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 KingdomBed wasn’t that comfortable and could really be Queen or King size - given the space in the yurt. Close proximity to the next Yurt meant sound travelled from them late at night - think occupants thought they were in something more solid that would dim the sound more. We also arrived in a heatwave (not typical British weather) which meant the yurt was too hot to be inside till much later in the day - not a true indication of the place or the owner trying to help with a large fan. In cooler weather it would be perfect. Distance from main road meant some traffic noise throughout the night but to be expected.
The location was good - very close to Llangollen by car. The view across the fields was lovely, nestled into the hillside. The yurt is very pretty with easy parking outside.

United KingdomNearly missed the sign to say where it was. The drive up is a challenge, but worth it
It was a fabulous yurt, quiet and peaceful, but very comfortable. It was also private. Kitchen area included kettle, microwave, fridge and hotplate Shower was good, plenty hot water All very clean. Outside chairs either in the sun or shade, very thoughtful. I walked into Llangollen along the canal, allow just under an hour, but lovely walk. I'm really glad I booked it, highly recommend.

United KingdomGets quite cold during the night, we forget kindling so we couldn’t use the log burner. I think a little list of what to bring such as logs would have been helpful.
Cosy and beautiful scenery. Great for a little getaway, me and my fiancé had a great time. Great location not far from Wrexham and Llangollen, walkable and accessible by car. The host was lovely and very helpful, and ofc have to mention Sushi and Pickle who gave us a warm welcome

United KingdomThe yurt was in a lovely location, very quiet and comfortable . Good to have the electric blanket as it was very cold at night, but the bed was soft and warm, with hot water bottlesalso provided. There was a log burner but we had to provide our own logs etc. Think is could have been set up ready for arrival then you provide after that. We didn't know how much wood etc to take.

AustraliaOnly criticisms I can make are when the yurt's fireplace goes out during the night it was super cold in the morning during my stay as no other heating available. I'm glad it wasn't snowing. The toilet wasn't working properly with a jug of water needed to flush, and the kitchen sink faucet kept coming off spraying water everywhere. Simon is aware of these, so I expect he will get onto repairs quickly. There were two bath mats but no bath towels supplied, which I think was just an oversight and as I was leaving very early I didn't worry about this for one morning. The kitchen dish cloth and brush are really old and grubby, so hopefully these will be regularly replaced.
This place is a great fun alternative to typical airbnb or hotel. The yurt is secure and sturdy. I stayed 1 night in late December, and wind gusts were strong during the night, but I wasn't concerned all. The wood burning enclosed fireplace adds atmosphere and warmth with wood and coke provided for 1 night Kitchen and bathroom are outside yurt, which didn't bother me, and I made use of the bbq and electric hotplate. I could park my car right outside the yurt. The bed was comfy. Simon, the owner manager, was really lovely, responsive and helped me with kindling and paper for the bbq so I could cook a much wanted fillet steak, baked potato and veggies, also offering oil and vinegar if I needed it. All said, I definitely recommend the yurt and enjoyed my stay. Thank you, Simon

United KingdomFinding the driveway to the location was poorly detailed and took a phone call to be directed in. The final gravel driveway is extremely steep and could be challenging for some vehicles. We were not greeted by the owners even though they live on site, but we didi eventually get to meet them on the 2nd day. The kitchen is very basic but sufficient if you just want to make tea/coffee or a very simple meal. The shower room was clean and utilitarian. The shower/etc were all good. However, the camping style toilet had a problem with the hand pump making it difficult to flush at all. The mixer tap in the kitchen was faulty causing water to spurt upwards!
The yurt was well appointed inside with everything that one might expect. Comfortable, clean and cozy.
