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.).

LithuaniaThere's not much options to cook food. There is a little electric grill, but also would be nice to have more options of pots/plates/bowls/cups. Overall experience was really good!
It is located in a beutiful place in the mountains, we loved the nature, also tents were big and comfortable, every tent has a separate bathtoom with shower.

PortugalWe were given the No 1 yurd tent and unfortunately my 82 year old mother had great difficulty getting to the toilet which is up a slope and the ground around it is very unlevel. Also we were told that the car had to stay in the car park. The following day we saw various vehicles parked near the tents. I understood that our tent had no park space anywhere near so we obviously had to walk up the steep slope with my mother struggling terribly every time we needed to go up or down. She really struggled even though she was absolutely delighted to be there and loved the weekend. Next time I will attempt to request a tent on the area further up that has the toilets closer to the tents and in safer condition. Although there are various solar light fittings, most no longer work so it gets dark to find your way around at night. The coffee shop should perhaps rethink its service. Amongst such a beautiful area and the only thing to eat was toast! Worst was the toast wasn’t even with homemade bread. It was the long life type which is paper thin and unfulfilling.
I loved the interaction with the animals. Feeding them. Loved being amongst nature and away from the noise. Liked the pool area.

SpainEverything, very kind and helpful staff, comfortable and cozy beds, the tipi has perfect insulation, each tipi has its own independent bathroom, which by the way its better than some hotel bathrooms. It has a shared space equipped with an electric grill, a shared freezer and many tables and chairs. It also has a cafeteria. The cherry on the top, Parque da Mina has enclosed spaces with animals that you can feed. All in all, this is one of the best establishment of this kind we have ever been to. Thank you everything.

United StatesThe location was fantastic and easy to get to. I had never camped alone before, and the Glamping set up is perfect for beginners. There are small individual wooden bathrooms close to each beautiful tent and an amazing natural pool so you can cool off when it it warmer. The staff is amazing and solves any problem you may have. There are farm animals in the park, so you really feel you are in nature. The views are great and you are close to Portimão, but you get to sleep in a forest! A relaxing environment if you want to get away from civilization, but you can be connected if you want to work online, because they have good electricity connections in the bathrooms and if you take a good internet router you get a good connection. The restaurant also has internet in case you need it! All in all, a fabulous experience, to detach from stress, detox from social media, coffee, or anything else that might have you running on empty! Perfect to recharge your batteries and to remember how important the simple things are in life! I highly recommend it!

PortugalOther than the swimming pool, which is small-ish, nothing to point out. Still, children (<10) can have a lot of fun.
The whole scenery is extremely enjoyable. It is much more than a camping site: as one explores the area, one can learn a lot about the local traditions and industry. The tents are great, very spacious, each one has its own private bathroom (outside) and more than half of them get some shade from trees during the day. There are also commodities for common use like a large fridge and microwave that can come in handy.

GreeceThe tents weren’t exactly luxurious. We woke up sweating because of the heat and the light, as there was neither air conditioning nor light coverage. There was no furniture to place your clothes so you had to keep them in your suitcase and it didn’t look like the pictures as it wasn’t spacious or that good looking. You could only charge your phone in the bathroom where there was only one socket. Tents and bathrooms weren’t cleaned at all, neither were the beds made. Tents also had mud on the outside which was obvious from the inside which could be avoided if they were a different colour or if they were, as mentioned earlier, cleaned. The café didn’t have anything to eat apart from toast and its service wasn’t great. Furthermore, it could offer a greater variety, especially for edibles, and it should be open for longer (if not 24/7, since there’s nothing else around in the area). The majority of the staff doesn’t speak English and if the ones that do can’t speak well.
It was quite scenic and the location was amazing, as it was in the forest and close to multiple picturesque villages and beaches. The view from the tents was spectacular, especially at night when there were stars that shined like diamonds. The bathroom and the facilities were decent.
