Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Location - close enough to both the hub of the village for shops, bars and restaurants and the many walks on your doorstep. An easy walk to the lake is 15/20mins depending on pace. Room - the room I had was large, clean and tastefully decorated with a huge bed. Hosts - Mandy & Adie are incredibly welcoming and are great for local info or guidance on your plans. The cooked breakfast is awesome and sets you up for the day!

The location is excellent right in the centre of the village. Easy to walk to all the shops, pubs and restaurants. Adie and Mandy were the most welcoming hosts, so friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the local area. There is no parking at the property, but Adie gave us a permit so that we could park nearby. The room was spotless, and the breakfasts were fabulous. It was our first stay at Brantfell House, and we'll definitely be back.

From the moment we arrived Aidy and Mandy couldn’t be more helpful. They went out of their way to get us parked. The property is very clean, warm and welcoming, with everything you’d need for a short stay. The breakfast was excellent with a varied selection available and as much toast and beverages as you could manage!

United KingdomFrom the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home. The hosts were friendly warm and gracious. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well equipped. Breakfast was absolutely amazing. There were 8 travelling in our party but that was no problem at breakfast time. There was a great choice, and the food was plentiful, cooked fresh while you were seated. Great location for those who like to walk and equally those who can't walk far. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely be returning.

United KingdomThe breakfast was amazing, you get to fill a little form with your choices and they cook it into perfection on the next day. The owners were friendly and very kind. We felt welcomed and very comfortable. The house is in one of the main roads of Ambleside and it's right between Windermere and Grasmere. So if you want to visit these places it's very well localised and you can get there on a £2 bus.
