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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

We had a lovely stay here before our visit to Alton Towers. Our room was super clean, great decor and the beds were so comfortable, we all had a very good sleep. Breakfast was delicious and really set us up for our busy day. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

The bed was a standard double and we are used to a larger one . However, it was only for one night!
We enjoyed an excellent breakfast - there was a good choice for the cooked option. Very pleasant hosts. The location was good for us as we were visiting family in nearby Cheadle. The room was clean and comfortable and quiet.

Location perfect for Alton towers. Breakfast was cooked to perfection and good size portions. Beds were comfy. Everything needed was in the room. Family room is a double bed in one room and twin beds in second bedroom with bathroom in between. Prefect for having older children.

The double bed is quite small so sleep was slightly impacted
The property is a charming and characterful property in the quiet village of Stramshall. We liked the separate apartment with its own kitchenette and bathroom. The cooked breakfast the following morning was fresh and delicious. The options to have continental breakfast options was an added bonus too.

It would have been nice to have a buffet at breakfast but they were amenable to requests. Some sprinkly sweetener would have been good for cereal. The low door frame in the room was not good as we banged our heads a couple of times.
They met our request for a vegetarian breakfast and the quality of the food was excellent. The room was lovely, the WiFi great, the parking relatively easy and the location spot on.

Maybe the bedrooms upstairs would be difficult for an elderly person.
The hosts David and Rebecca are friendly and welcoming. David had no hesitation offering to help carry luggage upstairs. Mother and adult daughter travelling together and stayed in Family Room with 2 bedrooms and sharing bathroom. Lovely setup with coffee tea facilities in the room. Modern bathroom / shower facilities. Amazing breakfasts with pre ordering night before. They have a small bar which we enjoyed a drink. Clean tidy and would stay again. Lovely.

Really lovely quaint building, well maintained. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated, with TV, good WiFi and tea making facilities, with some nice little extras such as toiletries and bottles of water. Beds were comfortable and we slept well! The owners were friendly and helpful, and cooked a lovely breakfast. Car park is behind property (though you can also park on the road), and only 20 mins drive from Alton Towers. Really great place and excellent value for money. Would definitely like to stay here again if we return to the theme park sometime.
