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 KingdomI would have liked net curtains at the window as our room was right next to the main path to Reception so we had to close the curtains for privacy.
The hotel and our room were spotlessly clean. Staff members were absolutely great, helpful, friendly and easy to find. We took our dog and there was a lovely field just across from the hotel where he could run about. He was allowed into the bar and sat under our table for meals and was even offered a sausage at breakfast! Water bowls were provided and dog owners and non-dog owners were settled in different parts of the dining area so if you don't like dogs, you don't have to be anywhere near them. Great for each sort of guest. Roanhead beach is a short drive from the hotel and offers miles of sand dunes and walking, great for dog owners and walkers alike. The food was excellent. Breakfast was served on Saturday and a buffet on Sunday. Both were great. We had dinner there two evenings and all our choices were delicious. We usually stay with family but if we need a hotel again, we will certainly choose The Dunes Hotel.

United KingdomRooms could do with a little more flare with some wall pictures and trendier furnishings etc but otherwise the place was very clean and tidy.
Nice little location in between Ulverston and Barrow. Nice restaurant downstairs, prices not too bad. Staff attentive and pleasant. Room was comfortable, clean, warm and quiet. Would recommend for a stay close to the beach and to the Lake District.

United KingdomUnfortunately the bar staff where none existent. You had to search for them when wanting a drink. Several customers & ourselves tried to enquire at reception & again not there. When eventually getting served, I ask what time reception close as it is not 24 hrs. This happened the entire night, as soon a s a guest found them, got served, they disappeared again. Later I overheard staff while I went to the toilet slagging me off as they considered me stupid asking what time reception closed amongst other things. The lack of receptionist from 9pm to 9am made us feel insecure in a remote location. A real shame as prior to using the bar, & the rude staff I would have scored a 9 or 10
The hotel was cosy, a nice bar / resaraunt

United KingdomThe room was dated. The bed very hard with flat pillows. No hairdryer and the iron board was so small we couldn’t iron on it. The radiators not working so had to get a heater. We had to call someone for that as there is no reception at night. No glasses in the room. Broken plug that wouldn’t drain. Breeze coming through the window. Really not worth the money we spent sorry. Wasn’t asked about our stay otherwise I would have mentioned it to the staff.
The bar and restaurant was lovely

United KingdomLOCATION I PERSONALLY FEEL LETS THE HOTEL DOWN AS IT IS SOMEWHAT REMOTE. I DID HOPE TO WALK INTO DALTON FOR A PINT, TOO FAR AND NO STREET LIGHTING. THE ROOM I STAYED IN HAD A VERY POOR VIEW OF STAFF CARPARK/LANDFILL.
FOOD IN GENERAL WAS VERY GOOD. THE GROUNDS ARE LOVELY, IDEAL FOR SUMMER WEDDINGS. THE STAFF WORK VERY HARD AND SHOULD BE PRAISED.
