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 only downside was the steep walk up from Sowerby Bridge if you didn’t drive up, otherwise everything was wonderful
The property was very clean and warm with everything you could want. The complimentary porridge and croissant were a nice touch with as much tea and coffee as you desired. Very good communication with the host and friendly staff on site.

United KingdomShame about the adjoining pub next door being closed, but to no fault of the hotel. Instant porridge and pastries were provided in the rooms. Better pillows would be good as the ones provided did give much support.
Immaculately clean. Fab shower. Very comfortable bed. Well equipped room. Excellent value for money. Will definitely stay there again.

United KingdomLittle bit tired decoration wise, lots of scuffs and marks on walls, needs a lick of paint. Booking out is a little early being 10:00am, 11 or 12:00 would be better.
Modern. Good shower. Good location near town.

United KingdomWe would have liked somewhere nearby to go in the evening. The lanes and hills made for very difficult driving so we walked down to get some food and drinks. The road back up is incredibly steep and being 74 years old , I really struggled.
The room and bathroom were fine and very clean. We had a balcony room which was good. As there is nowhere to get breakfast we were left some pastries and 2 pots of porridge. Tea and coffee with plenty of milk and sugar. Value for money.

United KingdomThe only thing I would have liked would have been a hairdryer in the room. But I knew there wasn’t one before booking so I brought my own, but it’s just nice to not have to carry that round in a heavy bag. Other than that, it was great!
I liked that the check-in was completely hassle free. Just simply had to follow the instructions texted to myself which told me the code for the key box outside our room and that was it! The room was spacious, the shower was lovely and I liked the little touches for breakfast which included x2 porridge pots, x2 croissants and a mixture of teas, coffee etc.

United KingdomI struggled to get the key out of the lockbox as it was stiff, but managed eventually. If you struggle with stairs you need to make this clear when booking, as the stairs to upstairs rooms are quite steep, plenty of ground level options. The view from the upstairs rooms is lovely.
Parking is very easy and plentiful. The location is beautiful and quiet. The rooms are lovely and comfortable. Everything you may need is in the room. Plenty of tea, coffee and milk. 2 bottles of water. Lovely touch of porridge and croissants. The room was lovely and warm. Very cosy. Once I had managed to get the key out of the lockbox things were very easy. The text I received with instructions was perfect, all the necessary information and a contact if assistance was needed. I will definitely stay again.
