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 KingdomNothing. It was exceptional. Would love to come back. We did, however, get the vibes that we wouldn’t be welcome again? We did make the mistake of inviting a couple of friends over with their dog. In retrospective this was a bad move on our part. However, despite apologising for the oversight, we felt this upset the dynamics. Have stayed in Leyburn over 20 years. This was by far the best accommodation we have stayed in, but not sure we’d revisit the Byre, for this reason alone.
The peace and quiet. Spectacular location. Loved walking across the field to Leyburn and back. Magnificent views of the sunrise and sunset. Great watching the bats and jackdaws in the evening. Accommodation was top drawer; absolutely superb. Spotless and beautifully furnished. Very comfy bed, excellent shower, great stereo system, and welcome box of goodies was a very nice touch.

What a beautiful place to stay. The Byre is very well equipped for a break away. Incredibly clean and comfortable. Stunning views from inside and the patio, which is a great place to sit and have a drink and watch the sunset. Sussane is really friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. The lovely touch of leaving a box of goodies was a very nice touch. I'm already looking forward to going back.

United KingdomI like a table beside the sitting area I did use the windowsill at the back of the sofa. I also like a footstool but if that is the only negative comment I have.
The property is very close to Leyburn. The host left bread and milk for us on arrival which was very much appreciated. The Living kitchen diner was quite compact but well decorated. Lovely views from the windows in a lovely part of the country

United KingdomI don't check my emails when I'm on holiday. Returned home to discover we'd been logged in to the previous occupants' Netflix account; they'd forgotten to sign out. Embarrassed Luddites are us!
The Byre is lovely. Everything is thoughtfully organised, attractive and immaculate. We had a very relaxing stay -- the bed is so comfortable -- and we couldn't have hoped for more.

United KingdomNothing to dislike at all!
A beautiful property, very clean, spacious, plenty of room for my three kids and I. Amazing location, we visited Leyburn, Richmond and Middleham Castle during our two night stay. Also popped down to The Bolton Arms in Leyburn for some lovely pub grub. Suzanne was a wonderful host, and we hugely appreciated our little basket of goodies upon arrival Couldn’t ask for more and we will most certainly be back in the Summer to explore more of the area
