Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We had a lovely break at Riverwood farm Glamping. We booked both the Safari Tent and the Shepherd's Hut. Jo met us on arrival and was lovely. It was lovely to have the space to ourselves as we are a big family. We made use of the hot tub, fire pit and barbecue. The Hot tub at the Shepherd's hut heats up quicker. Everything we needed was there including a nice touch of a bottle of prosecco in the fridge. The beds were lovely and comfy and everything was lovely and clean x

BelgiumThe typical english weather, so the cottage was a little bit small...
What a great place to stay for four nights! The cottage was fantastic! We had a lot of privacy. In the morning and evening the children had a great time in the hot tub, in combination with the bbq. It was kind of Jo to warm up the hot tub on arrival. Highly recommended for slow living and glamping!

United KingdomToo many files haha, and the price was just a little high only in the sense that, we stayed from a Thursday to a Saturday but to stay for more night was £180 I understand that everything is getting more expensive. But as you can't arrive until after 15.00/16.00 pm on your first day so you essential lose out on half a day and you need to leave before 10.00 on your leaving day. So just seemed a little steep for one more night.
Brilliant location very easy to find. Our little 21 week old Border terrier loved it. Loved the walks and the hut tub was very relaxing.

United KingdomThe passing trains was the only distraction, but they are pretty infrequent and soon forgotten.
The location and property was prefect to escape the the rush of everyday life, to kick back and relax. Barbecue in wood land setting, relaxing in the wood fired hot tub and then to relax on the decking with drink looking out on to woodland. The isolation was wonderful, i hope they can keep the location this way, the hut is down a short path about a two minute walk from the the parking lot.

United KingdomA little tight for space for our family of 4, but if the weather had been better would have been ideal with the use of the outside space.
The shepherd's hut was very cosy and comfortable. Very clean. Was lovely to be met by Jo, who showed us the accommodation and how to use the wood fired hot tub, which was lovely to use after a long day. Fabulous outside space.

United KingdomThe bed was very firm ( personal preference) and there wasnt much outside lighting which was good for seeing the stars but not so good for seeing where you are going. especially down the gravel path or near the hot tub.
The location was beautiful. The hot tub and heated floor were a godsend. Everything you could need was supplied and overall we had a fantastic time.

United KingdomBeing very very picky, but the fridge was very small and the hot tub was a shame to have to "buy" the logs to use the hot tub. Also took at least 2 hours to warm up
The location was fantastic, parking not far. Absolutely loved the hut, was a small space but made so well with lots of storage space. So much outdoor space, was great to have a bbq there and loved the firepit. Bought our whole house, but was so unnecessary as everything we needed was already there
