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 been convenient to have more clothes storage including hanging space.
We liked the open plan design and all of the wood panelling. The Shed is a snug place to relax after a day out exploring. Having use of the pool was really kind. Jayne and Brendan are really nice people - very welcoming and generous with their time. A lovely quiet location with easy walking distance of a good pub

United KingdomEverything was perfect..we think it could benefit from a new and bigger bed though.
The shed was like a little slice of heaven! Set right in natures pocket and so peaceful! The use of the pool and gym was fantastic for our lazy days around the property! We will definitely be back! The location was really good too! Thanks for having us!! Memories forever!

United KingdomNothing, we have recommended to friends!
We had a fabulous time at the shed. It was really exciting to be staying somewhere a bit different. We spent our few days at Craig-y-Nos, Three Cliffs Bay,, Brecon mountain railway and the final day we found the most beautiful waterfall. The Shed was a great base and we especially enjoyed having a go on the Thermomix which was fascinating and the kids loved the pool. Thank you Jayne and Brendan for being so welcoming!

United KingdomIt's not the easiest place to find but good communication from the host helped with that. Perhaps a little sign in the road might be useful if it's allowed. I am not a fan of air fresheners though I know they're popular. For 2 people the bed which I think is a double, might be a bit smaller. The bedroom is a bit little but perfectly workable, clean, pleasant and warm. The basin in the kitchen is slightly quirky and the shower cubicle might be a bit small for some.
They have worked very hard to create a welcoming place to stay. Parking is easy. There are so many examples of how much thought has gone into making this a clean, cozy relaxing place for guests. The kitchen facilities are excellent, and well laid out other than the sink which is fine if you follow the simple instructions. A lovely outdoor area for a barbecue at the right time of year. Loads space to leave walking kit to dry. There is plenty of room in the main area and a great tv and sofa. The bedroom has excellent privacy and isn't overlooked. If you like watching birds there is a tree right outside. Nice clean, fresh towels and bedding. Excellent wifi and a lot of good clear information about things to do supplied. I'd definitely stay there if I was working locally again. I don't know how my review was only worth 9/10. I'd like to give it more!

The Shed was a great hideaway, unique looking which we love, relaxing, spacious and great location. Plenty for the kids to keep entertained, t.v, games, books etc. Heated indoor swimming pool was exceptional and an added bonus. Lovely outside space and bbq which we used.

Location had beautiful scenery and was very quiet and relaxing. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Lots of places to visit for all interests. Hosts provided information about local places of interest. The village had several pubs that provided a good menu at reasonable prices.

United KingdomThe kitchen "sink" is a little unusual, a very small part of the overall amazing experience... but they do provide a dishwasher and tablets so that's great :-)
The hosts were exceptionally fantastic, Jayne and Brendan are both the loveliest people. I loved that the entire building is solar-powered and built almost entirely from re-used materials. Recycling is in place within the well-equipped kitchen, even paper waste can be burnt on the fire pit in the private garden. The double bedroom and double sofa bed provide ample room for 4 guests. They provide a gas barbeque, and very kindly allowed access to their own indoor heated pool which was perfect for rainy days, and allow you to charge your electric vehicle if required for free. There are a couple of friendly pubs nearby; castle walks and a range of beaches are all within an hour's drive. A massive thank you again to the hosts for their incredible hospitality.
