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 KingdomNot enough milk in the room for your brews.
Very central location and good communication with the owners before hand. Excellent little touch of car park pass due to location.

United KingdomCould have done with blackout blinds on the windows. Was light really early. The car park was offsite it wasn’t a problem but thought of my mum and she’d have probably struggled.
Brilliant location and really comfortable nice size room. Happy with the parking disc too.

United KingdomThe only snag we had with our stay was no hot water on our first morning but George was quick to fix the problem and keep us updated.
The property’s location was excellent - right in the centre of Ambleside and a two minute walk from bus stops taking you to Windermere and Grasmere. Lots of amenities and walks nearby. The room itself was beautiful, very comfortable and lovely decor. The facilities were superb and coffee/tea/hot chocolate and biscuits were restocked daily, along with a freshly made bed and towels, which was a much appreciated touch. The property is dog friendly and our dog loved her stay as well, towels were provided in the porch for wiping off muddy and wet paws before entering

United KingdomNothing!
Location was ideal, central in Ambleside within a stones throw of the shops, car parks, pubs/bars and restaurants. Perfect for nearby walks and attractions. Access to the building was secure but easy no navigate. The room was fantastic, modern décor but not taking away from the old features of the building. Bed was comfortable and all amenities were as expected, toiletries included too. Nice tea/coffee tray too with a good choice of quality biscuits. Parking free of charge nearby with the use of the provided permit, which could also be used in a few other car parks in nearby towns. The host was on hand via email/phone and answered the one query we had very quickly... really helpful!

United KingdomI fell in the bathroom and bruised my arm, twice. There are two changes of level. The top one is not a problem as the step is bigger but you can’t always see the smaller step due to the tile pattern. May I suggest edge marking to prevent future accidents.
Location great. Lovely room.

United KingdomNothing, something super picky, the bed was maybe a little smaller than expected but that is being really really picky but realistically it was completely fine and very comfortable
Fantastic location and friendly staff, super helpful information in handbooks and direct messages from the host with fast responses, thought it was a very considerate touch to talk about traffic problems outfront, something not in the hotel’s control but to make the effort to make us aware prior was incredibly thoughtful and added a very personal feel to the stay

United KingdomIt was a little noisy due to the road and pub across the road but ear plugs were supplied. I would suggest a sticker on the step in the bathroom as I missed it due to same colour as the rest of the floor and had to catch myself on the wall.
The room was big and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The separate bathroom was very nice and my husband loved the bath. Great location for town and to the carpark. The parking pass saved us money too.

United KingdomOnly Constructive Feedback ~ ironing facilities would be good. Everything else Perfect !
Super Cosy Room in a gorgeous stylish yet quirky Townhouse, location Perfect, extremely close to everything. Parking Permit is a brilliant perk of the Booking, especially as we could use it at so many other car parks around The Lakes. Totally Dog Friendly down to providing towels to dry off your muddy pup after, in our case, a few soggy walks. We would highly recommend this lovely Townhouse - will happily return ourselves, loved every minute.
