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 KingdomThe only thing worth noting was that the cabin gets very warm in hot weather. If the weather is going to be above mid 20s (c) then I would recommend packing a fan which would have made sleeping much for comfortable.
Well situated property for exploring north wales and Snowdonia National park. The host provided a number of thoughtful touches such as dressing gowns, welcome drinks, wood for the fire and marshmallows for toasting. We had such a lovely time and the cabin provided just the cozy romantic get away that we needed to retreat back too after a days hiking and exploring. The pizza oven and hot tub were easy to use and even more enjoyable after a day of mountain climbing. We would love to stay again and would recommend to any couple looking for a north wales retreat.

United KingdomSuch a beautiful place. Had the best time here, did not want to leave. Spent the entire first day of our trip just relaxing at the hut and all the amenities made it 10x better the pizza oven and the hot tub and just the view was so peaceful. Inside the hut is also very clean and cosy I loved it. Could not have had a better host was so helpful and kind.

The location was perfect for us. The shephards hut was very cosy and we had amazing nights sleep there. The host Gavin was checking in on us to see if we needed top up of fire wood. I will definitely be returning to the shephards hut.

United KingdomPerhaps more information upfront and pictures of extras, i.e., pizza pack would be helpful.
What a beautiful place to stay in Wales! We loved our stay and you can tell a lot of effort goes into the experience from the hosts, who genuinely want you to have a brilliant time. The hut was pristine, with hot water and firewood provided to use the hot tub, fire pit, pizza oven etc. It's about 200m behind a house but facing the other way so you do get real privacy and the views are phenomenal. We even woke up with cows right next to the plot one morning! We won't forget that one in a while.

United KingdomI would really be nit picking if I had to find something I didn't like in all honesty
Host Gavin was super friendly, was concerned about privacy being essentially in someone garden but aside from greeting us at the gate and responding to our text, we didn't see he him so loads of privacy. The hut had everything we needed, super cosy and it got really warm with the burner, even in the winter! Views were fantastic, water pressure and Internet given we were in a hut were superb. Marshmallow, Welsh cakes and the hot tub warmed up on arrival were all the extra touches that made this a fab stay with an excellent host

United KingdomThis was our 2nd stay here and yet again we cannot fault a single thing. This place is an absolute gem and one we would recommend very highly. The Shepherds Hut itself is set in it's own private spot where you have uninterrupted views of the countryside and Elephant Mountain in the distance, it's simply stunning! It is absolutely immaculately clean with nothing out of place - it is literally like stepping into a magazine picture and at the same time it is so warm and welcoming too. The little welcome basket is great and the fresh milk is wonderful. The hot tub is just the icing on the cake offering the best relaxation and the views are just idyllic. I could honestly talk about this place for ages it is that good! It is hands down one of the best places that we have stayed in for so many reasons. Gav, the owner is lovely and nothing is too much trouble at all. He goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is perfect. We loved our 2nd stay so much that we are already looking to book again for next year too. Can't wait to come back to this perfect little gem.
