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 KingdomThe location can be difficult to access dependent on the weather but it isn't a criticism.
The owners were very attentive and knowledgeable of the surrounding area. Room very spacious and clean. We even got upgraded! Although, only a small window for breakfast there are many different option to choose from.

United KingdomThe location (steep gradients from both directions) were definitely not for the faint-hearted! The partition wall between our room and the neighbouring one was not as well sound-proofed as it might have been.
Excellent choice and standard of breakfast. Sue was careful to see that we had all we needed, and gave us good guidance on how to maximise our time in the area, where to eat etc. House and room were fitted out comfortably and restfully.

United KingdomCan't think of anything.
The room was lovely, really comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. A word of warning though, the road up to the property is very steep, nothing that any car couldn't manage, but care is needed. All-in-all, we had a really enjoyable weekend, and if you are into walking, and have the time, then I recommend you do the 6.2 miles Cromford circular walk starting from the Gables (ask the host for the information sheet), because it's a stunning walk.

Beautiful location with spectacular views. Hosts were very welcoming with tea and cake on arrival. Lots of breakfast choices. Room was very comfortable (suite) with toiletries, towelling gowns, fridge with fresh milk (!), water, kettle and plenty of tea, coffee and hot chocolate

United KingdomEverything was lovely. Only one piece of constructive criticism would be to adapt the description of the parking to include that it's a very steep hill and a small parking area. Not a problem as we were the only ones staying but I can see this being a little hairy with more than one car needing to park.
The welcome, room amenities and comfort, the view, and the breakfast were all excellent. Sue and John were lovely and attentive enough while also leaving us to enjoy coming in and out as we pleased. The room was well cleaned and supplied, and the bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThat booking.com has this as 650yd from Matlock train station and it is nowhere near.we had to walk into matlock and then get a taxi. The majority of taxis will not drive up the steep hill, on a night in town we tried 14 taxi firms with no luck so had to walk home. John thankfully gave us a lift to the train station when we left.
Everything about the gables is lovely 😍
