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 KingdomOur host welcomed us and showed us to our room which was spacious and comfortable with lovely views. It had everything we needed and more. We followed a recommendation where to eat and it was great. The bed was comfortable and everywhere was immaculate. Breakfast was brilliant and Carole, the host, was bubbly, extremely warm and friendly. It's set in a beautiful location and we went on one of the walks in the information pack and throughly enjoyed it. Being able to keep the car on the Waltzing Weasels' car park was extremely helpful as well. We would definitely go back and highly recommend a stay here.

United KingdomI've just had a lovely 3 night break here and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The views from the garden and breakfast room are stunning. I use public transport so the location was doubly perfect - right on the Sett Valley Trail and a couple of minutes' walk from the bus stop to the station. From the Sett Valley Trail I could get to New Mills and Hayfield with ease and was able to access Lantern Pike, the Pennine Way and Kimber Scout. The breakfast was lovely and my room was clean, comfortable and cosy. Best of all, the hospitality received by Carol and the team was top notch - especially from Smudge the cat :) Some reviews mention things like water pressure and the road but that comes with the A+ location and neither were a big problem for me. Highly recommend.

I was convinced that the breathtaking scenery was going to be the highlight of our stay, but how wrong I was. The Waltzing Weasel was a pure delight, the right mix of history in the bucket loads and the modern facilities. you could have asked for more. large comfortable warm rooms with great views. the breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day exploring. As for Carol (owner) she was the star of the show! knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly and really makes the your stay a home from home. cannot wait to visit again.

United KingdomRoom 8. Bathroom light above the sink is broken (not a good look) Hairdryer is out of the ark and looks extremely dated. It does work though! Very small white tv which we actually didn’t watch at all (as we brought our iPad to watch Netflix one evening). It’s in an awkward place on the wall and and is too small to watch,say, a movie imo
Carol is very chatty and friendly with good local knowledge Location and views are stunning and within short driving distance to Castleton, New Mills etc Room 8 is comfortable Breakfasts are full English and very generous Easy walk to the village for food. We ate at Colloseo the local Italian both nights which Carol recommended. It was very good. Nice touches with water, mints, tea and coffee in our room. Much appreciated. Copious hot water and clean towels. Packed lunches available to order if you would like one.

This is an exceptional establishment in every respect. The room was great, the breakfast was absolutely superb and amenities and presentation throughout were excellent.
