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 KingdomGreat isolated location with beautiful views. Fossil hunting in the quarry was very fun. The hut is quaint, cosy and well equipped. Thanks to Emma.

United KingdomNot a dislike, but check your roads before heading out for the day. There is usually an A road option which is a bit longer if your car isn't up to steep narrow roads.
Incredible location. Beautiful clear sunsets and moonrises, perfect for stargazing. We loved the Quarry. There is a supermarket with petrol station and cash machine just down the road. All the benefits of being remote with non of the disadvantages.

United KingdomThe height of the bed made it difficult to get in and out as I'm a short person. Didn't find many decent fossils and had to do a lot of excavating for little gain.
The view was amazing and a very peaceful location

United KingdomThe hut is small but perfectly formed. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the layout and equipment to make best use of the space. We had everything we needed bar a microwave which we could live without. We didn't get chance to use the outdoor equipment but could see that the outdoor space had been well thought through as well...even had a little fountain to sit and listen to! We were able to have a lovely mooch in the quarry and found plenty of Trilobites as hoped, to the be able to come back into a lovely, cosy and warm space to thaw out. We plan to come again in the summer months when we can get the best of the beautiful Welsh countryside.

United KingdomThe quarry and fossil hunting were exceptional. The hut is situated amongst a breathtaking landscape and wonderfully tucked away! Even when it was wet and windy we were very cosy inside. Emma was very helpful and kind, and her communication was excellent.
