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 reviewLovely quite location with everything we needed in the hut. It was more spacious than we thought and very comfortable. Our hosts were great with communication and made checking in and out very easy. We didn't spend much time in the local town apart from having dinner next to the Abbey, it is a very beautiful view.

Verified reviewExactly as advertised. Lovely, cosy, well equipped cabin. Great location and very peaceful.
The only negative was the outside area could have done with bit of a tidy up/ clean but wouldn’t stop me returning.

Verified reviewFantastic quiet location. Very private and secluded. Fabulous facility. Super clean and comfortable. Very nice outside seating area. Very relaxing. Lovely little touch of beer in the fridge for us. Superb! Excellent communication before we arrived (for directions and access to hut etc). Also, and we didn't mind this at all / we didn't feel offended, but we didn't see the hosts - we were just trusted to enjoy the hut ourselves. Ten out of ten. Excellent.
Very very very minor point, but front door didn't quite fit the frame properly, so could be a bit draughty in winter. Told you it was a minor point! Other than that it was superb!

Verified reviewThe shepherds hut was in the most beautiful and tranquil spot and was kitted out with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners have thought of everything! The beers and milk left for us in the fridge were a kind touch. Our stay was during a heatwave and the outdoor seating and dining with the cover of mature, leafy trees was very welcome. It’s a private little spot in beautiful gardens with a horse in the field in the grounds. Idyllic. We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of nights in beautiful spot within an area of outstanding beauty.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe whole cabin and garden was spotless, the bed was very comfy, sitting at night in the garden with string lights around and the firepit going was absolute bliss!! The area is peaceful and the town is quaint with lots of history.

Verified reviewThe shepards hut was exceptional, didn't have a worry in the world. Everything we needed for a break was provided. It was situated in a beautiful location where it wasn't far to drive to the lidl to get what we needed to cook. The firepit was lovely on a night time. The bed was the comfiest, like sleeping on a cloud. We really had an amazing time and didn't want to leave. Back to reality now as we live in a city. But we will definitely be returning. Thankyou x
Thank you for such a lovely review!
