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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThere is nothing to dislike.
Where do we start?!! We loved everything about our stay at Barons Granary. The accommodation was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It was nice to have our own lounge to come back to after a day exploring the area. The fridge in the lounge was very useful and Jo left us fresh milk, a bowl of fruit, some yummy biscuits and some cold drinks in the fridge as well. The breakfasts were cooked to perfection and there was a nice choice of cereals, yogurts and fruit juice to go with the cooked breakfast and toast. It was great to have breakfast served to us everyday in our lounge. There is also a kettle in the bedroom so easy to make tea and coffee when ever you want. It is in a lovely location, very peaceful and with pretty views overlooking the countryside. As we had good weather we took advantage of sitting outside in the garden. What made our stay exceptional was the care we received from Jo. Whilst we were there, our car broke down and if it wasn't for Jo and Jo's husband Ed we would have been stuck. We could not drive our car and all the local garages we tried to get to repair the car, were all fully booked for the length of our stay. Jo and Ed managed to get a local garage to do the repair for us and Jo even picked my husband up from the garage. Jo also offered to give us lifts into Rye and she even gave my husband some reading glasses when he left his glasses in a taxi!! This really is a wonderful B&B and deserves the highest recommendation.

Accommodation was really good and just what we were after. Jo looked after us and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation was very clean and well looked after. I liked the fact it had a separate lounge to relax in. It was only a few minutes drive into Rye. Bit too far for me to walk but it was possible.

United KingdomIf you want to stay somewhere away from it all, this place is great. If you want to be able to walk out to a pub, restaurant or shop, you would probably be better off somewhere else.
Jo asked what we would like for our cooked breakfast and it was delicious, brought to us in our lounge. We liked everything about this property and a great host. We cannot think of anything we didn't like.

United KingdomBed rather low for elderly guests, and the bathroom washbasin had a slightly wonky hot tap, but the shower was lovely.
Easy parking, delightful, quiet & peaceful rural setting. Our hostess Jo was most welcoming, friendly, helpful and efficient. Suite of three spacious rooms and hallway, all tastefully furnished and very well-appointed, immaculately clean and impeccably tidy. Breakfast was excellent and generous.

Having a lounge to relax in and a table for two for our breakfast. There was also a great wood burner. But the place was so warm and inviting. The highlight was the lovely Jo who made us so welcome and was very knowledgeable about the local area. Thank you so much , we will definitely be returning.

United KingdomNothing. Honestly this place is brilliant!
Beautiful, peaceful countryside location, which is very spacious and has parking immediately outside. Exceptionally clean and well maintained - in fact probably the best place we’ve ever stayed - not a mark or stain anywhere! Bedding was nice, lots of extra blankets in the cupboard if needed and a blanket in the living room if it’s not cold enough for the fire. Very comfortable sofa with lots of space to stretch out. Lovely homely decor and lovely clean bathroom! There was no limescale or mould anywhere in sight! There are 5 star hotels who could learn a thing or two from this property!! Jo was a fantastic host - very welcoming and provided us with a lovely breakfast each day. There was also fruit, chocolates and soft drinks available, along with great selection of teas and coffee and fresh milk in the room. The breakfast was of high quality and good variety available. We love coming to Rye and will definitely come back to stay again.

United KingdomExceptional little property attached to owners house but still really private with living room bathroom and double bedroom. The owner provided little creature comforts to make our stay even more comfortable. There is a small fridge for anything you want to keep chilled. Milk was proved every day as were biscuits, tea and coffee with the kettle that is in the bedroom. A small selection of canned soft drinks were also left in the fridge each day. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of cereals, yogurts, fruit and toast asking with a cooked English breakfast. The owner went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one and anything we asked her for was not any trouble at all.
