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.).

Incredibly comfortable. Everything we needed to have a quiet relaxing weekend. The bar / lounge area is a lovely space and the fire pit. Definitely a perfect romantic get away 🙂

United KingdomI think just the toilets being separate when weather is bad & through the night but this isn’t a huge issue.
Bed was so comfy, hut was cozy & warm, the bar is an added bonus with the log burner. Great location handy for the Peak District for hiking, we visited dovedale & Thorpe cloud. We also visited peak wildlife park on the way home which is a lovely little zoo 5 mins away. Also went out for a gorgeous meal to the black lion locally about 10/15 mins away, food was incredible & really nice pub

United KingdomHaving to leave was the only downside. We loved everything.
There simply aren't enough superlatives to do this property (or the hosts) justice. Quirky, rustic, beautiful, peaceful etc., etc., We arrived early and were met with the warmest of welcomes, from both the hosts, their dogs, Marcus the rooster and others. The bed was super comfy. The views are spectacular. Everything we could possibly need was suppled including a raft of simple games and information on just about everything. This place really is special. We didn't want to leave and will most definitely return.

United KingdomEVERYTHING. Gorgeous, comfy hut with everything I needed to be self-sufficient. The views and surroundings are beautiful and tranquil, enhanced by the wandering hens and ducks. The owners are lovely and friendly too. The shower block is warm and quirky, and there is a communal area with a TV and wood burner, which again is tastefully decorated. I had booked in for 2 nights but unfortunately had to leave early, as work needed me to travel to Bath. I would love to return.

United KingdomNothing wrong with the property and stay however I will say, do NOT use Apple maps for directions as you will most likely be taken to the complete wrong place, google maps is definitely a better option.
We came here was it is close to Alton Towers as it was something different to the usual hotel or B&B. We liked how cosy the place was and how the whole place had a calmness to it. The hut was very nice, the bed was comfy and it felt a lot more spacious than I initially thought it would. The hut was warm and had a heater which was useful on a morning which did not need to be on for long. The provided kitchen facilities were just what we needed, however the fridge was small so don't bring a whole load of shopping. The view was nice and hearing animals was a pleasant change. The parking was very easy making it convenient to get to and from the car. We didn't use the fire pit due to the weather however it is definitely on the list for next time, it was good that there was logs and firelighters available for purchase. The hut was clean and so were the facilities, the showers were pretty good. The bar area was nice to be in to just chill out and watch something on TV after a long day, it was a nice addition. The hosts were lovely, Georgie greeted us on arrival and explained everything well. Georgie was very helpful as we got lost (twice) and she gave us easy directions to get us there. We definitely feel that value for money was exceeded and we will be booking again soon.
