Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe hut is equipped with the basic utensils you need for an easy meal and a disposable barbecue. The only think it needs is a blow dryer, it is useful after using the hut tub especially if its a bit colder outside.
It was very secluded and rustic.

United KingdomNothing to add here.
The hut was beautiful. Very clean with everything you need. The towels provided are soft but they are quite small so next time I’d take my own. It felt very secluded. I didn’t feel over looked and I couldn’t see other guests from the hot tub or the outdoor seating but it’s worth knowing that neighbors are relatively close. I didn’t meet the owners, however I did meet their (adult) daughter when checking in and if she’s anything to go by they must be lovely people.

United KingdomAlthough a minor point, maybe the addition of a toaster to allow for toast etc in the morning and a couple of small shelves by the bed to hold night drinks medication etc. not having these in no way affected the stay, there are just a possible enhancement.
A great location with an outstanding view, from both the hut and the hot tub, over the town of Kidwelly and the estuary. Local shops nearby and only a short drive to a beach.

Gambo Shepherd's hut was very clean and comfortable. Great location- easy to access the village of Kidwelly for shops/restaurants. Fabulous hot tub and amazing views. Inside the shepherd's hut there was an electric radiator as well as a wood burning stove so it is perfect for the colder months. Well equipped with a kitchenette that included a hob and refrigerator, and all essential utensils for basic cooking.
