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 KingdomOur bed was a little firm for me but was good for my husband and the shower pressure in our room wasn't very powerful, having said that we still managed to have a hot shower after a good walk, it just took a little longer than it would normally. These are not complaints just personal preferences and would not deter us from returning to stay again.
The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful. The staff are excellent, so attentive, friendly, welcoming, lovely people. The location is wonderful for walking with our dog, a good walk into Keswick too. We have dined and drank at the Coledale for many years as we normally camp within 1/2 mile of it and have loved every visit so it was a nice treat to actually stay this time too!

United KingdomThere is a book in the room that tells the guest about all the amenities, which was excellent. However, I only picked the book up to find the wifi password, which wasn't actually in the book; I had to ask at reception. So, it would be very helpful to have the wifi password actually in the room.
The pub and staff were all very helpful and friendly. We didn't stay for dinner but breakfast was good. Parking was onsite, which was excellent and the room check-in and check-out were seamless.

United KingdomOnly a little suggestion maybe another shelf in the bathroom to put various toiletries on. The small glass shelf was just a bit small.
This hotel was in an old mill and buildings in a lovely location set slightly higher up behind the village of Braithwaite with easy parking outside. Inside there were several rooms including the Middle Bar where we ate dinner, The George Bar, breakfast room and lounge. The decor in the hotel was wonderful and also it was decorated for Christmas which was so beautiful. There was an open fire in the Middle Bar which we loved. The bedrooms were on 2 floors. Our room was very comfortable with a view of the village and hills. The staff and managers were very friendly and attentive.

We have stayed here before and it was the first place that we checked for availability for our stay. It’s in a perfect location if you want to climb a hill or two and after you’ve done that a pint in the bar and up to your room for a shower before dinner is lovely then a good nights sleep and a hearty breakfast before the next hill.
