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 KingdomI think a gazebo over the hot tub would be a good idea incase it rains and a bit more lighting but it was a lovely stay
It was lovely and relaxing but you do need a car to get around if needed

United KingdomI'm glad my friend was driving as I would have struggled with those roads! But that's the price you pay for truly getting away from it all!
The caravan was spacious and really well equipped. The hot tub was clearly very well maintained. It was a perfect place to completely chill out and do nothing. Ruth was incredibly friendly and on hand to help out when needed.

United KingdomHaving to go home!
Must admit, we were a little unsure about staying in a caravan, but needn't have been! Ruth met us on arrival, showed us the accommodation and how to use the hot tub and then left us to enjoy. The caravan was spacious, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. Cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, cooker, toaster and a wonderful retro style microwave. Clean bedding, plenty of towels, good quality TV and even games to keep us amused. Free good speed WiFi. The shower was surprisingly powerful. A top quality hot tub, again spotlessly clean, set in a secluded area of garden with a BBQ nearby. The location is perfect for a quiet stay, but just 15 minutes from the wonderful historic city of Shrewsbury. We don't hesitate in recommending Ruth's Rest and will be back as soon as time allows!

United KingdomIt’s hard to find fault at Ruth’s retreat they have thought of everything… I will say this though could do with a few more pillows on the bed ones a bit too flat for us!!
There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful this little get away is, it’s a little slice of heaven calm & tranquility with the most amazing hosts. A visit here is highly recommended….

United KingdomBeing on a bike...the access to the property via single track roads with a lot of gravel in places, wasn't ideal.
Location was very quiet thus a great sleep. The accommodation was clean and provided everything that you'd need for a stay.

United KingdomOnly 1 pillow each on the bed which were very flat as it is. CCTV pointed right at hot tub (I know it's said in description there is CCTV and there is a sign on cabin door) but pointing directly at the hot tub just made me bit uneasy and uncomfortable. Felt like I couldn't relax completely in there. It was just a bit off putting. I would of preferred it hidden to honest.
Clean as a whistle. Exactly as you see it in pictures. No area has not been cleaned. Couldn't fault the cleaning whatsoever. Its situated in a lovely quiet area so you could really unwind. Ruth was very welcoming and helpful. Easy to contact. It was pur anniversary and there was a lovely little sign in the living room wishing us a happy anniversary which was a thoughful tough! Lovely big hot tub which was ready to use when we arrived. Big enough room space, the whole accomdation is very well looked after. Would definitely recommend to others and return in the future.
