Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe only niggle and it’s small was the steps too and from the hut were too narrow but certainly didn’t take away from the place
A beautiful little shepherds hut facing breathtaking countryside views nothing for miles Bigger than looks in the pics and very comfortable and warm (we were there on a wet September day and we were so cosy) Absolutely recommend Would definitely come again and would stay longer

United KingdomThere were quite a lot of files around but that could come with the location being on a working farm.
It was such a lovely place. Bed was so comfortable and the views were amazing! Loved watching the sheep and horses in the adjacent field. Plenty of space in the hut.

The view was immense. The bed was beautifully soft. Everywhere was spotless. Not overlooked, just you and the scenery. Plenty of information. Possibility of buying from The shop for meat for Christmas

United KingdomWe loved jt all.
It was very well equipped for a short stay. The view was wonderful and the host had thought of everything, even chicken feed for afternoon visitors to the garden. The position of the hut was fabulous, offering privacy with a wonderful view. The bed linen was some of the softest I have ever slept in. We had a wonderful stay in this small but perfectly formed shepherds hut.

We absolutely loved this Shepherds Hut, the views were stunning, the place was spotless, the bed was so comfortable, the host Tess couldn’t do enough for you even leaving a chocolate brownie for when we arrived! You don’t need to take anything with you as it is all here. Tess even showed us the new born lambs which was very special! We will definitely return to Drift View!

We loved the tranquillity, the wonderful views, the location of the hut, with its own hen house. Sited on a farm, it was lovely hearing the animals. We were supplied with complimentary essentials,such as milk, butter,bread, and fresh eggs and homemade cake. We were able to relax and come and go as we pleased. The bed was very comfy. The Shepherds hut was very clean with all mod cons. It was a very short car journey to Melton Mowbray, and we enjoyed the Tues market and a good day out at Gates Garden Centre, which wasn't too far away.
