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 KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
We loved the cleanliness, the interior of the caravan was very spacious and the decor was beautiful. The oven was easy to use and the hot tub was a great touch to admire the natural beauty of the surroundings.

United KingdomThe only small negative I have is that the pillows on the bed were quite flat and there was only one each, but that didn’t affect our stay at all.
The property was clean, views were amazing. Absolutely loved the donkey and the horse in the field. Perfect weekend away. Fully recommended.

United KingdomCould have done with more pillows on the bed. We are used to a king size bed with 4 pillows, so bed felt small & partner could reach the bottom. It was only a small thing but I noticed the living clock was the wrong time, it probably won’t bother some people. 🙂
We liked the quiet and private location with great country views including the horse & donkey. We like that it had our own hot tub to use. Liked the large tv on the wall and the deep sofas for a cosy evening. Ruth was very welcoming.

Third time staying here and it was amazing again. Everything that you need is provided but supermarkets and takeaways are about a ten minute drive away. The hot tub is so lovely and looks lovely in the nighttime with all of the lights on. Lovely animals which you can see from the hot tub. Lovely weather each time I've been! We didn't need anything whilst there but Ruth couldn't do enough! We will be staying again for sure!

United KingdomThere is nothing to I don't like about this place!
I have stayed in Ruths properties a number of times and I have never been disappointed. Ruth and Dean are always there to give you a warm welcome when you arrive. The cabin was immaculate as always, and Ruth had even put the heating on prior to our arrival, so it was cosy when we got in. The view is stunning and made better by the horses and donkeys 😍 There are takeways local that deliver and things to do locally but we stayed in and made full use of the hot tub and huge telly 😂 but this is easy as the kitchen is fully equipped for anything you will need we was even able to make a Sunday roast! The break was just what we needed to escape the daily grind for a few days and recharge our batteries. We will definitely be back soon

Loved every minute of our 2 night stay. The van was lovely and modern, very clean and equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub was amazing, positioned perfectly so it was very private and peaceful, the views were gorgeous and if you're lucky with the weather, as we were, the sun shines down on it all afternoon, The sunset in the evening was beautiful. Ruth was really nice, friendly and helpful, talked us through the rules for the hot tub and caravan. Stick to them and you won't have any problems, that's what they are there for. Fabulous little place, only 20 minutes from Shrewsbury town centre. We will definitely return. Thank you Ruth for a wonderful stay. 😊

United KingdomRuth was so friendly! As soon as we arrived she was there waiting. The place is immaculately clean from top to bottom! There's everything there you need! We stayed for 3 nights and it was in rainy weather but it was still lovely so don't let the weather put you off!! Hot tub is a great facility to have! We had neighbours on our stay and didn't hear a peep from them at all! Neighbours are close together however the way it's all set out no one is overlooking anyone. We had lovely hills to look at and also the little donkeys and horse too! Very local to shops yet feels far away enough for it to be quite and in the countryside. It has a large smart TV and if you have your log in details you can use Netflix, Disney+, Amazon prime etc.

United KingdomThe place was clean and had all the items needed to help you ok your first night's stay. The 3 vans were close by to be able to walk around but far enough to have your own space and time as a couple. Host was very friendly and nothing was too much hassle.
