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 KingdomSome of the pavings were a little slippery, had to be careful. The lighting along the path to the Hut weren't working so needed a torch.
Very cute Shepherds Hut with lots of personal touches. Outlook was beautiful, very peaceful. Everything catered for.

Beautiful hut in a gorgeous location. We were looking for a night away to properly switch off and get cosy before christmas. Was the perfect place to facilitate a bit of peace and quiet. We loved all the little touches, it’s a wonderfully finished hut. The bed was extremely comfy, the place was nice and warm considering the time of year and the stormy weather. Romantic and cosy. A thank you to the hosts for being so accommodating as well!

United KingdomOne minor thing - we would have liked a grill to put over the fire pit so that we could cook outside.
Little touches from the hosts, like the oat milk and vegan marshmallows in the fridge. The hut was immaculate and so beautiful, perfect quiet setting surrounded by nature. Absolutely loved it, will definitely come again. Thank you.

United KingdomI didn't dislike anything, but as someone who cooks from scratch, there are a few things I think folk might find useful, such as a few more pots, pans (a lidded saute pan to save the beautiful woodwork from splatters) and microwave safe bakeware to get the benefit of the fabulous multifunction oven installed (loved it, want one!) With so many areas having their own recycling schemes, an explanation of how to deal with separating waste would be helpful. Not all areas have the same enviable recycling. But there was nothing to dislike. I could live there, it was fabulous.
I Loved the solitude, peace and quiet. The hut itself was warm, cosy and we'll situated. Mark was a fantastic host. A lovely couple who created an idyllic stay.

Lovely rural location, peaceful setting, great to spend a few hours by the fire pit having a cider and a sandwich, and looking at the view. Comfortable hut, superbly appointed, very characterful. Would definitely visit again.

United KingdomI find the key safes fiddly, especially in the dark and late at night, likewise walking around the church to the hut, there also wasn't much space for any personal things. As I was staying in the winter, the outside space and views weren't really able to be enjoyed as set up so imagine it would be wonderful in the summer season.
This is a superb high quality outfitted shepherds hut with stunning location and warm, welcoming, responsive hosts
