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...).

CanadaThe worst part about this accommodation and Ambleside in general was leaving :(
Everything was great about this place and it's hard to pick out a single thing. The room was very cozy, location/neighbourhood were fabulous, and the included breakfast was solid gold. Sometimes the pub was going off, but this didn't affect our sleep at all. This place is very sound proof.

United KingdomWe felt the rooms were a little on the small side, however it would not stop us from staying here again. The menu in the restaurant was a little bit limited.
Staff were brilliant. Warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Bar area was lovely and breakfast was really nice with lots of choice. Great for people with dogs. Excellent location.

United KingdomThe weather? 😂 Only joking - nothing at all.
This stay exceeded our expectations! The staff were top of our list - helpful, attentive, charming, friendly and cheerful! The room was great with a very nice bed and bathroom. Good breakfast and a free pint if we didn’t want our room serviced. Right in the middle of town by the bus stop for trips and close to nice shops, cafes and walks. Absolutely lovely stay … those staff have done you proud!

United KingdomThe only reservation was we stayed on the ground floor of the cottage. And with it being an old building you could literally hear every footstep and creek in the floor from upstairs. Probably didn’t help that the people above couldn’t sit still and sound like they were throwing things around the room and decided to do it either late at night or 5 in the morning.
Was a nice stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful and couldn’t have done more for us. Food was great too.
