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 reviewThese Shepherds huts were very unique and quaint. Lovely little touches found in the little space. Underfloor heating was a fabulous touch. Domino’s in the bathroom was a great touch too. The showers were fab, hot & powerful. The little welcome pack was fab too. Definitely recommend staying here

Verified reviewThe attention to detail in these cosy little huts was just lovely. It was absolutely chucking it down one of the days and pretty cold, the heated floors definitely came in handy. They also provide lots of snacks and breakfast bits and bobs, tea, coffee and hot chocolate little croissants which is a lovely touch. My daughter wants to live here (she's 4). The staff are lovely and i still need to come back and try the food! Would definitely come again and highly recommend.
The bed is quite high, but this allows for adequate storage underneath. May be hard for elderly to get up there and down. Other than that minor, absolutely perfect

The bed was not very comfortable A mini fridge would be useful. Milk was provided but there was no way to keep it cool other than leaving it outside overnight The pub menu was disappointing and the food was not as good as our visit last year

Verified reviewI booked this trip as a weekend get away with my husband for his birthday & our 6th wedding anniversary celebration. We arrived in the Friday to a warm welcome from staff in Craven Arms pub and had a drink then went up to the hut. It was warm, very clean, a lovely breakfast hamper with tea coffee pastries and porridge pots. The bed was comfy & shower was great! We ate at craven arms on both evenings & the staff were very accommodating and even reserved us a table for the Saturday evening with out us even asking, which was nice after a long walk that day! The food was delicious and a good variety of beverages to choose from. We really enjoyed our stay and will be returning! Thank you

Verified reviewBeautiful surroundings the local people where very welcoming , food at the craven arms was very good but limited menu We'd sit outside on evening & all you could hear was the waterfall a few miles away Breathtaking the hut itself was in a great location behind the craven arms Very well decorated clean with underfloor heating , I think only downside was lack of phone signal & you'd have to go outside to connect to the pub WiFi but hey that's what going out to the remote countryside is all about right re connecting with what's actually important just being you no distractions All in all a amazing experience
