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 reviewIt's quirky, there are chickens, it was clean and good value for money. Great host and great views into the valley.
Nothing I didn't like, it's basic, but that's exactly what I want.

Verified reviewThe kids love the friendly lambs, hens and dogs. The bunk beds are comfortable. Bed covers and towels are provided. There are toiletries in the shared bathroom. Everything is clean. Extremely good value for family of 4, his was our second stay here and we will be back. There is lots to do in the local area and it’s very well situated.
This is actually something I love about the property but if you don’t like animals, it may not be the place for you. It’s a croft after all!

Verified reviewLoved this little hut. Nice and cosy, surprisingly spacious inside. It has a kettle and microwave and some towels. There are plenty of chickens running around. They liked to visit frequently as well as the lovely border collies. Very friendly and obedient dogs. My children loved their time here. The lady who owns the huts is called Viv. Very lovely and along with the lady who does the cleaning and maintaining the huts they’ll both make sure you have everything you need before they leave you to enjoy your stay. Will definitely stay here again

Verified reviewLove the location on a small croft but only 12min from the town. Mountain view's and close to farm animals and wildlife...
No table or chairs in the hut, if it had been raining!

Verified reviewYou are staying on a working farm and it's a fabulous experience. Viv is a brilliant host and you look down over the village and views are spectacular. You aren't simply buying a bed here you're getting an experience. My daughter got to feed the lambs and the chickens and dogs were frequent visitors. We used it as a base for Highland wildlife park. It was ideal. Brilliant experience

Verified reviewThe shepherd's hut is well thought out, with everything that you need for a comfortable stay - the beds are super-comfy! . The addition of the kettle, toaster and microwave and all crockery was really helpful for making breakfast. We loved the chickens and dogs coming to visit us in the morning too!
Nothing really - I guess if we were coming back we'd probably do it in the warmer weather but nothing you can really do about that.

Verified reviewBeautiful setting. Loved the chickens, sheep and dogs. Hut and bathroom were both very clean
Facilities - the shower door was coming off, meaning water was leaking on the floor. Mattresses were not comfortable and need to be replaced. My one was very soft in the middle, and impossible to get comfortable. Proper plates and cutlery would have been nice. Not chunky plastic children's ones. Also no sink to wash the dishes, or washing up liquid/dish cloth. There was no small fridge or UHT milk provided. The owner opened the front door a few times. It was me that waved and shouted hello. They never once came over to check if we needed anything or just to say hello/welcome. Seemed unfriendly and almost annoyed that we were there. The place is not expensive, but poor facilities mean the price is too high. My Son became a bit unwell on the 2nd day with a bug so we ended up leaving early.
