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 KingdomBeautiful old fashioned hotel, surrounded by nature and wildlife. A cute teddy bear toy was left on the bed for my little boy, he loved it! And this thoughtful gift made our stay just a little more special.

United KingdomWe were not notified beforehand that there was an extra charge for the dog. Although, may have been on the small print somewhere and I missed it.
Property grounds are very nice, we had the dog and was perfect to walk her. Very nice views at sunset and sun rise. Breakfast was very nice, good selection of cooked brekkie.

United StatesJust small things. The bed wasn't as comfortable as we would've liked. Too firm. The hairdryer was almost unusable for my wife. The mirror wasn't placed close enough to the plug and with the deadman switch it was almost impossible to use.
The staff were great. The location and grounds are amazing. I felt that it was a good value for the price we paid. The bathroom was nice and modern. No separate taps!

United StatesThis is 2024. NOT having daily room service (the making of beds. changing of towels and soap, shampoo, etc., not emptying wastebaskets) except by request due to "Covid" is ridiculous! We have encountered this excuse in NO other properties in the last two years.
The property was wonderful...GORGEOUS! The pub and food were lovely. Personnel welcoming.

United StatesThe room was not as pictured. The bathroom was so small you couldn’t enjoy your bath. The so called great breakfast was expensive and the continental breakfast was also expensive and of very mediocre quality.
The views from the property were spectacular.

This was my second time at this hotel and it did not disappoint me at all. The service, location, views, room size and cleanliness were exceptional. The staff are so helpful and go above and beyond to cater to your needs. The hotel is set in a beautiful location overlooking the lake, giving you private access to the lake. The grounds are kept beautifully manicured with an abundance of colourful flora.

United KingdomLovely, traditional Lake District hotel, set in immaculate grounds with paths alongside Lake Windermere. A really warm welcome from happy, friendly staff who can't do enough for you. Beautiful spotless room, tasty hot breakfast with lots of choices. There's nothing to not like about this gem! My little dog was made very welcome and was provided with treat box containing a ball, poop bags and a tub of treats which he loved. The treats contained ingredients to aid relaxation at bedtime - so thoughtful! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
