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 KingdomNot really a negative but the bathroom door was difficult to close at the bottom. It could do with a couple of coat hooks for the towelling robes that were kindly provided.
The shepherds hut is in an ideal location, away from the town (so nice and peaceful but a short walk away), and just perfect for a romantic weekend away. The bed was very comfortable. The log burner kept us nice and snug at night. It had everything that we needed, including a fridge in the outdoor kitchen and the use of the BBQ. There were even 2 complimentary bottles of Prosecco ready for our arrival. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. We stayed in it until the early hours, star gazing and listening to the running stream in the background. Martin, the host, was extremely helpful and made us feel at home. He even came and met us in the town and showed us where the hut was. Nothing was too much bother. We even had morning visits from Lyra, Martin's dog, who was after a belly rub or two! We will definitely be back to stay in the shepherds hut.

The location is amazing, It’s the perfect base to explore the national park from. The area around the hut is really peaceful too with good views and the sound of a running stream. The hut itself was clean, had everything we needed and is bigger than other huts I’ve stayed in! Martin was really welcoming and got us a table at his restaurant too which had great food. I would highly recommend staying here!

United KingdomThe location was quite hard to find - make sure you get directions or chat to the owner before setting off!
Very picturesque location, clean, comfortable and cosy. A short (but steep and strenuous!) walk down into Betws down a private footpath. The owner also runs and operates a pub in the town, which I would highly recommend for dinner - the food was exceptional.

United KingdomThe time went far to fast.
We liked this accommodation and hot tub location. We felt that we had the place to ourselves. The owners were on tap if we wanted them but left us alone to enjoy peace and quiet. It was a beautiful location. It felt remote but wasn't at all. The owners had a hotel on the main road with outstanding food. Beautiful place to eat .

United KingdomBooking.com needs to change the location it should be 53.084685,-3.788396 The only real fault is there was no welcome hamper with the likes of local milk and meat. Or at last be an option for extra £
It's very quirky and looked great. It's meant to be different and I liked that.

United KingdomOnly improvement would be the directions to the property, me and my partner spent about 30minutes looking for the property however a short phone call to the owner clarified we were in the complete wrong direction. And was soon rectified and arrived shortly after.
The location, the facilities on offer eg. Outside Kitchenette. The homely feel. The surroundings were spectacular far enough from the hustle and bustle but short enough to enjoy trips out.

United KingdomHonestly, nothing. It was perfect. My only note is for others guests. You need a mode of transport as the location is out of the way and you are not likely to get a taxi in this area.
The hut was exactly as pictured! The owner and his wife were extremly accomodating and helpfull. The bed was easy to set up and very comfortable, with the hut being perfectly laid out to maximise space. The hot tub was fabulas and because of how little light pollution there is out here, you can sit in it and look up at the stars for hours! The surroundings are beautiful and tranquil. Perfect to escape from the daily grind. Thank you for this wonderfull stay!!!

United KingdomI was a little concerned about being in the hosts garden, however, after Martin showed us around when we arrived, we were left to it and didn’t see anyone for the 3 nights we were there, so that was not an issue at all. Martin gave us his number to contact him if there was anything that we needed.
Cosy with everything that you need for a few days away. The hot tub was a welcome treat after a long day walking Snowdon.
