Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

SwitzerlandThe location is very remote and the access and road to the accommodation is not easy. Toilet seat in bathroom is broken as mentioned by other guests and has not been fixed. Also outside the front door the bin area was very messy. Could do with being tided up and maybe an outdoor bench to give some outside space.
The accommodation is very good. Spacious, Clean well equipped. Well finished. Ideal place if you are walking on the Pennine way.

United KingdomThe toilet seat needs to be fixed and the door lock is a little dodgy. Other than that, can't say there was anything we didn't like.
Loved the location, although part way up a steep hill. The views were amazing and the cottage is lovely. It was clean and tidy, ideal for a stay in the area.

United KingdomWe did find the road leading up to the property quite unnerving! The parking really isn’t that far away, however. I did try to communicate that there were a few issues. We found it frustrating not to have a dishcloth/sponge to do the washing up or wipe the surfaces down- only a cheap item but pretty essential if you are cooking and eating in the flat. We did point out other small issues that may well have gone unnoticed before our arrival. However, over all amazing value for money.
The accommodation was very well presented. Once the heating had kicked in (which took a while- it was 10 degrees inside when we arrived) it was warm and cosy. The beds and shower were good. The kitchen was generally well equipped- just missing a couple of essentials. The views are magnificent and the walking straight from the property is fantastic.

United KingdomThe road to the property is not good, which most reviews say anyway. I would not recommend if you do not feel confident at driving. At night you cannot see where you’re going and the parking is a good walk away from the property with no lighting. Highly recommend a head torch. We were also told we would be provided milk for our stay but there was only 6 little pots which you would get at a hotel so recommend bringing your own milk for the stay
Property is lovely. Really cosy and fab facilities! Bed is incredibly comfortable and the sofa you can easily relax into. Shower is amazing, so powerful. Heating system is also immaculate, heats the place up within minutes. Highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful break away. Neighbouring properties are also incredibly lovely. Great dog walks nearby Wi-Fi is super quick

United KingdomOverall it was a really nice and cosy property which we liked. However it was let down by two things. The settee was almost impossible to sit on and certainly not for any length of time. It was some kind of cheap basic out of shape metal frame which leaned way backwards. The other thing was the mattress on the bed we slept in, which felt like a put up bed mattress. Not as critical but an outside light would have been helpful. We don't often give reviews but we really liked the cottage and would consider staying there again and even recommend to others as we have family closely, so hopefully these easily fixable items could be attended to.

United KingdomOutside was very untidy. It could have looked more presentable. The WIFI network did not work and had to use my data for my entire stay. Some advice before heading here: -make sure you have food prepared and snacks (no local takeaways) -it is a very isolated location and gets pitch black at night. (No street lights) -it is for people who are walkers therefore very muddy
Inside was lovely and cosy. Sweet little cottage and different. Nice winter toasty nights. Staff were so helpful!

United KingdomThe fridge I think was broken but was turned on and smelt really bad if you opened the door (so couldnt use that). The drive up was a little hairy and not obvious at first where the parking was for the cottage but fine once we found it.
Beautiful little cottage up in the hills. Right amongst some amazing walks. 5 minutes into Hebden Bridge. Good kitchen area, comfy bed

United KingdomVery dark walking from main road uk to property- torch needed and sturdy shoes as very steep uk the little path- good adventure though!. Could just do with hairdryer and a sharp knife. I didn’t see a garden or anywhere to sit for warm weather but I could be wrong. This didn’t put us off though it was a lovely place!
Lovely cottage with amazing views, nice and clean and most things needed for cooking. Plenty of space for 2 of us in the lounge and kitchen. Good contact with the owner. Right near Pennine way but not far from Hebden Bridge. I would recommend it for a romantic getaway

AustraliaA heads up on the logistics of getting to the house itself. <-My wife had a temporary disability and walking down to the house was a little tricky. Luckily the neighbours saw us and allowed me to drive the car down to pick up my wife. I realise that this is how you get the awesome location but not being able to park close by the property was an issue. The toilet seat was broken despite the previous guests having mentioned this in the book.
The location was awesome, tucked away and tranquil. Despite the comments below we would stay again
