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 KingdomThere was nothing about this property we didn’t like , if only the English weather could be better
Set in beautiful surroundings this shepherds hut was perfect for a quick get away, Jo and her husband were extremely friendly and nothing was to much trouble, ( even when we didn’t listen and got stuck in the mud ! ). The hut was clean and beautifully warm it had everything you could possibly need for a stay away from home. And so so quiet,

Great little hut - very peaceful spot, neither fancy or basic just as expected. I have a nice BBQ and a glass of wine, listening to music with good views after a long day at work. It hit the spot

United KingdomWe had to go outside in the rain and at night to get to the bathroom, but we knew this would be the case, it wasn't far and it meant we saw shooting stars when the night sky was clear which was a bonus.
Bed was comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed for a short stay. Provisions such as milk, tea, beer and splendid biscuits were a treat. Host was welcoming.

United KingdomI cannot find other things, than my idea that in good weather, sitting outside would be even more wonderful.
A cozy little retreat, in a lovingly made Shepherds Hut. I had all what I needed and the special welcoming gifts were an icing on the cake. The balance between privacy and the host checking in, was perfect for me. I was warm, despite still cold weather, enjoyed the fire, and the absolute silence from nature. Early morning, I opened the window, and while sitting in bed, I watched the sunrise accompanied with a lively birdsong. I highly recommend it.

United KingdomI booked the shepherds hut for a little getaway weekend. The host was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Jo made sure that by the time we arrived the place was warm, fire was ready to be started and the electric blanket was on. Each night we fell asleep to the sounds of rain and everytime we went to shower we could say hi to the horses. The hut is located in a perfect spot, feels like you are somewhere remote but at the same time it's only 10-15 minutes away from Shrewsbury town centre. On my way back home I was already planning the next visit!

United KingdomThe price was rather high. There, said it. I'm not complaining - it was exactly what I wanted, but it is rather over-priced. Other than that, it's one of the best places I've ever stayed - I was in just the mood for what it offered.
I arrived earlier than expected (my fault) and contacted the owner to indicate I was on site. She was extremely solicitous, promised to have everything sorted in time for my later return, and offered 'your favourite tipple' by way of compensation for her having been on holiday and missing the booking arrangements! (No tipple was taken - she was just so lovely) I had the best night's sleep I've had for centuries; the smell of the grass, the sound of horses snorting, the birds singing, the privacy of the hut, and the welcome to the place, were all just wonderful.
