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 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 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 was a bit of a smell in the far end of the room we weren't sure if it was the drain. One of the children found a pair of underpants stuffed in the mattress which wasn't any of ours but I understand things can be missed and they certainly found the funny side of it
Lovely place and friendly welcome. We had everything we needed in the room and enough space for us all. It was nice to be greeted by the chickens too. We loved the cozy little under cover area in the evening and it was great to have the car parked right outside so we could unload. We found the beds were comfortable too. A lot of character here and we would definitely recommend

United KingdomDespite it being a barn, it was very cosy. The barn had a lot more than we expected, fridge, cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, all sorts. The electricity which is available on a paid meter basis, lasts ages. We only put £1 in the barn and it lasted us the whole evening and morning. Pleasant stay and local to lots of shops. Definitely recommend.

United KingdomNothing we ‘didn’t like’ howvever if we were being picky on cleanliness I felt toaster could do with a scrub and some plates left by previous guests could have been cleaned better although that isn’t the owner’s fault. Shower took a few of our ££ to realise that dial was back to front which was fine but maybe a wee note to explain which way/number to turn dial for hot water as we kept putting ££ in thinking it needed a certain amount to get it going.
It was as was described. It was quirky, unique, great value for money, great location-within 20mins walk feom the town yet views looking over the countryside. My hubby and I loved it especially the compost toilets. We’d definitely recommend too barn over bottom barn due to the toilets and undercover sitting area. These were great. It was very kind of Alison to have the fire set up on both nights so we only needed to provide the logs. Hubby and I would definitely return, our kids are spoiled and prefer the finer things so would perhaps vote differently!

United KingdomI was very happy with everything!
Location was perfect for heading to Alton towers. It was also within walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars and shops. Absolutely loved it! The lady who welcomed us was lovely and made us feel really at home. We had a private toilet and fire pit and the shower facilities were absolutely fine considering it was in a barn. Super quirky and a beautiful location we will definitely be back!

United KingdomVery little.
Although the accommodation is basic, there is everything you could possibly need. Beds were comfy and even the composting loos were easy to use and not at all smelly. Great location on the outskirts of Leek, within easy reach of a garage/shop and handy for walks in the Peak District, or visiting Alton Towers, Carsington Water, Tittesworth Reservoir & The Roaches etc.

United KingdomThe way the neighbours moan to the council. Please don't let this place be shut down by the neighbours, they are really grumpy and don't like people having fun. Please annoy the neighbours by not being too noisy so they have nothing to complain to the council for.
Everything. Was a perfect location. More than enough cooking utensils (as some say there wasn't). Normal size fridge with small freezer above. Shower was always hot, toilets were never smelly (there were 14 of us). Plenty of room for everybody without tripping over each other. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of day trips within 20mins drive including alton towers. The owner was fantastic, on hand if needed although we didn't need anything. Was amusing when having a bbq and a chicken stole a sausage off the bbq! If you don't like chickens then take a water pistol!!
