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 KingdomArguably Carlisles finest historical hotel - stayed here a few times in the past. I get a budget room only and just sleep there. I've always been happy with the hotel and staff.

United KingdomThe hotel would have been absolutely stunning in its prime, there are a few wee bits of peeling paintwork that will need renovating soon.
Great location, couldn't be better! Comfy beds, large spacious room with well stocked tea tray and toiletries in the bathroom too. Nicely cooked breakfast. Friendly staff. We had a great stay.

United KingdomShower only Luke warm, not hot which was disappointing otherwise would have given 10/10 for our stay
Nice central location and only a 5 min walk from our intended venue we were visiting. Friendly and helpful staff. First room had a terrible draught coming through the sash windows. Reception staff changed us to a different room as soon as we mentioned it thank you. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice.

United KingdomThe corridors were very warm as the heating seemed to be up high, but it was a cold night! We ate in the bar which is beautiful, but food is a little overpriced for what you get. Tasted great though.
Fantastic hotel in a great location. We had to travel with our dogs but we're made to feel really welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Staff were fantastic and really made our stay. All in all, would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone in the area and we'll definitely be back soon.

United KingdomA few members of staff were rude to other party’s of the group. Cat calling the girls of the group. How thin the walls were- Two rooms opposite us were extremely noisy and banging the doors and being disrespectful (we had more than 1 room booked and one of our rooms was downstairs from our room and they also heard the banging and noisy occupants - the staff handled the situation when reception had to be phoned. Baring in mind this carried on until roughly 4:30am. Booking.com doesn’t state that the car park at the rear of property is a first come first served basis. So when we arrived we got to the hotel car park and the staff member at the gate just told us its full and to go elsewhere wasn’t very accommodating.
Rooms were comfortable and accommodating. Shower was amazing, bar was reasonably priced, most of the staff were lovely.
