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...).

United KingdomThe breakfast was okay; there was lots of choice but the hot option was let down by the scrambled being runny & the fried eggs were hard. I asked for a twin room with a view but was told the twin rooms don’t have a view, which was slightly disappointing.
Lovely, welcoming staff and beautiful building & grounds. Alexander’s pub is a great addition on site. A very nice touch was a later checkout, which I didn’t know until we arrived.

United KingdomA breakfast buffet is always a bit disappointing as some bits become overcooked (black pudding, fried eggs) and some are undercooked and insipid. (bacon)
The staff were uniformly friendly and helpful and our room was comfortable. The hotel has excellent views and is a good location for visiting Kendal and the local area.

United KingdomThe swimming pool is small and availability is limited. Several daily lane sessions that have to be booked in advance meant that we could not enjoy it as we would have liked.
The room was very clean, although the bathroom was a little dated.

United Kingdom- Restaurant options are a little limited and pricey. - Limited parking outside the reception area, but there is plenty of space in the overflow car park (note, this is a little walk downhill, so definitely drive up to the reception to drop off your bags otherwise you'll be walking uphill with them!)
- Great breakfast, with lots of options (hot breakfast, pastries, fruits, yoghurts, breads and spreads, additional items made to order at an extra cost). - Spacious bedrooms, very clean. - Lovely staff, very welcoming. - Close to the town centre, only a short drive away.

United KingdomThe food in the onsite 'pub' had a lot to be desired; the roast dinner was 'okay' at best. Sandwich delivered to the room as part of room service, was dreadful and over priced!
Hotel was incredibly clean and staff were all friendly and helpful. Use of the onsite leisure facilities was a bonus.

United KingdomThe bed seemed to be caved in on one side. The staff did send maintenance when we notified them but it seemed the bed was only temporarily fixed as it was back the same during the night.
Staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was very clean and well looked after. My side of the bed was comfortable.
