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 KingdomNothing - great stay
Fabulous hosts, lovely shepherds hut, very comfortable and a lot of space for something quite small! Great location for anyone going to the IOW festival as the shuttle bus stops at the end of the road.

United KingdomTracy and Rob make you very welcome, they are wonderful hosts. Nothing too much trouble. This is my second stay and hoping to do more. The location is lovely, set in a quiet field. The Hut is cosy and spotless with all the necessary facilities you need. I was cycling and its near a cycle route that goes through the Island which was perfect.

This Shepherds Hut, the first we have stayed in, was located in the corner of a sunny field looking at a rural setting. The owner came to say hello a couple of times, brought fresh milk and also eggs from her hens. The accommodation was cheerful, clean and snuggly - as we hoped. A delightful stay

AustraliaLuckily it was just warm enough to sit outside. So beautiful. Might have gone stir crazy if we’d have had to both be indoors for other than sleep and shower!
Lovely welcome. Beautiful setting. Sheep bunnies all abound in the green fields.

United KingdomThe lack of storage facilities (which is what you would expect in a shepherds hut) meant you had to be a bit creative when storing luggage etc.
The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We were allowed to bring our dog. The location was very relaxing and quiet. I loved all the amenities, it was perfect for a short break.

Had everything we could possibly need whilst being super cosy and exactly how imagined. Very accommodating when potentially arriving last due to work commitments but equally as helpful when plans changed. I would happily call this cabin home if I could 😅

United KingdomThis is not our usual type of holiday, but we thought we should give it a go. And we are so pleased we did!! We met Tracy upon arrival, and she showed us to our hut. (Nell), which was tastefully decorated with every essential that you need for a short stay, and spotlessly clean. The view is wonderful, with pleny of nature to be spotted. Very little light pollution if you want to do some start gazing. I would strongly recommend opening both doors in the morning and enjoy a cuppa in bed watching the sheep. Perfect start to the day. Thank you for a lovely break. We will be coming back.

United KingdomIt wasn’t quite as quiet and tranquil as expected as you can see and hear the traffic across the field and the football field nearby. We also walked to the local pub in the village, but as there is no footpath it felt a bit risky at times , especially around bends in the road . The mirror in the bathroom was very high up , so neither of us could see in to it! A hook for your towel or clothing on the inside of the bathroom door would be very handy. Also the washbasin is minute but then it is a tiny Shepherds hut !
Beautifully decorated with some quirky touches. Pleasant country views and a good shower. The owners are lovely , hospitable and very helpful and a lot of thought has gone into what people may need eg local maps, board games , kitchen utensils. There are two local pubs , and the food at the local village pub was excellent and good value .

United KingdomComing home so soon!
This was our first stay somewhere like this and not our usual type of holiday and it was a most enjoyable and pleasant stay. Everything you need is provided from the self catering aspect and milk is offered if needed on arrival. You are offered the use of a BBQ if staying two plus nights, we didn’t use this but probably would on our next stay as we will be more prepared. The host was extremely welcoming and met us following a phone call and we felt if we needed anything we could contact Tracy on the number provided - not that we did. We did take with us our own garden reclining chairs, as this was our choice for our own comfort and there is a lovely decking area to sit out on and look at the sheep and the beautiful views. We will definitely be back next year for a mini break all being well and would recommend anyone thinking about trying this out to do so.
