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 reviewThe hut was beautiful and very cosy! It's a great location to puzzlewood, clearwell caves, and Gloucester is no more than 30 minutes drive! Owner was very friendly when we met on the drive ☺️

Verified reviewNice little cabin. Stayed warm all night and had a lovely sleep. Cooking facilities were fine just made one meal. Nice little hideaway for the night.
It was all good. Missed the turning to find it a few times but no big problems getting there. 😁

Verified reviewLovely little oasis of a garden with really helpful hosts. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for our morning eggs. The bed was comfy and it felt very quiet and secluded. Parking was also very easy.
The bed sheet could do with an update, bit scratchy. Location was a little hard to find/be sure - a sign would have helped as we weren't sure if we were trespassing following the what3words. Nothing major - it was a lovely stay.

Verified reviewLocation of the Hut. Even though in grounds of owners house, it has is own secluded garden that pretty much shuts out all surrounding properties. the Huts garden is stunning and mature and very well maintained. Lovely wood carving of what looks like TED in the movies LOL. HUT very well presented and clean. Good use of the space afforded inside and ample for overnight stay. Bed very comfortable and good night sleep was had. Was lovely to eat evening meal and breakfast outside in the garden. Very relaxing and recommended
Not alot to be fair. possible suggestion is some form folding table for eating meal or general use. we were lucky with weather to eat on table outside.
Thanks for the lovely review. We are glad you had a beautiful stay!

Verified reviewAmazing well equipped hut so relaxing had the best nights sleep in ages. Feels very private very cosy and enjoyed some quality time together.
Was all great but a bigger fridge under the sink maybe would be good and maybe a tv for when you are relaxing would be a good edition

Directions could be clearer. Could provide a hairdryer, a couple of hooks for coats, and perhaps some milk for tea/coffee.

Verified reviewVery cute cosy hut! only stayed for on night but lovely location
No tv, and very cold when we first got there, cutlery was all wet and mouldy in cupboards
Thanks for the feedback, so glad you enjoyed it! Re the TV this is intentional as we decided the retreat nature of this lovely little shepherds hut is to get away from it all (including gadgetry), so we purposely do not advertise we have a tv Re the cutlery; we were horrified to find it when cleaning! We went the eco route of wooden…lesson learnt! We have gone out and purchased a whole new lot, this time not wood! So sorry about that, you said in the guestbook you will be back in summer, if you do, let us know and we can do a little discount as a goodwill gesture. Have a great rest of the week!
