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 KingdomWhen you walk in, the entrance to the hotel was directly above the television where everyone was watching the show and the people coming in.
Last minute booking. It’s accessible to everything and easy to find. Its industrial environment does not justify the warmth of the place and people.

United KingdomThe room was spotlessly clean. Although it was fairly basic, it did the job. The room was was small, but was fine for an overnight stay. The room was right at the top of the building, so that ensured that it was quiet. A microwave is also available for those who do not want to go out to eat.

United KingdomCouldn't get the TV to work. The rooms need to be updated to be a bit modern. No hot food to buy. The bed squeaked all the time.
I lost my wallet in the bar area, it was handed in. The staff are very friendly. Excellent choice of beer. Very friendly pub goers. Rooms very clean. Brilliant place to watch sport on the TV in the bar area.

United KingdomThe room could do with being updated, the single bed was uncomfortable with only one flat pillow. The room was very dusty and because of this I sneezed all through the night , getting very little sleep. I paid £50 for one night and unfortunately there was no option for breakfast.
The staff were friendly , its was central for everything in Barrow. . The bathroom although it needed a few repairs was clean.

United KingdomOnly one thing I would say is we needed more pillows not just one each.
We had a lovely pleasant stay for 3 nights. Rooms upstairs below the pub which was a advantage as when I wanted a quiet night upstairs, I knew my partner was fine in the bar below. Also our pug came along for his first holiday. Very clean and tidy and reasonably priced. We had a comfortable stay, I also liked that everything was to hand eg tea bags, milk and toilet rolls means you don’t have to bother staff. Would definitely return when in the area again.

United KingdomMinor gripe was a hole in the wall in the bathroom, where something had previously been. More importantly, I was in Whitley Bay in July and paid £108 for similar room only. This was £150 for two nights. Was the Ambrose worth an extra £42 or £21 a night? Probably not.
It was a decent size room, it was clean and it was a double bed.

United KingdomOnly stayed one night, so everything was as expected
We had been in Keswick and then travelled to the South Lakes Zoo. Afterwards, we decided that instead of driving back to scotland we would stay another night away. Being in Barrow-in-Furness, we chose the Ambrose. Very good location to the shops and food. There was a communal fridge in the hall, which meant we could buy and keep our drinks cold, definitely a wee bonus for the warm nights into mornings! The room was clean and comfortable, very good value.
