How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- 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...).

Verified reviewThe location was great. The cabin had all the essentials.
The sheets and pillows were really scratchy. I had a hard time falling asleep because I was really itchy.

Verified reviewSmall and confortable cottage for à family of four with private kitchen and private toilet.
There was no hot water facility in all taps. We heated water to wash the vessels and to brush our teeth. Common place to have our baths.

Almost all. Our stay at this cottage was disappointing on multiple fronts. The space was extremely small, and the structure itself felt very old and poorly maintained. There were no windows in the bathroom, which made it feel damp and uncomfortable, and the shower was located outside in the camping area—far from convenient or private. To make matters worse, the cottage we were initially given did not include a kitchenette, despite it being clearly described in the listing. Only after our repeated insistence was the accommodation changed to one that matched the promised features. Considering the lack of basic amenities, the outdated condition of the property, and the hassle we experienced, the price was absolutely not justified. The service did not align with what was advertised, and overall, the experience felt unfair and misleading.

Verified reviewNices cottages, good beds, comfortable. We had a nice stay. The staff was helpful when it turned out no stove was available.
There is no stove, despite the info on booking. And more surprising: it still hasn't been updated. It shouldn't be that hard.

Verified reviewThe cottage included all basic things we needed.
I didn’t manage to take a shower in the morning because there were too many people and just 1-2 showers.

Verified reviewVery friendly staff, nice cabins.
No showers in the cabins. You have to go to reception to get a towel and que to shower. It is my second time at this location and I have forgotten about my first-time experience. I will not book cabins in the future because being washed and clean is a big deal for me=)

Verified reviewYour own little cabin with private toilet and kitchenette for a night. Perfect for an overnight stay, not comfortable enough for longer stays. Good beds though!! Plenty of heating (not needed on our lucky sunny day). Very friendly staff at reception, showers for free in campsite building.
We are tall Dutch. We kept banging our heads in the doorways, that are way too low…

Verified reviewThe cottage is quite comfortable, but it feels a bit overpriced considering the limited number of toilets and the fact that they’re located outside from the cottage. Location is good. It would be better if there were more toilets
