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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomNothing to dislike
Nothing at all to dislike The hosts are absolutely lovely. There's nothing they haven't thought about ,as everything you need is provided / included . The owl hut / location is perfect. It's peaceful, secluded and it's set amongst nature, which we love. The hosts provide a lovely surprise, that being a welcome pack . Including, bread ,Welsh ,cakes , jams , marmalade, teas , coffees & hot chocolate . Also a large bottle of water provided in the fridge ,along with butter & milk. There's a really friendly / tame little robin that visits and likes to on occasions step inside the doorway to the owl hut ....so cute. We highly recommend a stay here and we will be booking again soon, to go back in the spring of next year !!! Thanks for everything Richard & mum Lynn ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ you really did make us welcome & our stay an absolutely brilliant one 🤗👍🏼 J & S Dovey

United KingdomQuite a hidden entrance so difficult to find, but yellow bucket definitely helps. Having a car is recommended.
Lovely hut and a private space. Had everything we could possibly need and more. Is a cute and romantic hut with a kitchen and bathroom. The family were lovely and the welcome basket was an added bonus. A very friendly robin also included! Reasonably close to some lovely countryside walks.

United KingdomNothing. The only thing I found was the bed was abit small as I'm used to a king size bed, however this is not the hosts fault at all as it was advertised correctly as a small double.
I followed the directions I got messaged and found it easily, The host was lovely. The pod was clean and very accommodating, it even had mosquito spray! There was tea, coffee sugar, milk, butter, bread, Welsh cakes and a big bottle of water already provided when we got there which was a lovely touch. Made friends with a very friendly robin who would even come inside the cabin which the host told us about when we arrived. I would definitely recommend!

United KingdomNothing we didn't like other than the weather for hiking.
The Owl hut was lovely and cosy. There was a large area outside for dining and a fire pit area. The area was great for exploring. We visited Barmouth, Dolgellau and Fairmont. We hiked up Cadair Idria on the 30th June. Beautiful scenery but there was very poor visibility at the top so didn't see the views of the lake that we expected. Just means we have to return and do it again.

United KingdomOwl hut is equipped with everthing you need, hosts have thought of it all, then added extras. Hosts are very friendly, and great communication. Great nights sleep, loved sitting outside having a bbq, listening to the owls, will be back to use the firepit on our next stay. Loved our 2 nights here with our Springer Spaniel Flo. Early morning coffee, in the peaceful setting, listening and watching the birds. Great place to stay.
