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 KingdomAbsolutely nothing, it was a perfect getaway.
Tracy was absolutely lovely and super accommodating to us during our stay. The grounds were beautiful, the room was spacious and clean and to top it off, we were even left with a little breakfast hamper in the morning. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, we just wished we had booked it for longer.

United KingdomSo much traffic noise from the road so close to the accommodation. Although only a B road it was clearly an important and relatively busy road, and with the heat we needed the windows to be open to create some ventilation overnight.
Lovely well appointed room with spacious bathroom. Vg sized bed. Very welcoming owners. The thatched roof and small windows meant that the room wasn't too hot despite the intense heat outside.

It was like a home from home. Large bed room with wardrobe, table, chairs, coffee table,TV, mini fridge, kettle and large separate bathroom. Gorgeous hamper full of breakfast food delivered in the morning. Hosts we so friendly and helpful. Driveway big. Hosts even offered use of their garden to sit and chill in. Would stay here again without a second thought.

The dairyman suite formed part of the main farmhouse but had its own entrance and parking. The suite was clean and comfortable and a large basket full of various breakfast items was supplied daily at 7.30am.

United KingdomJust a personal preference there was no muesli at breakfast but that’s not really a criticism .
The Dairyman was a lovely spacious place to spend a couple of nights . The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. We didn’t meet our hosts but that wasn’t a problem we found the keys etc and had all we needed . There is also ample parking at the property.

United StatesThe breakfast hamper could have included fresher croissant ,etc... they were store bought and 'chewy'
The location was perfect ; we nearly stayed in Dorchester itself because we thought there would be more going on etc. We couldn't have more wrong. The location of Dairyman Suite was gorgeous. Dorchester itself was a huge disappointment and what we needed an wanted ( great place to stay and wonderful pub/restaurant with a garden - only five minutes away. The suite is gorgeous - everything and anything you could want. It was amazing for the price ! The owners are lovely - so friendly and anything we needed - but who needed anything more than was had already !?

United KingdomWe really liked everything about our stay. The lovely basket with breakfast was great. Yummy cereal yogurt and juice. I would ditch the croissants unless you can buy fresh ones. ( Sorry not being rude but it would be far superior without them...either add a third cereal maybe granola or substitute them for something else)
Great place to stay for a few days. Very comfortable and close to interesting locations. Loved the chickens.

United KingdomIf you were staying more than one night, a sink in the main room would be useful, but I'm being picky!
The room was large, as was the bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Nice extra things in the room like hot water bottles (not that the room was cold) and dressing gowns. Lovely breakfast delivered to the door.

United KingdomIt is an older property and the stairs are very steep. Breakfast items are mostly carb based and a little more variety would be good.
The breakfast items were of excellent quality. The bed was very comfortable. The room was spacious. The shower was large and top quality. The owners are really nice and very helpful. Wifi and TV are really good. The location is peaceful.
