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...).

Isle of ManThat we couldn’t stay longer as we had to move on!
We normally opt for a Premier Inn Hotel on our travels but decided to try something different. We were very pleased with The Lodge. It was exactly as described if not better. With a lovely warm & friendly welcome from our hosts. The Lodge was exceptional clean and well presented, with quirky decor and very comfy bed. We were booked in for one night as we had originally planned to move North, but decided to book an extra night as we were lucky to find such a gem, plus the location was easy to have a day trip out and explore. Would highly recommend.

Kerry was very welcoming and the lodge was a perfect base for my two night trip. Kerry has thought of everything and even provided a Dyson fan for the extreme heat we had over the weekend. I will be booking the lodge in the future when i return to Wales. Thanks Kerry and family for a wonderful stay.

Fantastic property, kitted out with everything you'd need for your stay - Kerry was very communicative and helped us with directions to the property. Breakfast was a fantastic bonus which got us energised for our day of hiking. We were only there for one night but it would be a fantastic base for a longer stay. Would definitely stay there again if we were over that way

United KingdomThe wifi signal could be strengthened a bit.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I booked but was very pleased with our stay. It's cozy in a good way. It doesn't feel too small and is perfect for a couple having a quiet break. It's bigger than it looked in the photos especially the bedroom. Everything is good spec. and it was very clean. The location is excllent being very close to the riverside and some nice walks. One review I read prior to booking mentioned it was just a converted garage. That's technically true but also a bit mean spirited after seeing it for ourselves. It's very well done and I think it's former use is now irrelevant. The hosts are great and the dogs are beautiful.

United KingdomIt's a very cosy property that may initially take some mindful movement to get around. That aside, it's a wonderful little place to stay, especially if you're looking for a quiet getaway for a few days. Kerry and Mark are some of the most conscientious hosts my partner and I have ever had the pleasure to stay with. The property is kept spotless, breakfast supplies are plentiful, and they will do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are a lovely couple, and I can not recommend them or The Lodge enough. If you ever need anything during your stay you can drop them a message via the app or WhatsApp and they will do what they can to accommodate. There's pans, a fan, a fresh change of pillows and sheets on request, fairly easy parking, and a full set of cutlery. There's also an honesty box system for wine and beer available in The Lodge. If I'm ever down in the region for work or otherwise, this is my first port of call. Thankyou both for being so kind to us. Also, there are two small dogs that stay in the main house. They're very friendly. Rusty will try and cuddle you... a lot. Willow is much more bashful, but still likes a cooch. They are adorable.

United KingdomWe liked everything.
A clean energy location, surrounded by rivers and nature, perfect for regeneration of the spirit. Good options for breakfast and the hosts were lovely & happy to replenish anything that ran out. The Lodge was cosy & comfy with lovely extras like, fluffy robes to chill out in, interesting decor and We did some walks some days and some days just lounged around in luxury, in front of the fire. It was so lovely we stayed an extra night!
