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 KingdomUnfortunately the bed was very uncomfortable for us , we had use of two showers as it was a family room but both showers were very poor and hardly a trickle coming out . It was also very noisy if some else in another room was running water . The room was extremely hot and the weather wasn’t great about 16oc lucky there was a fan in the room which made it just bearable. When we had the evening meal the staff then started setting g up all the breakfast facilities on the side so we felt rushed to get out ! I think for the price of £180 it was very over priced due to the comfort and the noise in the room .
The bar and restaurant area was lovely along with the staff all very welcoming and friendly . I loved that dogs can go and stay as well . The decor was lovely . Lovely Touch of there own brew in the room . Food was lovely evening meal and breakfast .

AustraliaThe floor boards above were very squeaky. Woke me up at 6am. It’s just part of an old building’s “charm”. Certain staff members were EXTREMELY loud. Not just yelling to each other across the room but just in general discussion. Unnecessary.
Great staff, great location, amazing food, beautiful room.

United KingdomThere is nothing not to like. It’s perfect.
Everything about the Devenshire is lovely. The location. The proximity to other public houses, chatsworth, scenery etc. it’s just a gorgeous little experience. The value for money is great. Breakfast was 10/10 and the service and feel is just lovely. Cannot recommend this little place (or baslow) enough.

United KingdomOur particular room was very tacky, decor wise, with sparkly scatter cushions, a velour headboard, mirror furniture, hideous wallpaper and purple paint etc, which was quite chipped and scruffy in the bathroom. The mattress was very saggy, but fortunately we slept well versus rolling into each other. The wifi was non-existent, so it was fortunate that neither of us had to jump on any work. There were very limited options on the breakfast buffer e.g. no fruit (!), although the cooked element was very good.
This was recommended as a base to stay for one night whilst we were visiting the Peak District. The staff were charming, the position of the inn was perfect for just walking straight into the Chatsworth Estate and I am also sure there were other great walks. There were complimentary bottles of home brewed beer in the room and a plentiful supply of lovely Bramley toiletries. It was also very quiet, considering it's an inn and it was only set back a little from a fairly busy road, although we were there on a Sunday night.

United Kingdomwoke up shortly after midnight feeling unwell, and was sick - I suspect an element of food poisoning. Guest car alarm went off twice in the night, so was unsure as to whether there was a security issue outside or just a car with a very sensitive alarm system
