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 KingdomWent there knowing it was going to be a nice weekend. We went the previous year and had breakfast outside, it was lovely. This year we weren’t allowed, except for coffee!! A bit ridiculous considering the low number of guests staying at the hotel. The receptionist was like a robot and didn’t make us feel welcome. Restaurant wasn’t open in the evening and the pub down the road served dreadful food.
Location is perfect and the hotel is lovely.

United KingdomThe duvet was far too hot for the time of year. We didn’t sleep well despite the bed being very comfy it was just far too hot! The air con kept cutting in and waking me up. I think I should have opened the window instead. Could have done with a little music in the bar as we were in there by ourselves and it seemed very quiet!
The breakfast was great. Plus you had oat milk as I’m off dairy atm. Loved all the historical paintings and antique furniture. It was a fascinating hotel and the communal areas were lovely. The lady who was working at breakfast was delightful as we spoke about the Isles of Scilly where we and she frequent! The lady on reception in the evening called about 4 taxi firms for us so that we could get to Beeley for some supper as it was the night the peacock wasn’t serving food. The receptionist this morning gave us a route to follow for a good walk which we thoroughly enjoyed and took us most of the day from Beeley to Chatsworth in a circular route.

United KingdomBedroom with gap between bathroom and bed felt too tight and not relaxing. Visiting in March and having log burners at home - it felt a bit depressing on a grey wet night in a sitting room with a fireplace but no fire. Apparently the fire doesn’t work well so they don’t light it. I suggested spending some money and putting a liner up as this is something that comes up in the reviews. The bar area whilst having a fire is not comfortable - only a couple of soft chairs mainly benches and hard chairs. A small country hotel needs comfy chairs and a fire.
Food was good. Bed comfortable.Great circular walk from the hotel.

United KingdomBreakfast. The staff apologised for being busy. All orders were running late. They only had the hotel guests to deal with. Our kippers arrived after an hour and weren't cooked. We left and complained to reception. We were refunded £28. The room cost £320 for the night. With this level of service - it's daylight robbery.
This is the first time I've stayed at a hotel which seems to be run for the staff rather then the guests. A novel experience I hope not to repeat. The small bar has an arcane drinks ordering system. The barman asks what you'd like, says 'take a seat' and then mixes your drink. He then chats with other staff members until they've dealt with their social calendars/interpersonal relationships/world economic affairs. Then yet another staff member brings the drink. All in one small room. A really dire form of performative nonsense.
