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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomA beautiful location which felt really rural, but was only a 10 minute drive from Winchester. A great pub within walking distance (although - check opening hours). The shepherds hut was so cosy and perfect for two, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. We would stay again :).

United KingdomWe stayed when it was extremely warm, so it would have been nice to be able to hook back the door to allow some fresh air in as it did get very warm in there. Luckily we brought our own fan with us.
Lovely location. So peaceful looking out over the field. All very clean and well thought out.

United KingdomOnly tiny negative was the lack of hanging space for clothes.
Beautiful farmland location, super comfortable cutesy little caravanette. Easy to get to with parking for one car just in front of the hut. Shops within a few miles so not too cut off. Would absolutely stay again. Had a great evening in the garden with a campfire going.

It’s perfect after a busy day at work. Beautiful views of the countryside and gorgeous farm animals everywhere. I love it as I am left totally alone and know I can contact the owner if I need anything.

United KingdomThey could do with a fan in hot weather so I brought my own the next stay but apart from that it was perfect.
The location was incredible. The farm is close by behind you so it’s not totally remote but not overlooked at all apart from the nosey cows 😂😂 it’s a bit of a drive on single track lanes from St cross but plenty of passing spaces. No potholes. Extremely well equipped I worked the microwave by reading a previous review. Easy when you read that one. The bed was so comfy and the shower was perfect.

United KingdomNot a lot to say here ☺️ the location is in the countryside so just make sure to know where you're going when you book! The Uber drivers struggled with the right gate but they're easy enough to direct. Best to get to with a car I guess but if you want a city service don't go to the countryside...
Loved our stay here! It's a gorgeous hut and in a beautiful location. Great for a couple of just a weekend away! Loved having our breakfast overlooking the field. Didn't realise there were llamas / alpacas up the road by the main house which was a bonus saying good morning to them! Great facilities too with hob microwave and fridge so can't ask for anything more! It's a cabin so is supposed to be small but it's so well fitted out that you don't notice!

United KingdomVery comfortable, really quiet, close to Winchester but far enough out to feel secluded. Was concerned being 6.2 but need not have worried, bed was really comfortable, best few nights sleep in ages. Internet connection was really good, shower and bathroom great, small but perfectly formed, loved it. Will stay there again if I am in the area.
