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 KingdomMy partner and I stayed here in March 2022 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful giving us info on where to go in the evening. Great location for hiking up in the fells (few different trails to chose from), walking around Grasmere and Rydal Water and can easily walk to Ambleside. The breakfast was also amazing. Already decided between us that we will be returning!

Exceptional accommodation. Location perfect. Stunning landscape, once parked there was no need to use it until we checked out. Lovely walks, brilliant bus service to surrounding areas. Helena and Mark were wonderful hosts,. Made us feel very welcome and always happy to answer questions about the area and offer advice. Breakfast was superb. Only downside was we couldn't have stayed longer. We will definitely stay here again.

United KingdomThere is some maintenance needed in some of the rooms, minor wear and tear that needs seeing too, but nothing major. A little on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it!
Such a warm welcome from the owners, they literally couldn't be more helpful! The building and rooms have a lovely old world charm about them and are well appointed. Comfy beds and excellent tea & coffee facilities. Breakfast was yummy and the booking system for meals was so simple to use. The Badgers Bar just along the road was an excellent recommendation for evening meals, but get in there early if you want to eat. The place is a treasure trove, outstanding location, plenty of maps and resources for walkers and a neat 'honesty' bar in the evening which was very reasonably priced. Beautiful garden area right next to the river for relaxing in and in the evening we were enjoying a very nice bottle of wine on front of the log fire, bliss!

It was a lovely, idyllic countryside lodge. Had a river running just by the garden at the back and was incredible. The staff were faultless and contributed so much to the trip. Gave loads of information about Ambleside and the ferry system, along with a map showing the routes of nearby walks. Free Wi-Fi and parking. An all around great stay, and will definitely come to stay again.

United KingdomI am sure there was nicer rooms there but room 4 was a classic double and very small and shower not great also right on a noisy road at that side. So next time I would definitely ask for another room.
The breakfast was really nice and could not fault and the garden running down to the river was lovely . It was also good that there was a well stocked honesty bar if you fancied a drink. The hosts seemed very friendly. It was a very good location for walking with some very good walks right in the doorstep which we really enjoyed .

The friendliness and helpfulness of mine hosts were exceptional! Breakfasts were superb and beautifully served on lovely chinaware. Cleanliness was tip top and all facilities - beds, lounge ... - were very comfortable. There is a well-stocked honesty bar and a fine collection of books and maps, for enjoyment in front of the woodstove. The garden is lovely and extensive and it is immediately on the banks of the River Rothay. There is plenty of convenient parking - and there is a good pub/hotel/restaurant only 100 yards away.
