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 KingdomNo Wi-Fi signal. Bit disappointed when reading reviews that other guests were honoured with a bottle of Prosecco but we weren’t especially as celebrating my big 0 birthday! Dead batteries in dvd player.
Even bigger and prettier than photos. Host Kate was so lovely and welcoming. Lots of wonderful touches- nice welcome pack including chocolate and fresh flowers. Very clean. Smith”s Arms nearby was great for evening meals. Great location for touring.

United KingdomThis is a special place, but a little harder to find, partly because the Satnav information isn't accurate. If possible, in addition to the directions given, it would be helpful to have some kind of indication that we were in the right place at the end of the little road leading to the Barn. Many thanks!
The Threshing Barn is a wonderful place to stay and certainly has the wow factor! We felt very welcome and enjoyed the generous treats and thoughtful extras. Kate was lovely and made sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed the peace and the view across the field. The location is conveniently near Harlow Carr Gardens and not far from Harrogate. We hope to return to The Threshing Barn. Highly recommended!

United KingdomI would liked to have seen perhaps a couple of handles in the shower, just for extra support when showering.
I had a wonderful stay at The Threshing Barn, lovely hosts and all the facilities included met my needs. Location was ideal for spending the day in town. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomNothing to dislike at all our only complaint would be that the WIFI signal was poor I realise that wouldn't be an issue for most people but if you need to do some work or watch Netflix etc then this would probably bother you. Perhaps another router in the barn or a booster may help.
Loved the barn and the location was great so peaceful. Decor and extra little touches by host were appreciated. It was a really cosy comfortable property, exceptionally clean and warm. Excellent parking under cover and ample space.

United KingdomIf I had to be super critical, and I really am picking fine hairs; I would’ve liked a window I could open in the bedroom. However, that in no way, detracted from my stay. The property is a converted barn, so you can’t really reach a window in the rafters!
This property ticked all my boxes. Peaceful location. Friendly owner. A short drive into Harrogate. Scrupulously clean. Comfortable bed. Wonderful shower. Everything you would need to make this home away from home, with lots of thoughtful touches. I loved, loved, loved this property, and I’m so glad I discovered it. I’ll be back again at the earliest opportunity.

Friendly hosts, interesting decor, relaxing and peaceful place. Comfortable bed, great shower, everything we needed and lots of nice touches eg milk and orange juice and chocolates left for us. Not far from Harrogate and within walking distance of RHS Harlow Carr Gardens which were well worth a visit. We had a lovely holiday at The Threshing Barn.

United KingdomThe lighting in the kitchen and dining area could be brighter. The bathroom mirror is too high. The Wifi signal was a bit weak.
Lots of nice touches, e.g. flowers and cream cakes from Bettys on arrival, tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice, chocolates and DVDs. We were greeted and welcomed on arrival. Kate and Andrew were friendly and helpful and spoke to us frequently without intrusion. The bed was kingsize and comfortable.. The fridge had a separate small freezer compartment. It was secluded with tables and chairs for use outside, both at the back or the front of the property.

United KingdomNothing, it was brilliant!!
The Threshing Barn is a real gem! Kate and Andrew were lovely and very helpful hosts providing information about things to do. The property was a dream, quiet, spacious and had everything we could want during our four night stay. The attention to detail was excellent with everything from the decor to the little extras like chocolates, tea, coffee, milk etc. Wonderful places to sit and soak up the peace and everything including the sofa and bed were really comfortable. Ideal location for Harlow Carr RHS garden (just a 20 minute walk), Harrogate (a 50 minute walk) and Ripon too. Thank you for sharing your perfect oasis!
