KingdomThe host have not had the lodge long, and i understand there is some updating they will be doing, such as lights on the decking - TBH there was nothing to complain about.
Location is fantastic, close to padstow and not far from newquay, perranporth, Port Issac. The resort has a local shop restaurant/Bar Indoor Pool, flow Rider and Beach watersports area (although these are seasonal) We have stayed at Retallic before, hence returning again. There were a few wifi issues, but the hosts were amazing and got this dealt with quickly. Lisa and Ed were very helpful and friendly and so understanding when i text them about things. The lodge was value for money and they welcomed my dog with open arms, which is great. We all had an amazing time and will certainly be back and staying at Ed and Lisa's Lodge. We highly recommend.
