How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewUnique. Cute set up. Friendly owner. Great if you know what you’re in for and are happy with that. I was a bit surprised.
Could have been clearer about facilities in pictures / descriptions. Really annoyed me the kitchen area was outside and away from the cabin & not really a kitchen. Must read detailed instructions before able to use toilet, shower, kitchen. Felt like hard work staying here.

Having the place to ourselves
I’m curious …why is having a beautiful half acre permaculture paradise to yourself a negative? When you booked within an hour last minute same day and I happened to be away…

Verified reviewThe glamping is absolutely charming and comfortable with lots of caring touches to make the visitor feel welcome.
Trying to find the outdoor kitchen in the dark to clean our teeth. Its lucky we are both mobile and not going to trip over anything. A basin near the tent would be good.

Pillows not to our liking.
We have lots of different types of pillows including 2 different ones under the queen bed. If guests are not happy with the pillows then we appreciate communication from guests about this and we are happy to offer you many options.

Verified reviewthe sounds of nature were nice, creek had heavy flow so it was unique glamping experience. Good amenities, including heating pad on the bed to offset the cold nights, along with plenty of plugs etc. I recommend check-in during daylight to get oriented & settle in.
the outdoor facilities / outhouse were very unique and may not be for everyone. You are truly exposed to nature, including lotsa’ mosquitoes & the elements.
Thanks for your comments. The glamping tent does have Flyscreens on all of the windows and doors. And we provide natural mosquito repellent and a repellant coil should you choose to use them when you are outside. Everyone has different sensitivities to bug bites. And yes you do need to go outside in order to use the toilet or the shower as this is a natural set up with indoor and outdoor flow. Thanks for coming to stay.
