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 KingdomSuch a pretty Shepherds Hut. Was really cosy and the owner had amazing communication throughout and was so helpful and friendly. Dogs were really welcome and it was so nice to get off of the grid for a bit and have a nice weekend away. Definitely recommend and would book again. 😀

United KingdomThe downside is that it is located in an airfield, however if you're looking for an isolated getaway it's not even a downside, it didn't bother us. Also, there is no mains power on the premises, which we knew about. The hut functions on a generator and the down side is that you have to switch it on and off before you go to bed so you fisically have to come out the hut in the middle of the night and walk about 35 meters to switch it off before you go to sleep. Again, for a couple of nights it didn't bother us.
The hut was lovely, clean and very comfortable. I loved the wood burner, great feature, specially because we went there in march and the weather was still cold. The hut is compact but very comfortable, perfect for a little quiet getaway in the country side for 2 people. The hut also has a nice patio and a BBQ which I imagine is a nice feature in the summer. When we went there it had been raining a lot so we could not use the terrace. The location is good, about 15-20 minutes drive to Bath city center. There is also a farm shop across the road which is very well stocked, has a kitchen also. Fiona, the host was great, very friendly and amazingly helpful. We have arrived at 10 in the evening and she has waited to meet us there and show us around which made a huge difference. I have been looking for this kind of place to stay for a long time and it was definitely worth it. It's a beautiful spot for star gazing as it's pitch black and you can see the sky beautifully. Also the communication with the host was great, she has warned us about the muddy walk, the puddles, which put me off slightly prior to arriving only because the weather was quite bad, windy and rainy but it was actually not as bad as I thought, and it was all worth it in the end as we had a great stay ☺️

United KingdomA small makeup mirror was provided but we feel there was enough room in the bathroom for a wall mounted small mirror. A protective glove or pair of tongs provided to use for the stove would have been useful. The fridge was a little dirty and gave off a smell.
Very cosy and secluded, ideal for a weekend getaway in the countryside. The set up was basic but had everything required for a comfortable stay including a nice bed, blankets and an easy to use log burner. Ideally located for travelling into Bath. The farm shop is amazing really recommend the shop and the restaurant. Some lovely pubs 10 min drive away in Norton St Phillip, we also travelled to Cheddar Gorge which took around 45 mins.

United KingdomHaving to come home!!! 😆
The property is situated just a short drive away from Bath, in a beautiful and picturesque airfield. The property was tastefully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the cozy and homely atmosphere of the property. Fiona, the host, was extremely kind and considerate, and we really enjoyed interacting with her. She is highly approachable and very accommodating. Nothing was ever too much to ask. She went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was as comfortable as possible. Our highlight: we even had the privilege of witnessing the takeoff and landing of some planes and met some of the pilots.

United KingdomThere was lots of cobwebs and a few spiders which I am absolutely terrified of so for my piece of mind it could have been dusted around the lights & corners as what I can’t see won’t hurt me! It was very hard to find the hut, maybe some signage when you get to the carpark & is really hard to locate in the dark winter mornings and night. Very very wet and muddy, we slipped and slides everywhere but for us, that was just part of the experience. But for others, maybe not as fun.
It was super cosy. We enjoyed to log fire and how homely it felt. It was clean and tidy. Fiona was brilliant, super clear with instructions. Was a lovely little place and in close proximity of bath city centre.

NetherlandsI missed the WIFI, to be honest, haha =) It would have been nice to be able to watch a movie, without having to worry about my data. And it would have been nice to know beforehand that the hut is in front of a little airplane field. But I did enjoy a flight in one of the airplanes, so I shouldn't 'complain' about that, haha! =)
I loved the Skylar Shepherds hut!! Cozy, nice decorated, good view, a little fireplace and attention for detail. It was a small hut, but it felt really bright and open. I had a nice welcome and the owner was very helpful. Recommend!
