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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomPerhaps an antislipery surface on the little path between the hut and toilet would be good, as it was very wet while we stayed, therefore very slippery. But it did not spoil our stay.
Everything! Absolutely fantastic place, so cozy and cute. Spotlessly clean, in a lovely, quiet and private area. Our host was very helpful and welcoming. The weather couldn’t be any worse 😂 but it didn’t spoil our stay even slightly. We still went for a local walks and even borrowed bikes from our host at no extra cost. We would stay again without a hesitation. Thank you.

United KingdomThe cabin was so cosy, bedding was super comfy, the wood burner was also a lovely touch! Warmed up very quickly. The cabin and shower room were spotless. Outside of the cabin is a fire-pit with a shelter, table and chairs.. very romantic I must say haha. The owners were very lovely too! Leaving cookies, milk and all of the essentials needed for our stay. Our car broke down during the stay and we had to be rescued by the RAC. Once the car was fixed they even gave us a lift down to the garage. Couldn’t thank them enough! We would definitely return

United KingdomExcellent location in the mountains so if you’re hiking this is defo a cozy retreat. Easy to get to via car. Good size cabin with plenty of light and ventilation. Wood burner was excellent and kept the cabin toasty for HOURS. The cabin is safe and secluded. The owners live nearby; welcoming and responsive to questions so if you need help they’re wonderful. The toilet and sink are a few steps away from the cabin in a separate unit….. late trips were intimidating but fun.

United KingdomThe deck was pretty slippery after rain and I almost went flying, so I’d maybe recommend some kind of grip is applied as it could be pretty dangerous.
Even better than the photos! So cosy - the perfect place to unwind and disconnect for a few days! Could’ve stayed forever!

Absolutely gorgeous place, will definitely be back if you'll have us. Used the fire pit outside that was set up ready and gazed at the stars. Lots of wildlife and birds, wish I'd brought my binoculars! Equipped with everything we needed. A lovely warm welcome from George when we arrived then left in peace to relax. Just loved it x

United KingdomNothing to dislike. The only small thing we thought could improve things slightly would be some type of cover over the washing up area for when it’s raining.
Very comfortable cosy warm shepherds hut with a stunning view of the hills and mountains. Everything has been thought of to make a stay here really comfortable and enjoyable. Will definitely return to explore more of this beautiful area.

United KingdomNothing really - it would have been helpful to know the cooking facilities beforehand but happy with hob and mini grill. (Little microwave would have been great, but certainly not a deal breaker!)
A different kind of place to stay - when you don't want a regular hotel! Quiet, cosy and comfortable. Fab location. WiFi facility!

United KingdomI didn't dislike anything.Everything was perfect.
The facilities were wonderful. It was the perfect balance between cabin living and modern convenience. It allowed for a level of privacy without being completely isolated. George and Carol were lovely. Their welcome onto the property was warm. The cabin was an ideal size for two people, and made for the perfect romantic mini-break.

United KingdomIncredible stay, everything we wanted and more. A home from home whilst still feeling like camping in nature. Beautiful quiet location with wonderful views. So much to do nearby. Cannot recommend highly enough. Hosts were lovely, great communication and have got this set up perfectly. We will definitely be back and have been telling family and friends all about it. We climbed sugar loaf, went open water swimming at bryn bach parc and canoeing on Goytre Wharf. Had lots of fun and enjoyed a lovely meal at The Crown in Pantygelli just a few mins from the cabin.
