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 KingdomThe steep hills to reach the property are challenging, but the views make up for it.

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect.
Everything went above and beyond our expectations, we had booked the suite for our honeymoon trip and it was simply amazing. Sue was so accommodating with us as we had booked a good year in advance and even arranged for us to have some lovely treats in our room. Highlights of the room was definitely the bed and amazing bath, both were comfy and generous in size. The view from the room really shows just how close you're to Matlock bath and we couldn't of asked for a better location. Breakfast was lovely with a good selection of traditional foods. It really was a prefect stay and we felt very much at home, thankyou Sue.

United KingdomParking spaces are a little difficult to manoeuvre into - just a note to any future travellers rather than a dislike.
The location can be a little tricky to get to (you will need a car or taxi) as it is quite high up/ steep and narrow roads so be careful but because it is high up, you get great views, it is quiet and feels like a getaway from a busy city. The hosts (Sue and John) were very pleasant, friendly and hospitable. The room itself is clean, comfy and warm enough. The final bonus was the housekeeping and included breakfast (all locally sourced) which was cooked by the hosts. Overall, an excellent stay and would recommend to anyone else who is visiting Matlock/ Matlock Bath.

United KingdomTelevision could do with updating. The location is fine for fit people but on a very steep hill to drive on and walk 1 in 22 in places, round Sharpe bends.
Hosts were superb along with the breakfast. The views across to Heights of Abraham are stunning.
