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 KingdomNothing. We love it all. We think that a guest book would be a lovely touch for guests to leave little comments.
Our second stay here. We love it so much. Quite and peaceful with no Internet connection or distractions. Close to brecon beacons and lots of attractions with plenty to do. It's comfortable little cabin, eco loo, provided all the utensils you will need, lovely log burner, we can never find anything bad to say about this place.

Everything was perfect. Excellent use of space within the hut and it had everything you could possibly need, including eggs, bread, butter and milk which we thought was a really nice touch. We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending to friends and family looking for some peace and quiet.

United KingdomNothing could of been better! Absolutely lovely glamping hut with a beautiful location!
Dryw Bach was the most beautiful and spacious glaming hut we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in lots!) Stunning location in the middle of the country side! The hut was lovely and private (as well as self check in which is great!), wonderful outside area for breakfast and dinner as well as being immaculate inside. This glamping hut unlike most has EVERYTHING you will ever need, from bedding, complementary fresh food (bread, milk, butter and eggs), hot choc with marshmallows to a lovely warm shower, hot water bottles and an even warmer wood burner. This place is truly incredible and I would recommend this glamping hut to everyone for a perfect little getaway! Not to mention we brought our dog, the absolutely lovely Donna and Lee had set out a little doggy bed in front of the fire with a dog bowl and treats! They went above and beyond our expectations! I honestly couldn't recommend this place any more and we can't wait to go back again! Thank you both so much for making my birthday the most incredible time!

United KingdomThe place was a bit chilly when we arrived but we lit the log burner and popped the electric radiator on and it soon heated up nicely. That said, we arrived a day late and perhaps the hosts had had it all cosy for the day before!
Tasty, generous welcome pack. Easy parking. Hosts were always quick to respond to messages and always friendly and flexible. Great use of space in the glamping hut. Lovely and quiet location - watching the birds in the nearby tree is proper soul food.

United StatesThe toiled was great and did its job and is really great that it's eco but it is a little challenging to use and the door isn't really thick so you're right next to bed taking a poo and as long as you're close enough for it, it works just fine 😀 If you're shy like me... it's a little harder. We had a solution- one of us goes outside during poo time to alleviate performance anxiety!
Comfy bed. Fully stocked kitchen. Fireplace and wood/kindling. Beautiful garden and super quiet! Adorable little space and great vibes.

CambodiaWe didnt realise on booking that it was an eco toilet, however it was a very decent setup and well done.
Everything! The hut was fantastic, lovely and clean lots of little touches that were very much appreciated. The log burner was great made it very cosy and certainly kept us nice and toasty. Would 100% reccomend for a quiet getaway.

United KingdomThe temperature control on the shower didn't work, so it swung between hot and cold. Hopefully this can be fixed.
Fantastic cabin, very smart and very cosy. Well-equipped for our 3-night stay. Cute design touches that add to the character - I loved the dragonfly door handles. The countryside around the cabin was stunningly beautiful in the sunny weather we had. Although there isn't much of a view from the cabin itself, as it is screened from the road by trees, you only have to step out onto the (very quiet) road for great views and scenery. The trees make the space outside the cabin lovely and private, and there is both a deck area with table & chairs, and a gravelled area to have a bbq. Inside the cabin there is a log burner which makes it so cosy in the evening.

United KingdomWe weren't keen on the style of loo, but appreciated that it was more eco-friendly than a flushing one.
We loved the location, beautiful quiet and secluded. The hut was finished to a high standard, and we loved all the little finishing touches. A really relaxing stay. And the cat who came to visit was an added bonus.

United KingdomNothing!
The hut was secluded & unoverlooked. It was a quaint little hideaway. Very well thought out in design and we loved the finishing touches like the little birdie plaques over the light switches and the little wooden mouse plaque on the skirting board near the breakfast stools. Dragon fly cupboard door handles & frog hooks. The wild garden & little tadpole pond was beautiful. The hut was so comfortable & the wood burner made it cosy. Loved it! Hoping to find sometime to return next year for some down time. The area is isolated with a maze of single track roads. Locals are friendly too! Lots of wildlife. Saw quite a few red kites. The area is beautiful & not touristy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dryw Bach! It was lovely and cosy, exactly what we needed. We loved the log burner and all the little thoughtful touches in the hut from the fresh eggs and Welsh cakes to the little Robins and mice carved out of wood. It was the perfect relaxing getaway and we would like to thank our hosts very much!!! We will definitely be back again and we can not wait! Thank you!! 😊
