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 KingdomRooms were a bit small for deluxe and needed a few tweaks. Lampshade could be improved and looked shabby and only one.Bathroom the toilet too near the door. Sink could have had soap provided there as well as attached to the wall inside the bath. The kettle was worn and needed to be replaced. Tv straight behind loo door could do with being more central. The shower was very hot at times, so you needed to be careful.
Liked the prime location in grasmere. Thought the breakfast was good value and included in the price. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Parking was OK but wasn't too busy. Generally, a laid-back atmosphere and comfortable areas to eat drink and chill out. Had a deluxe room which was clean and the bed comfortable.Towels in bathroom good quality.l Lovely view for window.A character building. Lots of tea coffee, etc, which is always a bonus.

United KingdomJust a small thing. In room 210 where I was staying, the sink is in the same space as the shower , which means the area gets very wet and you get wet feet if you've recently used the shower. The sink is tiny and almost impossible to fill the large kettle. Not very well thought out.
Exceptional service, comfort and location. The included breakfast was superb and the whole Inn is dog friendly. Highly recommended.

AustraliaThe bathroom was very small and awkward to manoeuvre. You burnt your skin trying to pass between the shower glass and the heated towel rail. You washed your teeth whilst stilling on the toilet.
Tithe location was ideal for exploring the Lakes. The staff were very helpful.

United KingdomStaff seemed very rushed all the time. Didn't get asked once how our stay or our food was in 4 days. Lounge area smelled damp after a leak. Dinner in bar was chaotic and food wasn't great. Breakfast was OK but has been so much better in years past.
Location is great. Room was nice and clean. Bar staff were friendly.

United KingdomThe room was slightly plain and I’d hoped for more after paying for a double deluxe room
My husband and I have just gotten back from a 2 night stay and we really did not want to leave! We paid for the breakfast and dinner option and were amazed by the quality of food on offer. Every single meal was delicious and plentiful and the staff were very friendly. The pool and sauna/ relaxation room was a hidden gem! It all looked brand new and was a real gold nugget to discover. We spent a lot of time using the facilities after a morning/ afternoon of waking and it really was the icing on the cake.

Comfortable spacious room with good shower. Loved the locally produced luxury toiletries in the bathroom - even went and bought some to take home! Excellent breakfast with choice of cooked breakfasts. Varied evening menu in comfortable surroundings meant we ended up eating in every night. Liked the comfortable residents only lounge.
