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.).

I don’t think you can’t fault this property and the value for money is exceptional. The fact they have on site parking is a massive plus! They also allow you to park before and after your stay ,so you can still enjoy the area before/after you leave. It’s conveniently located ,5 mins walk into Ambleside town & has bus stop near the property if you haven’t travelled by car (information provided at check in with regards to bus service and gives you a map of the area). Breakfast is phenomenal, lots of choice! It’s a very relaxed atmosphere but also attentive by the hosts. Some of the previous reviews mentioned about the views and potential road noise at the front of the property. We were at the front and yes we didn’t have the views but we were out most of the day anyway. There was very little noise from the roadside, it was peaceful and quiet. We would love to come back and stay at Meadowbank.

United KingdomThis is the only negative about Meadowbank and I feel terrible for writing it. It did stand out though which is why I am! The walls between rooms were very thin and we could hear everything next door.
Very nice and pleasant location with a friendly and knowledgeable host. It was a short walk into Ambleside for local shops and restaurants as it was for local walks too.

Good location and close to main shops, hiking routes and bus stop. The breakfast was good. The size of the room and toilet were good for two people, and the views from the window were nice.

NorwayDespite turning down the heat the room was very hot during the night. The duvet was maybe too warm for the season.
Spaceous, luxurious room with everything we needed. Ensuite with a well-functioning shower. Practical breakfast form to be filled out the night before, delicious breakfast, helpful host. A very nice stay.

Room was comfortable with all the essentials. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice of options. Meadowbank is conveniently located a shortish walk from the centre of town and very near the health centre bus stop. Mike was friendly & helpful and gave me lots of good advice on the local mountain biking routes, as well as providing a place to securely store my bike.

United KingdomTook a while to fathom how to lock the door when leaving the hotel room, but that was more my own fault as I was informed how to do it!
Allowed to park up before I checked in, so I could go for a walk. Check in very smooth & room was great, more than enough for a solo guest. Breakfast was great & very filling, large selection of what to have (you pre-order the night before). Location was a short stroll back into Ambleside so ideal. I would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe exterior wasn’t as good as shown on the images
Lovely couple, breakfast really nice good choice of food. Very pleased The outside of the hotel was tired looking and in need of a paint job and tidy up. I was abit concerned when we first pulled up to what the inside was going to be like after seeing the outside but it was far nicer inside than outside.
