Good for the booth=yes.

Sense .. yes of a sort.

But the offering of a covered check box is not a good idea.
It is not the same as a 'booth'. A booth will usually have 3 sides as well as a top - this aides hearing and speech to the telephone.
Sometimes the sides are not very large and you have to lean in .. but they help a lot in noisy circumstances.

A 'covering' may just be a shop awing - separate from the phone but still a covering. Or the phone could be under a stairway or bridge, all coverings but not a booth.

Words are important particularly when used singularly and also with people who are not that familiar with the language.

Take care.
