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 reviewEverything was absolutely perfect. The owners even heated the hot tub up for our arrival and left us a litter basket of goodies to enjoy . The location is brilliant, lovely views and not far from all the activities we had booked. It was spotlessly clean and very welcoming. We have already booked again for next year
There really wasn't anything to dislike .

Verified reviewThe location was perfect to get away from everyday life. Beautiful views and quiet peaceful setting. With a great pizza oven and hot tub to soak your muscles after walking. Was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners have done a great job at making it feel home from home with all the little additions of cute touches throughout. Excellent stay, highly recommended and we will definitely be going back.
It was hard to find development opportunities but 2 things I found was lack of evening sun in the garden but I understand that it’s no fault of the property 😂 and if the hot tub had jets it would be a great addition however I’m digging deep to find something I didn’t like.

Verified reviewThe cabin was so welcoming, with a sweet personalised sign and so many thoughtful and luxurious touches like the mini shampoo laid out on the plush towels, and the robes. We loved the wood fired pizza oven and it was great to have a generous amount of firewood already included. The location is so peaceful, we loved sitting out listening to the birds and it felt very private.

Verified reviewWe were wowed from the get go.- well done Elephant View Shepherds Hut. We hadn't realised until seeing their website that this is an award winning gem so we are.very lucky to have had the opportunity to stay here. We without a shadow of a doubt think this is worth every award. Our stay was for 2 nights (we wish it was for longer) for our base camp hiking trip up Mt.Snowdon. It was glamping with every little detail thought about and it made it feel extra homely and cosy...guest basket, fresh milk, all the essentials for a stay. The instructions were detailed and super helpful although we are gutted our day trekking was so long.we didn't even use the hot tub or pizza fire. it was super clean (as a business owner of a cleaning company myself.and cleaning my own Airbnb's - I should know). And how could we forget to mention the absolutely stunning views of the sky at night, down to the friendly neighbors (sheep) greeting you in the mornings and the gorgeous kitted-out outdoor space. Absolutely dreamy stay - thank you X Nat.& Tom,.soon to be regular visitors .
We don't there was anything

Verified reviewThe hut was perfect and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend break. The robes and the welcome pack were a lovely thought and the hot tub was brilliant. The additional outdoor area with Pizza oven, lights and seating were ideal for sitting outside and enjoying the views. Would 100% recommend.
