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 KingdomShower pressure in the Chatsworth room could be improved but everything else was great value for money.
We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived, Ivan the host was very approachable and kind. The bedroom was cosy and clean and we had a great night sleep both nights. The view when you walked out of the hotel was refreshing what we wanted. Breakfast was tasty we didn’t quite get the cooks name but he was also very polite and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful stay guys!

United KingdomIf you are not a very big walker it is a fair walk to central pier where most of the attractions are however I enjoy walking so this was not a problem for me and was quite a pleasant walk.
I felt so welcome from the get go at The Derby Hotel. Ivan was so welcoming and friendly. My room was clean and had all the facilities I needed. I slept so well in a comfy bed and a perfect ensuite with a power shower. Breakfast was excellent every morning and very delicious and had a lot of choices from cereals to full English. Will definitely be visiting again next year.

My stay at the Derby Hotel was brilliant from start to finish. Hosts could not do enough, even baked cakes and pastries when we returned from our daily excursions! Breakfast was first class with a choice of plate sizes and food choices. Nice that we always had the same table for our meals. Downstairs bar for residents was fabulous with great music. Already re-booked for next year, highly recommend, 5 stars all the way, thank you Ivan and Tim...

United KingdomThe room itself, despite the wonderful view & size was lacking little bits that did not make it perfect but still exceptional value for money.
We have just come home from a 2 night stay at the Derby Hotel. Given the warmest of welcomes by Ivan who showed us to our family room & helped with our luggage. The room was a perfect size for me & my 7 year old daughter with 3 beds & a lovely view of the sea. Was a little worried about all the lights the massive hotel directly opposite but the black out curtains did the job perfectly! There was utter silence at night which was ideal. Lovely selection of breakfast, especially for us as we don't usually like cooked breakfast so the choice of cereals & fruit was a nice alternative & the service by both Ivan & Tim was lovely. We were able to store our luggage on the day we checked out & was even given some sweets for the journey home. Such wonderful & warm hospitality...something that is so important. The hotel was a further up the north shore than other hotels but was walkable & a really nice walk or right by a tram stop too if needed. We would certainly considering stayimg here again if we did visit Blackpool in the future.

Very warm and friendly welcome from Ivan and Tim . Ivan has a jovial personality which is required in the hospitality business with s great sense of humour . Breakfast was superb with 3 different sizes offered which is unusual in any hotel etc. Breakfast cooked to perfection and certainly the best we have had when travelling etc.. Lovely products including amazing hash browns made by the local butcher The hotel is exceptionally clean well decorated and care and attention have been given in creating such a homely atmosphere. Communal lounge and dining room were lovely. Lovely white bed linen and towels and toiletries provided We had a room with a nice sea view . Quiet location yet within easy walking distance into main attractions great for couples and familes with the added bonus of free on street parking. First stay at this lovely hotel and we will be returning. Thank yoi Ivan and Tim for our lovely stay.

United KingdomThe only thing I did not like, was the bed being quite squeaky. I sort of got used to it after the first night though.
On arrival, Ivan greeted us. He explained the rooms/breakfast/facilities/nearby locations and others bits of interest. The breakfast was very impressive with the choice of multiple types of breakfast and the ability to add items if you wanted. The room was a good size for the two of us with a good amount of storage for our stay of 3 nights. Clean rooms with very fresh and clean bedding. When we departed, we were seen off by two staff members, adding to the already personal experience.

United KingdomWe were down to meet friends and booked the Derby hotel as it was close by. We never had the breakfast but it sounded and smelled amazing. The 2 guys who own the hotel are super friendly and it was spotlessly clean and everything we needed in the room was supplied. I would definitely stay here again without question and when I do will definitely make sure I have the breakfast. 10/10.

United KingdomEverything about this place was spot on from entering to leaving. Ivan couldn't be any more helpful. The breakfast was absolutely beautiful and so much variety. My daughter (1) and nephew (2) must have thought they were on a luxury holiday the amount of different breakfast they ate. The sea view was beautiful to wake up to, made you want to get up n ready ASAP. Beds were super comfy and even put in a travel cot for my nephew, which was all set up on arrival. Parking was a weight lifted too as I could just park up and only think about our holiday. Although it was a little walk to the north pier and further I would definitely stay again. A day tram pass was £6pp so if unable to walk far that comes in handy. 5 stars from me, my mam, my daughter and my nephew ❤️ Thank you so much for being the best 😊
