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 en suite shower cubicle in the very small single room was suitable for a petite person only. A grown man might struggle especially if muscular. Or the larger lady. The mattress on the single bed was hard. It wouldn't put me off going to stay again to this lovely hotel but I would book a double room.
Friendly helpful staff. Well organised. Clean hotel. Nice white sheets and white towels. Great choice of cooked and continental breakfast. . Evening meal available. Lovely view from room. I was offered an upgrade to a larger room for $30 on arrival after booking a Single. As I was only staying one night and would be out of the hotel for most of the time I declined the offer but it was nice to be offered.

We loved Glaramara. The staff were professional, proactive, self-starters and charming with it. Rooms were cosy, modern and well appointed for plugs/USBS and lighting etc. Food was great and most of all the fresh vegetables in good quantities a rare treat. The owner is clearly very hands on keeping check and running the hotel with energy and passion

Location - It is about 10minutes away from Keswick and 50minutes drive from Windermere by car. I would highly recommend the location, it's stunning and nice to have a break away from the tourists and the busy towns. Food - Highly recommend the breakfast, it is a buffet fry up and pastries but they provide plenty of additional options for Veggie's and Gluten Free's. Table service was a nice touch with freshly brewed tea/coffee and toast provided on request. We also choose to have dinner here, two course set menu, thoroughly recommend based on the quality of the food and service. There are also no other eateries in walking distance, so you would need to drive somewhere if you didn't choose to eat here. Facilities - Very homely, two lounges, one with a fireplace in. Both at the front of the building and provide brilliant views. Room - Bathroom was very modern, superb rainfall shower and a heated towel rail. Comfy mattress and pillows. The basic room was big enough to accommodate us, our luggage and for our dog to sleep in. I would recommend asking to be at the front of the property so you can wake up to the views. Dog friendly - Very dog friendly, a dog bed is provided, towel and water bowl. We had the option of leaving our dog in our room if we ate in the dinning room or we could bring him with us and eat at the bar. Lots of walks nearby too.

United KingdomThe shower cubicle in my room is too narrow, if I were more ample in size I would knock off the water controls whilst washing
Excellent breakfast, friendly especially Paula, I arrived exhausted and soaked through. The drying room worked a treat. The bar was well stocked and all the rooms were comfortable for relaxation . The hotel is ideally suited for the coast to coast and great value. I would recommend this to any traveler.
