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...).

Location and surroundings are exceptional and the owners have improved them with added features such as the Trinity Garden. Breakfast included the best granola I’ve ever had (home made) and plenty of choice. The rooms are opulent and comfortable. I’ve already booked my next stay!

United KingdomThere was nothing that we didn't like..
We had 3 nights at High Dalby House, and can't fault anything, welcoming, peaceful, quiet, beautiful setting, lovely breakfast and a great night's sleep, can't thank Ian and Linda enough who, after a long drive greeted us with a pot of tea and cake...Would love to return with our dog next time to explore Dalby forest and the area more, with visits to Whitby for fish and chips, Whitby Abbey, Robin Hoods Bay and Thornton la Dale, just a beautiful place to stay and recharge and a stunning area to visit.

United KingdomNo dislikes other than staying in the forest I was unable to get a mobile signal to call out. This was out of the control of High Dalby House though.
My room was comfortable and so quiet, lovely view of the gardens frim my window. Breakfast was all good, fresh produce and a fabulous choice. The gardens was fantastic and my dog was allowed to be off lead without fear of escaping.

The location is great and the house is beautiful. It lies in the heart of the forest, surrounded by stunning gardens. The room was cosy and overlooked the lake. Our breakfast was delicious and the owners Ian and Linda made us feel very welcome. We’d definitely book again.

Fantastic accommodation, Owners Ian and Linda could not be more helpful and accommodating. We stayed in the dog friendly room which was beautiful with our young Labrador he was able to play with Owners dogs and had free run of the grounds a massive 6 acres. Breakfast was stunning with lots of choice hot and cold items to choose from. We are looking forward to our next stay.

United KingdomThis was a little gem, the house and big garden were beautiful and peaceful, this felt like being on a retreat, and I did some Qi-Gong in the garden. This was a restorative stay for me, and Ian and Linda were very welcoming hosts. 15 minutes walk from Dalby Forest visitor centre. As a solo woman, the wider area and compound felt very safe.
