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 health club is 4-5 minutes away by car or 30 minutes walk. We didn't expect it, or didn't read carefully. That's why I put 9 , instead of 10.
Everything is very good. Been enjoyed staying here. The room was very big. Breakfast is nice.

An excellent location in the heart of Windermere. So much to do on your doorstep including hikes, bars and restaurants. The property itself was tastefully decorated and clean. The bed was so comfortable - perfect for a good nights sleep after a long walk! The staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was lovely too - we really couldn’t fault anything at all. Would recommend and stay again :)

The property was clean, well maintained and friendly. The room was spacious and cosy aswell as common areas being open and spacious. The staff were so friendly and helpful aswell as the owner who went above and beyond to help. Before my trip even started, I was getting messages of attractions, local food spots and everything I could possibly need to know about the stay. I could not have asked for more from a property.

From the moment we booked Holly lodge, the experience was great. The hosts Bonnie and Ian were friendly, helpful with great communication. Holy lodge itself exceeded all expectations. Kirsty our host met us on arrival and was very friendly and welcoming and our 3 year old was delighted. The family room was perfect, decorated nicely and plenty of space for our family. Breakfast was delicious, and our daughter was delighted to have her own Mickey mouse napkins, unicorn cup and smiley face toast. Would recommend Holly Lodge to anyone visiting the lake District, and will definitely be back.

United KingdomNothing could be better!
The room was a perfect size, tastefully decorated, and had good amenities, with a lovely view towards the hills. The bed was very comfortable, and everything was perfectly clean. Having access to the local gym & spa was fantastic, and was much needed after a long day of walking nearby. Breakfast was also lovely - I had the full English and was very pleased, as well as having lots of choice of cereals, juices, teas & coffees. I couldn't ask for more.

United KingdomThere was nothing to complain about, welcoming, clean and gorgeous rooms.
Stayed here with my brother as we'd never been to the lakes before. We were welcomed by kirsty who was super friendly and informative. The room was lovely and clean. The breakfast both mornings were amazing too. The property is also very close to everything we wanted to see, we walked everywhere from the hotel. No issues with parking either.

SpainEverything was perfect, nothing to complaint.
Everything was perfect! The location was great for us, close to train station and just 20-30 min walk from Bowness (closer if you take the bus) and close to trails we wanted to do and to buses that take you to Grasmere/Ambleside etc. We spend 4 days hiking around and it was perfectly located. Breakfast was really complete and delicious with different options to choose. Room was spacious, clean and luminous with everything you could need. The staff was fantastic, the owners sent us detailed information on restaurants and trails around before the stay that was really useful and appreciated. I travelled with my sister and just to say that we will choose the same place to stay if we come back to the lakes.

SingaporeThe breakfast time was inflexible - 8:30-9:30 am. We usually get up at 7 and have breakfast and like to get out earlier for walks - particularly if it’s good weather, so we found the fixed 1 hr breakfast window prohibitive. We were also in a room with a low beam above our head, at night we banged our head several times.
Clean. Nice breakfast. Access to the offsite spa facilities was very good for a rainy afternoon - very nice swimming pool and jacuzzi.

United KingdomThe shower unit needs replacing as main unit leaked and must be over 10 years old and sprayed my clothes on the floor from over the top of the shower screen. The shower temp was like warm at best. There is Parking on site but either get there early for the easy spaces or be prepared for 10 point turns. Luckily the neighbouring property has stopped parking her car (it was dented) which made it just possible to manoeuvre.
Great stay. Lovely stay. Spacious, warm and comfortable bedroom. Parking on site. Location. Breakfast and breakfast staff were lovely and friendly.
