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.).

New ZealandUnfortunately because of the season there were a few ants in the kitchen. But not a major issue...will just remember some spray next time. Oh, and pegs for the washing line. I'm a novice with regards to campsite holidays.
Lovely small park with everything you could need. Perfect facilities for children.

New ZealandThe gear and playground was a little worn but it was comforting and it was safe and the kids loved everything about it as did I. Clear signage everywhere. The pool was lovely. The staff were amazing. We dealt with Kerry mostly and she was amazing but so were all the other staff. Our room was super cute and comfortable and the reception was full of everything you needed and so welcoming. It was clean, nice and so comforting here. It is our ideal holiday destination and it will be our go to every single time.

New ZealandHeating via panel heater in lounge totally inadequate to heat lounge, dining/kitchen and esp bathroom. The better heater was in the bedroom but was hardly necessary in that location.. a heat pump is a must-have. Privacy a big issue with other dwellings and public areas so close.. needs net curtains or similar..
Unit was tidy and clean and stay would be more enjoyable in summer..

New ZealandThe WiFi was non-existent and therefore of no use to me as I couldn't work off my Computer...also the layout of the Unit meant that all the windows aside from 1 faced into the Park with all the Campers/Campervans etc staring straight into my space and the only privacy I had was to close all the curtains whilst I was inside
The Staff were welcoming and very supportive

New ZealandWe travel a lot and I the unit was very overpriced for what we got. The unit is really tired and aged. The step down to the toilet and in front of the minute wash basin is a hazzard and very unpractical. The booking was for a "chalet with river view" and was misleading. The only river view we had was from the kitchen window.

MalaysiaIt was an impromptu trip for my fiance and I, but we were so well accomodated and the staff were very helpful. We went during winter and the park was quiet and beautiful. We rented the self contained suite and it was so quaint, neat and had everything we needed in a small space. It was the perfect getaway away from noise. We rented the kayak and had an amazing time on the river. The process was seamless and would highly recommend it for its price and what it has to offer.
