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 KingdomWould have liked a fold away stool to ease the climb up to the bed(I am a short person) and maybe a hand rail to the out side steps. Also better signage from the road to see where you have to turn into the property in the dark
The bed was very comfortable and the hut was really cosy. A lovely place to relax in.

United KingdomSuch a cosy and comfortable space with everything you need. The info book said to try and use the log burner as much as possible to heat the cabin, with everything provided to do this it certainly did the trick and added to the overall experience. The kitchen area is well stocked with tea, coffee and sugar as well as all the equipment you need to cook a proper meal. There is no TV provided which from reading the guest book is an area for contention among some guests but this did not bother us in the slightest! It was a nice break away from it and in the mornings it was nice to sit in the chairs with a coffee, log burner firing, looking out onto the hill view and listening to the birds. There is Wi-Fi available which works really well and the hosts provide board games, a lap top and DVD’s should you wish to watch. We enjoyed looking through the extensive book collection, some of which were very amusing! The outside space was just as lovely with fire pit and outside lighting listening to the water and wildlife in front of the fire on an evening was perfect. Hosts were on hand should you need anything but also respects the privacy of your stay, leaving some additional fire lighters on the doorstep for us. They also left some milk and some cold beer in the fridge for our arrival! An ideal location is only 45mins from Bristol and plenty of woodland walks minutes away. Puzzle wood was a particular highlight only 15min away. The Lion, one of the local pubs, served delicious food and friendly service only 5min drive away.

The hut is so well equipped with thoughtful touches from the owners such as milk, tea, coffee, sugar, beers etc. It's beautifully decorated with fantastic 70's touches here and there and the location is beautiful and so peaceful with stunning walks on the doorstep and many wonderful places to visit in the surrounding area. We particularly loved Tintern Abbey (walkable if you are feeling energetic), Puzzelwood and Chepstow. We also walked from Symonds Yat East to Symonds Yat rock via a suspension bridge across the Wye which is an absolute must-do! We didn't eat out at all so were fully self-catering. The hut is so well equipped for this, I found the hob a bit temperamental but that was probably just user error (there are instructions but I didn't read them). The area is well covered for supermarkets, there's a Lidl just outside Monmouth (about 10 minutes drive) and a Tesco and M&S in Chepstow (about 15 minute drive). The local Abbey Mill shop is also well stocked with local meats and some frozen goods - the hut has a small freezer box in the fridge. There is no TV but the hosts have provided a laptop and DVD's and there are plenty of books and a board game. To be honest, it's enough to sit outside with the fairy lights on, listening to the owls hooting! There is a fire pit, but we didn't use it and due to the fact that we stayed during the heatwave, we didn't need the wood burner in the hut either! Overall we loved our stay and will definitely be returning.

United KingdomWe arrived when it was getting dark and missed turning into premises. Maybe a slightly more prominent or luminated signpost would be good.
Beautiful hut in lovely country side . Quiet, peaceful and very relaxing. Everything you needed was supplied, even down to a well stocked herb and spice rack.The space was very well laid out with full size oven and fridge !!!!. Well worth every penny.

Tiny but well equipped and very comfortable. Firepit and outdoor area was lovely and if it had rained the woodburner inside would have been really cosy

Shepherds Delight is an amazing, well designed shepherds hut in beautiful surroundings with everything needed to make your stay perfect. The location is great for breathtaking walks and not too far to walk for Tintern Abbey. A gorgeous log burner is perfect for those chilly evenings with plenty of wood, or there's an outdoor firepit for those long summer evenings.
