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 KingdomReally minor - some decoration in the room was needed, specifically on door edges.
Everything! Great welcome from the team. Facilities are first rate. Mazumi is a great on site restaurant. A complementary ride in the Bentley into Bowness was a nice touch (especially as it was raining). Breakfast was superb.

United KingdomVery little.. the spa area can be a little busy but it was a bank holiday weekend so to be expected.
The hotel was beautiful! All of the staff were so friendly and lovely, a very personalised stay which made it very special. The food in the Asian restaurant was incredible, and the cocktails in the lounge were so good. Have been recommending to everyone to go here.

United KingdomThere was nothing I wish this property had apart from access to the outdoor seating area, outside of the cocktail bar. This was closed due to unpleasant weather so this was obviously understandable.
I cannot fault a thing about this property. Every service and every facility was to the highest standard possible. I opted for a double room with a hot tub, and the hot tub immaculate and had been cleaned/sanitised before our stay. The view from the hot tub was also amazing, making the hot tub experience that little more relaxing. To top it off, I requested a birthday package as it was my partners birthday, and they did an amazing job. They had balloons spiralling from the ceiling, some scattered on the floor, 2 big numbered balloons, and rose petals scattered on the bed (brownie points for me!)

United KingdomExcellent hotel and spa, we celebrated a 21st and 60th. The service from the staff was exemplary, we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco on arrival, the spa was brilliant and very clean. The afternoon tea was delicious and the use of the Bentley to bring us to Bowness topped it off! A short stroll back from Bowness made the location perfect! Would definitely recommend

Staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. The room was stunning and very clean. The facilities were next to none eg. Spa. The full hotel on a whole was absolutely immaculate.
