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 KingdomWe were incredibly lucky to have booked The Old Barn. Myself, my wife, our friends, were visiting the Opera house, just 10 minutes away. Such beautiful tranquil surroundings, fantastic spacious comfortable homely impeccably clean rooms, everything finished to such a high standard. delicious breakfast with everything on offer you could ever wish for. The hosts were so kind, so friendly, so welcoming, I can’t emphasise how lovely they were and how they made our stay such an enjoyable and comfortable one. Absolutely terrific value all round also. We’ve stayed in more places than I can remember and I can honestly say this is one of the nicest places. Thank you immeasurably 🙂👍

United KingdomThat are holiday ended, neither of us wanted to leave
Such a peaceful and revitalising stay at The Old Barn. The secluded location only 10-15 minutes from Buxton was wonderful. Our room was comfortable and warm, with plenty of storage, a little tea and coffee tray (with some lovely cookies) and a nice en suite. The cooked breakfast was amazing and fresh, the eggs were so golden and the sausages tasted great. Accompanied with a great selection of fruit, cerals, juice and tea and coffee. Would highly recommend staying at The Old Barn.

Marvellous accommodation in a very peaceful spot some miles away from Buxton. Great breakfast with buffet. Fresh fruits and vegan options (we have informed them before). Lovely hosts. We got recommendations what to see and where to eat. We spent just 2 days, we wished, we could have spent there more time.

United KingdomFantastic converted barn building in a peaceful hamlet but just ten minutes drive into Buxton, or five minutes to the popular High Peak Bookstore & café. Lynn and Pete are very welcoming hosts and the rooms are spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. The breakfast is generous and delicious. They will also accommodate any dietary requests you have. Highly recommend a stay in this historic building and beautiful hamlet.
