Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

NetherlandsSlightly noisy above the road, so sleep with earplugs or windows closed. But I did like the hub of the streets and shops. And cafes. With earplugs it is fine.
Beautiful place. Very characteristic. Adorable room, lovely details. Very well looked after.

United KingdomParking was a bit of an issue, extremely limited, so not an ideal hotel for people with mobility issues.
Breakfast was great, lots of options and the food was delicious. The staff were fantastic. Perfect location for exploring the area and Bakewell is a lovely place.

United KingdomThe only issues are parking and a lack of lift - neither of which they can do anything about, given the age and location of the building. And it is the age and location which serve to make this such a great hotel. Alongside the staff, who are really exceptional: from management to housekeeping, bar and restaurant.
Outstanding staff and a lovely location.

United KingdomThe only slight issue was parking difficulties with spaces being restricted. Understandable as the hotel is right in the centre of the town. An insurmountable problem
The location was perfect for us in the centre of Bakewell and near to Chatsworth - the reason for our visit. The art and design of the interior was exceptional with a great deal of effort being taken to create a traditional interior.

United KingdomThe coffee bar annoyingly only accepts card payment which is not on as cash is legal tender so this needs to enable both cash and card payments. Parking is a faff,if you lucky enough to get a limited car park space opposite the hotel where Rutland Antiques is you then have to go back to car with a parking permit (we were not told this by the hotel until we got there). Only other faults is too many cushions everywhere taking too much room up and mattresses could be of better quality. Also the chrome in bathroom needs dusting more eg on top of chrome bathroom bin and heated towel bars but overall room clean but far too many cushions. But room was lovely!
The decor was beautiful,classy and Georgian. The original Georgian windows are lovely and room was warm with central heating . Has a kettle along with good quality tea and fresh coffee bags and a coffee machine with pods. 2 bottles of complimentary spring water,nice touch. Good sized tv in room with Freeview. Netflix and Amazon also available on tv, you just need to sign in with your account if you want either of these channels. Also a Roberts DAB in room. The bathroom in superior room was excellent, had lovely bath&shower with a proper sturdy grab rail on the wall,bath mats and lovely full sized soap,shampoo,conditioner,bodywash. The breakfast was really good with lots of choice inc vegan.Can have cooked breakfast and toast,croissants, cereals,yogurt,honey,fruit,etc inc fresh cafeteire coffee, tea, orange juice etc. The hotel also has chess and bridge board and lovely sitting area inc a coffee bar.
