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 KingdomHaving paid for a lake view, it was only a partial view. A lake view room with bath wasn't available. Shower room was very small.
We liked the service both in the restaurant a d the bar. The lake view is wonderful. The restaurant food was lovely.

United KingdomBreakfast - one morning we ordered ‘eggs’ benedict, we received one small slice of brioche with one poached egg a little ham swimming in sauce, I’ve never received one egg for ‘eggs’ Benedict. Next morning we decided on the full english - sausage was hard and of a solid texture, the fried egg yoke was hard, scrambled egg wasn’t scrambled enough and I’m still trying to decide how the slice of bacon had been cooked ‘microwaved’ I would think, it certainly had not been grilled or fried. For a 4* hotel I would expect better quality of food than we had and also charging £15 a night for parking car in hotel car park was a disgrace.

United KingdomPlease see note above about the lift.
Always wanted to try the Belsfield hotel. Booking in was a breeze, lovely room, super comfy beds & bathroom. The weather in the evening was atrocious, so we dined in. The food was delicious at dinner & breakfast (except for the toaster)! The only issue we had was the antiquated lift- which doesn't work if someone doesn't shut the door properly on another floor to you. When you are disabled & have difficulty walking, it is no joke to have to carry cases downstairs! Hsving said that, we very much wenjoyed our stay.

United KingdomI didn't like being ignored at my evening meal by one waiter who couldn't be bothered to ask me if I wanted a dessert after everyone had left. The lateness of my mint tea arriving, I had to go and ask where it had got to. The lack of information from the reception when I arrived, as to what time was breakfast, and anything else I needed to know. The room was small, the view from the window was awful (must remember to book a room with a garden view or lake view next time). I think certain members of staff could do with some training on how to treat a lady travelling on her own however the young lady in the tweed jacket in the dining room was a breath of fresh air. It wasn't like this 6 months ago so what's happened?
The proximity of the hotel to the amenities of Bowness. Able to park car (not sure about car parking charges) The evening meal on the first evening. The leaflets on where to go for a day out.

United KingdomWe booked a lake view with shower as advertised but requested a bath. After staying at the Belsfield at least a dozen times we have never had such a small bathroom. A classic room has better bathrooms. For a large person it would actually be a problem.
Location excellent. We have stayed at the Belsfield many times. The breakfast wasn't up to expectations.

United Kingdomwould of preferred to be on first floor ,was not keen of having to go through the dining room every time we left the building, there was another way but more difficult , think they should make it more obvious it costs £15 a night for parking unless you have a Blue badge.
Good size room and bathroom, comfortable good facilities, room service everyday, we had a nice view of the Lake and the hills shops very close to hotel so no worry about parking, also plenty of eaterys.
