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 KingdomI loved every little bit of my trip to Starry Meadow. The shepherds hut was beautiful and very well equipped. Outside, it came with a barbecue, firepit, deck chairs and a bench to eat at. Whilst inside there was, a kettle, toaster, fridge freezer, microwave, cups, utensils and a little tv to watch dvds on. The location is beautiful. It's set back down a little lane and is peaceful and quiet. Last night we heard the church bells ring and watched the sunset across the fields with a haze of mist covering the land. It was gorgeous! The animals are gorgeous and I don't think I will ever forget, hearing the donkeys as you wake up in the morning. The hosts were brilliant and were unintrusive. Just before arrival, I received a welcoming phone call, telling me how the check in worked and then throughout my stay, a little text asking if everything was OK and to get in touch if anything was needed. There's a lovely garden centre/shop a couple of miles away called Vera's. We had a cracking breakfast in there and even bought a dressed crab. It's a nice place to visit and good to pick up some bits that you may need. There is also a Tesco nearby with a petrol station. We really enjoyed our stay here and wish that we could have stayed longer. We will definitely come back. Thank you.

The location of the property is very private and we felt very relaxed sitting by the firepit. The animals are a great addition to the property and we enjoyed taking part in a hands on experience with the donkeys, not to mention the wonderful wildlife that can be seen.

United KingdomIt was all wonderful.
Starry Meadow is an absolutely wonderful place to relax and enjoy being in nature. Our Shepherds Hut was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The bed was comfy with plenty of storage underneath. Good size bathroom with great shower and flushing loo! We enjoyed meeting the donkeys, goats and pigs and the cats that came to visit us. The sunset on the horizon was stunning. The fire pit was great and we stayed outside til late gazing at the stars and moon from the comfy recliners. Great location - we visited Sea Palling beach - which is huge with good facilities and also Horsey Gap where we were lucky to see a herd of seals bathing on the sand Good communication from Amanda prior to our visit and lovely to meet Ray during our stay. Book it - you won’t regret it!!

United KingdomFantastic place to fully relax! Cozy nook is basically your own private woodland glade with everything you need. We cooked on the BBQ and relaxed by the fire pit in the evening after a busy day. I don't think I've ever been so relaxed!

United KingdomThe bed was not very comfortable; the mattress was thin and soft and we could feel the springs. Would recommend bringing a mattress topper if you have one. It was a bit inconvenient to bring our own bedding and towels.
We were in the fox hut. Quiet location, gas BBQ and firepit available (bring your own firewood). It was lovely being near the donkeys, goats and pigs. Great location for exploring this side of Norfolk and going to the beach. We appreciated the seating options outside (picnic bench and two reclining chairs). Good bathroom facilities.
