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 information folder appears to have been mislaid, this would have been very useful for using the oven on the first night. Dominic did say he was contactable but we eventually worked it out. Our daughter had stayed a few weeks previously and it was missing then as well. If you are new to the area, make sure to take supplies with you on arrival, especially if arriving late, as there are no shops close by, there is a co-op about 10mins drive away. This did not detract from our stay though.
The barn was easy to find as we knew the area well and also our daughter had stayed there previously so was able to guide us as well. When we arrived, the barn was lovely and warm which was great as it was late evening and we appreciated the underfloor heating. The barn was well equipped, bed was comfortable and the walk in shower lovely. All in all a good stay, remote, but close to Oldham and our son and his family. There was tea, coffee and sugar, also cleaning supplies, a dishwasher, washing machine, iron and ironing board. Lovely location, nice and quiet, walks on the moors nearby.

United KingdomSafety for children has been considered but this could be improved by adding a stair gate at the top of the stairs as I was constantly trying to keep my toddler away from the top. Also, attach the Malm drawers to the wall, these are notorious for falling on and injuring (or worse) small children. Nicely renovated but some quality furniture rather than the Ikea stuff would really set it off. (This didn’t affect the stay, just a thought). Also, scissors in the kitchen would be v helpful!
I travel to this area often and it is incredibly beautiful. This was my first time staying here. The property is located in a remote area but only a short distance from anything you might need. Unfortunately didn’t spend much time in the house or get to do any of the local walks but it was a lovely stay. The kitchen and bathroom are modern but not out of place in the conversion. Love that there was tea bags! Had everything we needed and it was a comfortable stay. It is very dark at night so managed to get an excellent sleep. It’s also very quiet, although the walls are quite thin so you can hear the people next door. This wasn’t a problem for me, I felt a bit more at ease being so remote but knowing there were people nearby!

United KingdomProperty had some areas that were pretty dirty, This wasn’t too much of an issue as the bedroom was very clean which is where i spent most of my time as i was out during the day. For specifics, wall as you walk in was filthy just needs a wipe down and it would make such a difference! The stairs were brown with dirt from shoes and there were dog hairs all over the sofa. Cups/ cutlery/ bowls etc were very dirty. I ran them all through the dishwasher however the tablet didn’t come out during the cycle, so this may have been the issue before which explains the dirty items. I’ve attached photos for reference but don’t let this put you off. It was an absolutely lovey home, cleaners just need a kick up the backside!
Lovely location, Absolutely lovely home. Good Wifi. Loved the fact it is a no-contact check in/out. Amazing View from the track down to the barn. Very good value for money.

United KingdomThe beds were a little hard for us, and the bedrooms were a bit small. We were disappointed to find out we didn't have a bath. It's a shame the view out of the window wasn't better as it's in a beautiful location.

United KingdomAlthough it's out of the host's control, unfortunately we had noisy/disrespectful neighbours on both sides. The property itself is in a lovely secluded area, but there are neighbours immediately next to you and unfortunately we were woken up at 2 AM by someone calling their dog, while the neighbours on the other side regularly had loud children playing. We had our windows open and often smelled cigarette smoke coming in.
Host was very friendly and welcoming. He went out of his way to help us and was clearly very sympathetic when there was a slight misunderstanding about our booking. There are lots of lovely walks around and you're really surrounded by nature. Thank you for making it dog-friendly! Our pooch Jack enjoyed his stay here and loved rolling around in the garden. :) The property itself is beautiful with lots of character, and is clean, cosy and renovated. We enjoyed staying a week here.
