De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

We've been here several times as we love it. Father Christmas was lovely. Food in cafe is delicious and the staff are very friendly. Just like to say that Kat who works in the cafe is so lovely and always very cheerful and makes us feel so welcome. Thank you Kat...you're the best

A perfect day out! My little girls first santa experience and it was amazing! Santa and the elves were absolutely brilliant so credits to him and the girls!
Animals seemed happy and loved.
And brilliant play ground :)

First time attending and we will definitely be back to support them and their beautiful animals.

Hopefield is a place that I visit regularly with my family and friends so it was only fitting that we take our 8 month old daughter there to meet Father Christmas for the first time. The atmosphere was welcoming as soon as we arrived and each time we go we’re so pleased to see improvements to the site for the animals in their care. We were given a Christmas trail to follow before our time slot to meet Father Christmas to keep everyone busy and not standing around in a queue like you see in most shopping centres with upset children who have had to wait around for so long. We started in the visitors centre cabin that had been transformed into a beautiful, Christmas model village. Absolutely stunning! There were activities for the children to do in the activity barn such as writing a letter to Father Christmas and word searches. Obviously our 8 month old couldn’t do this but she greatly enjoyed looking at all of the beautiful decorations in the barn. Our tickets included mulled wine for us, a warm squash for our child and mince pies. Lovely touch that was served in a small van outside. When it was our time to meet Father Christmas we were greeted by one of their friendly Elves and waited for about 2 minutes before going into a cosy, beautifully decorated grotto for us to take photos and get a gift for our daughter. Spacious, light and airy, not in a dark tent/room, it was such a lovely experience and felt so private and personal! Father Christmas was so wonderful being very careful with our daughter and speaking very softly to her to not overwhelm her and checked in with us the entire time to ensure she was not upset and got the most out of the experience. She did not cry once! We had a fantastic experience and left with wonderful photos, memories and a lovely teddy gift. We of course had to stop off of Max’s cafe for a coffee, sandwich and cake before we left.
All the money we spent that day went to the care of the animals and upkeep of the sanctuary and I will continue to do this year after year! We love it here! It’s truly a special place with amazing people. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience! Merry Christmas!

Really lovely sanctuary. We had a great day seeing all of the animals, it was fantastic to see how the staff here work so hard to make a nice home for the animals and put their welfare first. Also really nice to see an animal sanctuary with a plant based cafe, the food was lovely - we had a very tasty cheesecake and hot chocolates.

Can’t recommend this place enough

Visited for Halloween special week …. I know that people work very hard and all credit to the volunteers…. But sadly the Halloween special was disappointing to say the least .
We normally visit a few times a year …. But today the children asked to go home because they were bored !

We had such a brilliant time at Hopefield. The animals are clearly happy and very well cared for. The food in the cafe was great- I am vegan but my family aren’t, and we were all very happy. A lot of the food on sale is made in a Colchester bakery. We liked it so much that we bought muffins and cheese and tomato whirls to bring home.

The Halloween event was lovely and our 6 year old really enjoyed following the themed trail. The stories of the animals were at times very moving, and I’m so glad that we gave our money to an organisation that now protects them.
The play area is superb and a great way to end the day!

My only issue was that a number of other patrons who were eating in the cafe’s marquee brought picnics- I don’t think this is in the spirit of the place, especially when there is a covered picnic area elsewhere on the site. The family in front of us were eating meat and cheese which is obviously totally against the Hopefield ethos and blocked tables for paying customers. If the sanctuary are ok with this then fair enough, but if not then maybe some signage pointing people to the picnic area might help?

I work at a local day centre in Brentwood for people with learning disabilities. A few months ago I enquired if the sanctuary ran a carers go free scheme so that our customers could enjoy a visit to the sanctuary and see the great things I’m sure that they offer. After enquiring through email for a visit of 8+ paying adults with 2/3 carers, I was informed that they were currently looking into rolling out a scheme but atm carers have to pay a normal fee for entry. Due to the kind of company I work for, as like many cars organisations, unfortunately staff would not get any funding to support our adults to a place which we would have to pay for. I heard nothing back following on from them considering rolling out the scheme. This month I sent another email hoping that the scheme was now in place. The response I got was that they are no longer considering a carers go free scheme. I was honestly appalled by this decision, as this means a number of people in our community who need support cannot access this experience without a carer having to pay which is not always possible! Also as carers we are not going for own pleasure, we are going to support the people we care for so they can experience more in their lives!! If it was ruled out due to concerns around missing out on some people paying then this is just crazy because off the back of not letting in 2/3 carers for free, you have lost out on 8+ full paying people… this is not very inclusive of your local community. As a business I would rethink your decision on the carers go free scheme. If you are concerned that people may take advantage of the scheme, then you should ask anyone claiming to be a carer for some identification of who they work for.

Hi there. We're very disappointed that one of our neighbours would give a one-star review to a charity that is not in a financial position to be able to fund a free-carer scheme at the moment. We understand that this might seem frustrating, and having checked other local attractions we can see that none of them offer a free carer ticket either. In an ideal world we would love to welcome everyone down for free, but with our overheads having reached an eye-watering total for 2023 due to the necessity for rescuing more abandoned animals than ever, it is just not possible. At the end of the day we are a charity who are completely reliant on the support and kindness of the public to keep us going, and one-star reviews for not being able to offer free tickets is not only damaging to us, but makes us feel very sad as it is a situation currently out of our control.

Numerous visits to this wonderful place. The animals are happy and calm. The food is amazing and entirely vegan (what kind of a ridiculous “sanctuary” isn’t?!?)
Lovely play areas for kids, plenty to see and can spend the day here easily.
We recently enjoyed the vegan food festival and bumped into an old friend from vegan Campout!
Even if you aren’t vegan (and the question is always why not?!) come and learn about compassion and kindness and enjoy a a few hours without cruelty
Great parking and you can take your dogs 🐕
