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 only thing I can think of to say is very minor - there was only 1 tea bag in the room instead of 2 upon check in and they weren’t replenished by room service either - this was quickly rectified by Reception though.
The hotel and our room were extremely clean and well maintained. The hotel has lots of nice extra features such as a water bottle refilling station and complimentary sweets at the reception. We found the location good - walking distance to Grasmere, around 20 mins drive from Windermere etc. We also caught an open top bus from the bus stop on the road outside the hotel. The breakfast was really nice - good continental and cooked breakfast options plus extra things such as pancakes that you can order from the menu. The spa was really nice and clean too.

United KingdomBreakfast was extremely good but lacked healthy options.
There is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere at the Daffodil and the staff cannot do enough to help. The evening meal was exceptional. The location is very special, enjoying beautiful views and having easy access to the rest of the beautiful Lake District.

United KingdomThe Spa is really quite nice but could use a little attention. There was nobody in to greet us so we had to find our own way through. Some of the planks on the sauna benches were split and broken and the steam room would benefit from better lighting and some aromatherapy as it is quite dark and has a damp, not particularly nice aroma when you're in there. We came back out after a couple of mins as it wasn't relaxing or enjoyable. The spa pool was absolutely lovely though
The location, the rooms, food and breakfast were all absolutely lovely. Definitely great value for money and would stay again.

United KingdomBed very hard (backs are in agony) and the pillows are very flat. Bed was 2 single beds pushed together unfortunately. No mini bar/fridge in room which is unusual and also because I am diabetic I couldn't keep my insulin refrigerated my whole stay :( There was a constant motor noise outside our room throughout each night so we could not sleep properly with the constant noise so did not get a good night's sleep for our child free break (sounded like a vent).
Cleanliness Room is excellent size. Friendly staff. Facilities especially being able to use the spa when you want to. Lovely breakfast. Lovely location and views

United KingdomWhen having an afternoon/post breakfast nap, being woken up by noisy room servicing staff giggling and laughing loudly outside my room like school children, although I realise that rooms need to be turned over and this wasn't at an unreasonable time, yet the noise was too much and the laughing right outside my door went on for well over 30 minutes.
The food was great. The staff were friendly. I love the spa. This is my second visit and there will be a third.

United KingdomCannot think of anything that I didn’t like but would of liked the choice of a continental breakfast as I am not a great lover of cooked breakfast everyday
Loved this hotel. From the Manager to a guy who had got employee of the year 2023 & 2022 in the restaurant on both evenings were excellent 👏 The breakfast was really good and the food that we had in the restaurant on both nights was exceptional. Molten Brown products in the bathroom which was re-stocked each day. If I ever go to the Lake District again I’m going to this hotel. 10/10

United KingdomIt was a shame the upstairs bar closed shortly after 10pm so we had to go to the lobby bar which is small & not that comfortable. The mature male that was behind the bar was very abrupt when he eventually got round to serving us barking at us that we couldn’t have cocktails in there!? Fortunately he was relieved by a nice chap, whose customer service skills were excellent. I think the hotel need to consider keeping the upstairs bar open later so people can enjoy a drink in the comfortable sitting room near by.
Evening meal was really good, breakfast was very good too, there was plenty on offer and it was fresh & hot. Most of the staff were top notch. We used the Spa which was really good it did get very busy around 4:30 pm but we had been in a while by then so were ready to go.
