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...).

United States of AmericaOur family returned for a second visit this season as our first experience was so lovely and memorable. Our second visit was just as wonderful as the first. Barrows House offers the unique balance of modern comforts with the charm of personal touches while being hosted in a beautifully inviting manner. We felt welcomed as if by “friends or family” during our stay and look forward to visiting again. Bed is very comfortable, furnishings are aligned with the history of home, while feeling clean and fresh. Meals were memorably delicious and well presented with a perfectly curated menu for both our children and for my husband and I. A unique experience at Barrows House is highly recommended.

What a gorgeous property! Our bed was super comfortable, the water was hot, the staff was so kind and attentive. I have an allergy to down/feathers and they had backup linens and pillows already in the room - so thoughtful! The grounds are gorgeous and the breakfast was delicious. We didn't get to eat at the on-site restaurant, but everyone in town spoke very highly of the food there!

United States of AmericaIt’s a beautiful old house (the barrows) so you can expect low ceilings and heat with a radiator that was difficult to operate and a bit noisy at times. A bit expensive
Excellent stay. Very quaint. Great breakfast and great restaurant too. Staff was very friendly. I would come back.

United States of AmericaIt was as expected. The only other time I stayed there was 1983 when I hosted my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Living in Texas, the fall foliage didn’t disappoint.
The inclusion of breakfasts was a definite plus. Excellent food selections. Walking or driving to the Dorset Inn was not a hassle.

The room was very tastefully decorated and the bathroom was spa-like. We were in Mockingbird #3 and had our own private entrance/exit to outside. The restaurant was just a short walk away and was deeeelicious. We also stopped at the firepit on the walk over. Breakfast was at The Dorset Inn, a half a mile away, It was a beautiful morning walk or drive. We had a voucher for anything on the menu and it was sooo good! Check in/out was extremely quick and easy.

United States of AmericaEverything was great. My only suggestion for the property would be to get some comfortable chairs -- adirondack chairs, etc. -- to disburse around the property (under some trees, in the gazebo) for sitting and reading.
Location is very nice. Included breakfasts were very good.

United States of AmericaFor the cost of the stay the room was underwhelming. While it was adequate, I was expecting it to be a bit larger based on the pictures from the website. It would have been nice if there would have been other spaces to "hang out", aside from the one living room, since the room was small. It was super cold, so it was a bit inconvenient that you had to get breakfast off site at a sister property.
The location is very good and in close proximity to popular areas. The Inn itself is quaint, clean and comfortable. The restaurant/bar onsite is excellent and food was very good!

United States of AmericaWe have been staying at Barrows House for about 35 years. The Inn still has that Vermont charm, but the emphasis of the new owners seems to be directed more toward the event and wedding business than the individual traveler. The restaurant menu and the hours of operation were a bit disappointing. The prices throughout the region, not just at the Dorset properties, were unbelievably high and the restaurant choices were very limited due to severely curtailed operating days and hours. You could starve on a Tuesday or Wednesday night in the Manchester region.
