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...).

United KingdomIt's great value for money so anything which wasn't perfect was accounted for in the price and there wasn't anything significant enough to bother mentioning here

United KingdomThe bedroom was quite cold but comfortable otherwise. The carpet needs cleaning or relaying.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was a nice location as you can do a 10-12km walk up onto the scar to get views including Morecambe Bay. Lots of local products are used at the hotel and pub which is humbling. We enjoyed our dinner and breakfast here alot.

United KingdomRoom was rather small. There was no wardrobe so we used the hooks on the back of the doors. The plug sockets were rather inaccessible and so we could not charge our mobile phones.
The staff were very courteous and efficient. We had a wonderful dinner and the breakfast was excellent. Very good value for money. The area was beautiful and near to where we needed to be the next day.

United KingdomThe room we stayed in was really small we stayed with our dog luckily she was a small dog but there was no room to even move round the bed. The carpet was very tired and unclean. The bathroom floor didn’t appear to have been cleaned from the previous guest. The shower was tired all peeling where the plug was. The bed was so uncomfortable and a very old mattress kept rolling into the middle. The rooms need some renovation and could just be cleaner.
The food was lovely we had a Sunday dinner and nice breakfast. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Some nice touches such as hand-wash, hand cream, shower gel, apple juice and complementary biscuits. All local produce. The pub was cosy with a log fire and rustic feel. We had stayed in Scotland for weekend so was just a stopover to break up the journey home so was good for what we needed.

United KingdomThere was nothing really that I didn't like. The room was a little tired and could do with a lick of paint, but it was clean and tidy. This did not take away from the comfort and cosiness of the room.
The food here is a really good standard and plentiful. Staff were very accomodating and service was impeccable. They are very dog friendly and the ale was lovely. Definitely good value for the money paid. The location was spot on for visiting areas of interest, and there are plenty of local walks .

Lovely team working there. Helpful and chatty. Great ambiance and on a wet evening warm and cosy all fires lit! Food excellent! Plenty of places to sit with a book or join in chat. As a single older traveller I felt very at ease.

We unfortunately got caught in a severe snowstorm. We had contact with the team at the Derby but weren't able to make it in time for check-in. We were able to make it by 3am, and when the hotel opened, we were welcomed in, accessed our room for a shower and refresh then headed down for a lovely breakfast. The staff were absolutely wonderful, welcoming and had been very concerned with our safety, which was lovely. Although we didn't stay the night, the hotel is clearly well appointed, clean, warm and comfortable and the staff are terrific. Highly recommended.
