How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The lounge smelt like stale smoke that no amount of fresh air can fix . Ilkstone itself is not that pleasant but it suited my location requirements.
Well furnished and lots of thoughtful items and notes to make your stay comfortable. Quite modern and well presented. Host on hand to help with keys etc . Very secure behind large gates .

The only negative I can say is we couldn't get the heating on, but this wasn't a big issue as we weren't freezing, if it was then we would have contacted the host.
It was a really lovely little place, I loved the history part of it being an old converted barn. The print out information left for guests was a really nice touch.

The breakfast while accurately advertised as cereal that was available the storage of these should be reviewed and check as I found the boxes of cereal were all left unsealed and open meaning they were stale
The property was unique and clean with good facilities.

it was great for me and would sleep 3 but if it where 3 it might get very tight but for solo travel or a couple it is fantastic value and you get alot more than expected
the facilities where amazing and everything i could need was provided a kitchen with all utensils and equipment to make food with a fridge freezer ironing board and washing machine and cereals provided with tea and coffee so i didnt have to buy any for myself, it was like a little home from home, and the fact it was a seperate building it felt more private, staff were kind and sent instructions and where more than happy to help if needed

The strong smell of old cigarette smoke was a big drawback for me unfortunately. The kitchen equipment was dirty and the provided cereal was stale. The living area was not very spacious, but definitely okay for one person.
Easy access and good communication from host. The bedroom was very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped.

Claimed on the listing as 'Continental' breakfast. Reality a couple of boxes of cereal in a cupboard. No drinks or any other food options. Misleading to say breakfast was included. Did not provide an invoice despite my repeated requests. Also the key access is difficult, the outer gate jams and i had to half climb over to release the latch.
Rooms were clean, shower was hot.

This is a really quirky place to stay, a little bit different and totally unexpected. The attention to the little details really made a difference. The communication from Alan was brilliant and the pictures sent in advance an absolute god send. Having the small living area / dining room and kitchen with separate bedroom gave me lots of space to relax and unwind after a hard day of work. When i needed to work remotely the excellent WiFi really enabled this. I honestly loved this little place and would highly recommend this for anyone visiting the area (not really suitable for families unless its a couple with 1 young child)
