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 KingdomThe wifi was very poor
The Location was great with the lake over the road from the hotel. Staff were outstanding. Breakfast was good tho some yoghurt and honey wouldnt have gone amiss. The room was beautiful and a bath in the gorgeous bathroom was a bonus.

This place is a gem, great location, staff and food. We had a wonderful time. Breakfast was included; order what ever you like from the menu chef is on the ball, eggs cooked to perfection, steaks the same. All the food was 5 star. Staff are so nice just the right amount of attentiveness you need. Best place i have stayed in a long time in the lakes!

United KingdomRoom was quite dark, even with lights on. View from our room no. 60 wasn’t pretty! Back of buildings and a couple of ladders but to be honest it didn’t bother us as out most of the day. Driveway and stairs steep, which we struggled with. No lift. Glad it wasn’t raining as have to cross busy road to other building for breakfast and to check in. Parking very limited and if have to stay in public carpark nearby it is quite expensive.
Stayed in Lakehouse. Room well furnished and modern. Very clean. Tea/coffee/biscuits/cups/glasses/iron and ironing board/soap/shower gel dispensers/plenty of towels all provided.

United KingdomI really don't have a negative comment. Everything was delightful and relaxing.
It was the service from the staff that stood out. They could not have been more welcoming, pleasant and helpful. You certainly feel you are getting a very personal service. Special shout out to Connor who helped sort out parking for me because it was very busy. My room was immaculate. Beautifully presented and kitted out with everything I could possibly need and very quiet. Loved staying here. Highly recommended.

United KingdomHotel is at the top of a hill and the pub where you have to check in and go for breakfast is at the bottom of the hill beyond a road. You have to walk down to the pub and go to the bar to check in which was a bit odd and the steps from the hotel lead directly into the main road so feels a bit dangerous.
Has everything you need. Bed was comfy and the room was really quiet so made for a good nights sleep! The breakfast selection was great too and is included in the price
