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.).

We have just returned from our 4th stay in as many months, we love staying in no2 Herdwick! You’ll find everything you need, it’s the perfect escape. Great equipped kitchen with hob, fridge toaster kettle and plenty of crockery and utensils etc. Uber cute log burning stove that warms the hut up quickly and efficiently. Great shower, and comfy beds. Good size outdoor area with fire pit and bbq (have yet to use these as only visited in winter) a lovely stream runs through the bottom of the site too. Easy walk to the local pub which serves great food and drink. The hut is very clean and great communication from the owner. We look forward to visiting in Spring and Summer, go….you won’t be disappointed.

We had a fantastic night in a Herdwick hut. The beds were very comfy, and the little stove made it extremely warm and cosy, though it was rainy and chilly outside. There was everything we needed in the hut in terms of utensils, pots, etc. My two children loved it as well.

United KingdomOnly one thing, unfortunately the catch on the bathroom door didn’t work so the door would remain open blocking the seating area. Easily fix by using a fire log to hold it in place.
Love the location. Our hut was located next to a babbling stream which runs through the property. The hut was clean and spacious with everything we needed. Spent a perfect evening building a fire overlooking the stream.

United KingdomOur dislikes are small, we never spoke to the owners (all interaction was via email) and the local pub wasn't as friendly as we expected but the beer there was good.
The hut was clean and cosy especially once the log burner was lit. Access to the moor was a 2 minute walk along the bridle path.

United KingdomThe bathroom door didn't shut, no lock or latch, we had to fashion a way to tie it closed with a rope. Bed wasn't particularly comfortable, thicker mattress would be nice, but if you love a really solid/firm bed it would suit you.
Really cute sheppards hut, great location, we were alone on the campsite (as far as we could tell) for the first couple of nights but when there were other guests they weren't really noticeable. Felt like a nice bit of seclusion. Nearly everything you'd need for a glamping experience.
