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...).

United StatesHaving to walk quite a distance to the bathroom Having to zip up the tent every time we leave Having to charge our phones and power banks in the lobby Breakfast offering has too much carb Nobody talks to anybody else outside of their own circle, if you’re alone you’re out of luck even in the common areas Patrons mostly white, makes being non-white an isolated experience
Awesome staff Comfortable bed Beautiful and natural campsite Tent is sturdy against rain and strong wind Rain on our tent makes sleeping sound Being able to build our own fire and sit around it Free smores kit

United StatesI’m really glad I somehow booked during a quiet time! There are around 20 tents, and a food truck and music space that are open to the public. This place is prepared for a real crowd! The quiet I enjoyed—including the raucous frog chorus!—was heavenly.
Cute, cozy, beautifully appointed, but most importantly: amazing staff. Sam in particular kicked off the welcoming feeling at check in and anyone else I encountered was equally warm and kind. Almost more of a bnb feel.. without all the kitsch.

United StatesWe have no complaints. It was really a great stay but since you asked the question I would say that the staff are mostly college students and don't have the ability to be decisive or have authority in making decisions. We had an issue on check in and the one manager was on vacation and the other sick. It seemed like a simple fix but the staff, while very friendly, was unable to make decisions. Fortunately, the manager did respond promptly and the matter was handled.
Campground is beautifully maintained and amenities (boardgames, tea/coffee, cash bar, firepits, breakfast and small camp store) were fantastic. We really enjoyed every moment of our stay.

United StatesThere was nothing I didn’t like. But as far as comments: I think I would’ve liked a few more food/ drink/amenities for sale. My husband and I don’t drink alcohol, so it would be nice to see perhaps a small menu of drinks? It may have been nice to be able to determine who was on the staff -not uniforms, but just something. I think if reservations made through Booking.com etc are that hard to manage it shouldn’t be an option.
Having the reception area in the large tent all open made a huge difference! We loved the music playing there. What a relief the bathrooms were awesome! Having the hiking path accessible was perfect. We appreciate keeping car traffic to the parking lot only.
