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 KingdomScruffy, run down outside . Dirty, litter strewn , weeds. Paint work awful. Outside door and frame to rooms was rotten .. . ....... It is a shame its been left to get in such a mess. Our room dark n dingy. Broken sash window , all dirty. Wallpaper stripped off Iin one place. . ..... Then came the bathroom. Toilet basin and bath ok and clean. But the toilet flush was broken, wouldn't turn off automatically. The bath panel was badly split. 2nd morning, shower water kept going cold hot cold hot etc then turned itself off on off on etc....... However, the worst part was the mould in the bathroom,. Along the top of the walls, on the ceiling, on the extractor fan.......it only needs a wipe with bleach! But as it is , it is probably a health and safety issue, especially for someone with asthma Meals below par. Evening meal OK but very small portions. Breakfast OK but disorganised service. Staff looked scruffy and not particularly clean. And why on earth would you call complete strangers ie the guests, darling/ my darlings????? Will try somewhere else next time.
Bsr lounge area of pub. Position of pub. Price for b and b. However , this is proof that you get what you pay for

United KingdomThe room was a good size but a little tired, there is enough room for a chest of drawers as there currently is not enough room to unpack. Could do with an additional shelf in the bathroom too. The period window frames do need replacing.
The staff were lovely, the location is wonderful, the food was super.

United KingdomThe standard of the room not brilliant. Electric Mira shower unexpected and dated, long time since I saw one of those. Shower over bath also unexpected for the price. Could be rather difficult for some people to use safely without some sort of grab rail.
Lovely people, great breakfasts and evening meal, good car parking, lovely old building in a superb location.

United KingdomThe room is close to the seated area of the outside drinking area and was noisy for parts of the evening. Close to the main road, traffic could be heard but wasn’t a big issue. The staff seemed to be under a lot of stress and on arrival we immediately didn’t feel as welcomed guests.
The location was perfect, with rooms located at the side of the pub. Modern decor and clean rooms.

United KingdomThe room whilst perfectly clean was little scruffy, pics wonky, cracked wall. The bathroom perfectly functional and clean but very tired looking, the floor in particular. The entrance hall and stairs downstairs looked tired too but a that said none of it caused a problem.
The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and polite. The bed was extremely comfortable and having a bath as well as a shower was lovely.

United KingdomRoad noise early morning, was woken up early because of this. Also was woken up at 6:30am by a staff member pulling a trolley outside, which was quite loud in the courtyard. Unexplained leak in corner of room on right side of bed on last night I was there. When I told a member of staff in the morning at check out, they said they weren't aware of it and didn't seem too interested in checking to see what the problem was. Felt it was a little rude, considering they didn't offer to check or thank me for letting them know.
Comfortable bed and nice room, very clean. Great size bedroom and bathroom. Staff were mostly friendly, and the food was exceptional. Next door to car park, good central location in Bakewell to amenities.
