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.).

Friendly staff, relaxed and chatty yet professional. When we told them we were celebrating a birthday of one of our party they arranged a lift to restaurant in a Daimler. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was awesome

United KingdomPG Tips Tbags! The worst & no other choice & no choice of oat milk or question of allergies or intolerances when sat down for breakfast. Also spa the chlorine was that strong my eyes were stinging & I couldn’t stay in there for long due to this. Was worse when I got in the jacuzzi, my eyes were streaming & also a part of the side was missing. Just little things you wouldn’t expect from a 5*
The staff were incredible! The place was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable.

United KingdomDidn’t like having to pay for parking as we hadn’t booked direct with the hotel. Unfortunately the dates that we booked weren’t available direct with the hotel and we had to use booking.com. The bar food in the pub at the spa was very disappointing and we left most of it. Never known my wife leave any chips unfinished before! The shower cubicle in our room (236) was very small and the controls didn’t work properly. The choice was either boiling hot or cold, not the best experience.
We enjoyed the alterations to the little pub in the spa, the new space works really well. We enjoyed the food and experience at the new Mizumi restaurant. The staff on reception were very nice and helpful. Liked being personally welcomed by the very friendly lady in the gatehouse. A nice simple but effective touch

United KingdomOnly thing that could make it better is if the spa was attached to the hotel. You have to walk outside to get to the spa which is fine but with the British weather isn’t always great! Would pack some sliders next time
Lovely rooms and location. Food was lovely and breakfast was great.

United KingdomHairdryer could have been better! GHD would have been ideal. This is the only thing that could be better which just shows what an excellent hotel it is!
Location was wonderful- nice walk into Winderemere and lovely views from the terrace. Hot tub was great - exceptionally clean and I liked how the terrace was protected from the rain - something we ended up really appreciating! Hot tub was roomy which I was concerned about since it was just for 2 people but we each had plenty of space. Room and bathroom was spotless. Heated mirror in the bathroom was a nice touch. Lovely Elemis products. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
