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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomCouldn’t have asked for anything more! Facilities were outstanding and the service from the team was warm and welcoming. The value of the breakfast, welcome drink and the room itself were absolutely worth the money, we’d love to stay again!

United KingdomNothing - this hotel has it all right
The Merchant's Yard massively exceeded our expectations - all the basics were fully met with really nicely laid out rooms and all the details you might want (e.g. luxury toiletries, bathrobes etc). The full English breakfast was one of the nicest I've ever had ANYWHERE and the Sunday roast in the restaurant was also top quality. Service was impeccable with everyone being super friendly and helpful. However, it was the range of little extras that really took them to 10 out of 10: the named car park space, the welcome drink at the bar, the luxury bath soak. Highly highly recommend (and I spent 150 nights in hotels in 2023)

United KingdomThe large king size bed was 2 beds pushed together with 2 separate mattresses so there was a big gap in the middle of the bed Other than that nothing not to like
Great all round experience at this upmarket/boutique hotel/restaurant/pub in the heart of the Peak District. Although the staff all seem very young they all knew exactly what they were doing so check in and dinner were all handled in a warm friendly and professional manner. We were in one of the new rooms which was very well appointed and had a huge en-suite plus a fresh mini bottle of milk in the fridge which was a nice touch. We were also given a complimentary drink each which could be taken at the bar or even at dinner, whenever you wanted. The food was decent but not perfect (my triple cooked chips were sadly soggy) but it was a bank holiday weekend which is often not the best time to judge a kitchen. On the whole the menu and food were very good plus a nice wine and cocktails list. Lastly you get a dedicated parking space with your name on it in the small hotel car park, another nice touch.

United KingdomExcellent Breakfast, choice of cooked or continental, freshly cooked on ordering. The location in the village was fine, fairly central and we had a dedicated parking space off road. We had dinner there twice and enjoyed it. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, all the staff were very helpful.

United KingdomThe food service was extremely slow. We waited an hour between stater and main courses. It then took a half an hour to get one coffee afterwards, then the bill.
Beautiful hotel! Rooms spotless, beds actually comfortable, even my daughter's camp bed! Loved the bathroom with the stand-alone bath; powerful shower too. Just strange that out room had no window, just a remote-controlled skylight with blind. The restaurant was beautiful also, as was the food. We were even offered at complimentary drink each! Breakfast was also of a high standard and plenty to choose from; all table service. Overall, we had a fantastic stay in this little "Mecca" in the middle of nowhere! Thank you to all! Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomAt the moment, the restaurant doesn't open on a Monday and that seems to be a common theme across the village and wider area but apparently that is being reviewed at the moment and may change. When the only other thing I can think of is that the pump action soap wasn't that great at dispensing you know there aren't really any negatives.
A really lovely place to stay and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. I hadn't stayed at a 'restaurant with rooms' before so wasn't quite sure what to expect. The room was large, very comfortable and had all the facilities we needed plus a few nice little welcome touches. The Velux window controls take a bit of getting used to and there are no windows to see out of but then there wouldn't be a view so it's no biggie. There is an allocated parking space on arrival with an electric charger if needed. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Food is rather good too! We had the tasting menu one night and the Sunday roast is truly among the best I have ever had.

Not the first time we've enjoyed staying here and won't be the last time. The Merchant's Yard is a lovely hotel - nice and modern, spacious rooms which are spotless, an excellent bar and restaurant - and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Located in the middle of the Peak District means it's our go-to place to stay when visiting.

We had an excellent stay at the Merchants Yard for my partners birthday. Very clean and modern, the special touches were appreciated. The breakfast was delicious, and we had food in the evening which was also superb. All staff were fabulous, and explained everything and looked after us. We booked the hotel for the electric charging facility, and were impressed to be given our own allocated space. Tideswell is very peaceful and a great location to walk to Millers Dale, and easy to drive to a variety of places for amazing walks and sights.we did arrive for the annual food festival which was entertaining, but otherwise a very quiet place.

United KingdomWe missed a buffet choice at breakfast but understand they can be wasteful, it does give you something to do while you are waiting for your order and a chance to chat to other guests while you are mingling around the yoghurt selection!
The style and decor, exceptionally clean, the evening meal on Saturday night was delicious, generous welcome drink, staff very natural and friendly. We remember the building as it was before so it was even more impressive. Breakfast on the first day was eggs florentine...the best ever hollandaise sauce!
