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 KingdomIt was a very lovely place in the middle of nowhere, but also not too far to drive for food and other facilities. The animals are amazing and the cats were beautiful little extras 😁. Very peaceful place. A lovely getaway for couples. The owners made sure we were happy and were there if we needed anything.

United KingdomStruggled to find the property at first as no signs and there was no service around the property. Hot tub took a long time to heat up but didn’t help with time of year. The parking area was soft stones - not sure if recently put down but it felt very soft under foot and cars tires struggled to get grip - recent rain didn’t help.
Liked that it was fenced up as there is another small hut next door so is more private if there are people next door. Really beautiful inside and layed out really well, really nicely set out and got loads of cooking equipment inside - so helpful.

United KingdomWe only stayed for one night and don't have any complaints with anything.
Lovely location and we were met on our arrival by the emus! The hut itself is very comfortable and has everything you need for self catering (kitchen utensils, plates etc). A basket of goodies were waiting for us on our arrival which was a really nice touch. There is a lot made of the hot tub in the reviews but a couple of bags of wood (bought from home bargains) had the tub more than warm enough in a couple of hours!

United KingdomNot keen on having to supply bags of logs for wood fired hot tub - feel it would be better for this to be supplied and built into the cost of the accommodation.
Loads of thoughtful extras provided. Beautiful location with lots of cute animals, great private, sunny garden with bbq, outdoor kitchen and handy, well stocked snack shack with honesty box.

United KingdomWish there was another small hut so that we could stay with another couple. (can see the emus might not suit small children). Finding the place was a little tricky. The place is quite isolated so having milk and a fresh loaf might help (very generous with other supplies).
Loved, loved, loved the animals at this place, it was AMAZING to stay here! The llamas, goats, ponies, cockerels were very cute. And the emus were incredible and so much fun to be near. Loved the setup with instructions for how best to interact with them. The shepherd's hut was cute, there was a generous goodie bag and the stall outside with things you could buy was Great - lots of choice, even ice creams in a freezer, and food bags for the animals. Didn't see the owners as we were only there for a short time but they checked we were OK.

United KingdomCould have information on local places.
The shepherd's hut is set in an ideal place, especially if you love animals. It's private, and it's set in its own garden with a hut tub. Be warned there is no Internet. The owners had left coffee, tea, milk, and sugar. There was also a bottle of wine. There was ceral for breakfast. You have to buy the bags of wood to heat the water to the hot tub. But there is a small shelter with snacks, wood, wine, and beer for you to buy. We used it as a base to travel around. We found Kington on the last night when we went for food. It's a lovely village with plenty of shops . We visited Hay on wye, hereford, Monmouth, and ross on wye, then Leominster on our way home. Ideally set to visit lots of places.
