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 KingdomEverything was great. It has so much potential just wish the rest was open
The manager lyndsey was fab, excellent at communicating and keeping us up to date. Was able to check in early on request. Rooms clean, modern and comfortable, complimentary water and snacks. Beds nice and soft and lovely linen, there was also fans in the room as it was quite hot the weekend we booked. The bathrooms were lovely and modern too. Great outside beer garden area to sit and relax in looking over the valley. £6 for a uber into Sowerby Bridge

United KingdomI couldn’t find a fault - I didn’t actually look for any.
The property is exactly what I needed after a hard days work! Easy access, no faffing with having to go to reception due to the easy access lock box! Great location - great view. There was waters in the fridge and pain au chocolats and porridge on the side!

Very peaceful. Clean and comfortable room well equipped plus small fridge. Had Twin room. Took Charcuterie and wine as owner had communicated well that the bar/ restaurant is not currently open. Decking area outside. Good value for money. Will return

United KingdomThe location is quite a challenge for some cars it’s very hilly. Sowerby bridge has less to offer than Hebden bridge about 10-15mins away, we couldn’t find anywhere to sit in and eat other than one Indian restaurant and a Wetherspoons everywhere else was a takeaway.
The views from the balcony are lovely and having the balcony makes it feel more like a proper holiday! The bed was so comfy and the bathroom was very clean and of a good size. Lots of nice walks around the area and although the hotel is not within walking distance ( unless you want to climb back up the hills) it’s not to bad as it’s very quiet at night.
