Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomThe only thing I could say is that the tv channel options are limited but that didn’t bother us as we were out mostly and only watched tv before going sleep. I generally couldn’t fault the stay.
I like that it’s in a stunning location and with Matlock and Bakewell being 10 minutes away and Castleton and various locations were within 30-40 minutes of the property so can make most of yours days and not spend half the day driving and finding parking. You can come and go as you wish even when the pub is closed. Modern bathroom with good water pressure. Customer service is excellent. Staff and Managers and were welcoming and attentive upon arrival to when we checked out. From breakfast to having a nice dinner to round off our stay it was an enjoyable experience. Even the cleaner was nice and attentive making sure we had everything and asked if we needed everything. We requested to have same room we had last time and they gave it to us which we were grateful for. Both times we have stayed, it has been superb and I would definitely recommend! Perk is that you can take your drink from the bar up to the room with you.

United KingdomThere is free WiFi but it didn’t extend to my room. There was also only a weak signal for mobile data in my room, so staying connected to the internet was difficult. No air conditioning but there is heating. Soundproofing of rooms could be better. Shower temperature was temperamental. Google Maps & Apple Maps won’t take you to the right spot, so I’d recommend instead searching for “Osprey Charging Station, Station Road, Rowsley, Matlock DE4 2EB“ which is in the Car Park for Grouse & Claret and the navigation will take you to the right spot.
Clean facilities and comfortable stay. Really convenient location and friendly staff. Breakfast available for an additional fee. Overall good value for money.

United KingdomThe rooms were very clean and bed comfortable. English breakfast was freshly served from kitchen & continental breakfast was self service. We had a very nice evening meal and the proximity of the hotel was ideal for next day visit to Chatsworth House. Location of hotel was rural with plenty of parking. Would highly recommend.

United KingdomYou can only gain access to the accommodation when the pub is open. We stayed on a Sunday and had to be back for 10pm. This was very disappointing and should be made clear when you book. It made our evening in Matlock very short. We were clock watching rather than relaxing with friends to make sure we met the curfew! It’s for this reason we wouldn’t stay again. This issue would be so easy to fix with a keypad on the back door where you could change number regularly. The pub has pitches for caravans and camping whereby they could access the toilet block via a keypad system.
Good location in between Matlock and Bakewell. Also next to the Peak shopping village. Pub is very close to the starting point for the Rowsley circular walk. The breakfast was good.

United KingdomUnfortunately my first and second choice for dinner were not available , found it strange for a saturday as would have expected good stock levels for a weekend . Food we had was great though , just third choice. With staying in the hotel we were advised 20% of dinning , but neither us or the restaurant picked up on , might have been a good customer service point if they would have picked that up , not the end of the world
Great location , and service was spot on , room was really well finished and presented. Resturant was a lovely setting , we were there just to relax and that we did. Have booked again

United KingdomWe had a 3 night stay, purely for a ‘walking holiday’. Hotel is in a good location for nearby walks. Bar/restaurant is very spacious, lovely decor, warm and country style feel, very clean. Friendly / pleasant staff. Food menu was sufficient, plenty of choice. Drinks menu and drink choice behind the bar was very good. Food and drink reasonably priced too. Breakfast was also very good, excellent value for money. Hotel room was spacious, clean and presentable, bed / pillows were comfortable. Shower over the bath, shower was sufficient (water temp and pressure was good) Tea/coffee making facilities were good, replenished daily. Large TV. I would happily stay again.
