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.).

A hotel with a long pedigree back to coaching days which has been sympathetically modernised to current standards. Part of our group stayed in one of their cottages which was beyond expectations. A truly exceptional hotel.

United StatesThe bedroom is in the attic. You might bump your head if you stand up from the side of the bed.
The big plus of staying in the hotel is the breakfast. It’s convenient and saves visitors’ time in finding places to eat in the morning.

Great location, having the 2 venues really makes for a great weekend getaway with a different feel each night. Paper mill is cosy with a nice pub vibe and excellent pizzas and the old hall is perfect for a more formal dining experience with rustic ambience. The breakfast is THE BEST!!

United KingdomThe level of noise in the evening - we were pre-warned about this when booking and everything was quieter past the Old Mills closing hours.
The Old Hall Inn is in a fantastic location, conveniently close to the train station and town center of Chinley and on the starting route to plenty of lovely walks of different distances. Breakfast and dinner options were exceptional! The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. A fantastic facility that the hotel offers is a GPS tracker loaded with walks from the hotel that a member of staff is able to talk you through, offering good suggestions and answering any questions you have. The room was very comfortable and clean with the facility of a coffee machine much appreciated by us.

United KingdomOnly slight quibbles, restaurant related - We had to wait about 15 minutes for our wine to arrive (apparently waiting for glases to be washed - one glass was still wet through) One of the main meals was not available and this could have been relayed to us before ordering and disappointment(Lamb Bourginon) - we were offered it but with a 1 hr wait - this could have been done at check-in? Otherwise an excellent meal.
Excellent sausage and bacon - all well cooked.

United KingdomThere is little to nothing i'd say was below our expectations - we would certainly reccomend this to any friend or family member. Although we were situated above the pub and could hear people below, after 11pm - it was very quite and even before this, it didn't disturb us after a long day walking around the peaks.
The Room was excellent, cozy, clean and spacious for 2. Although the Old Hall resturant was closed on wednesday, the papermill was an excellent alternative which provided amazing pizza's and we even got to meet a chef at the Old Hall while we had our evening meal.
