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 additional cost to use the spa
The setting is spectacular with beautiful views of Derwentwater and the fells around. It has a bus stop right outside so is handy for Keswick

Beautiful view from the property. The best part is, it is outside of the main Keswick town but has good access to it.

United KingdomFirst evening was difficult because of a constantly yapping dog left alone in the room next door for 2 hours. Apart from that we were happy with everything.
Beautiful hotel. Lovely room overlooking the lake and good facilities. Buses and the ferry stop are almost outside the door.

United KingdomThe room was very hot. We had our 4 month old baby with us and it was too warm for her. Even with a fan circulating it wasn’t cooling the room down. However we rang reception and asked for an additional fan which was accommodated for straight away and brought up to our room.
It was a lovely location and the staff were lovely and accommodating. The rooms were clean and spacious. Prime location for great views of the lake.

United KingdomOne small complaint, we had a standard twin room, which was quite small, there were so many cushions on each bed (4 or 5),that when removed and placed on the floor there was very little room to walk, they look nice but a little bit to much.
Stayed at this hotel quite a few times over the years, and this stay was the best yet, staff brilliant, and a lovely refurbishment, it's such a relaxing hotel. And there's a special area where dogs are aloud,as not everyone wants dogs around them .

United KingdomThe view from our room, for the price we paid we were overlooking the roof which was disappointing especially when I upgraded a few weeks before our stay and all we got was a bigger bed.
The view was lovely when sat near a window in the restaurant, bar or outside. The spa was lovely just not many beds/chairs out side. The cleanliness of the hotel was exceptional.

United KingdomYou are expected to book your spa time, breakfast and dinner before you arrive. That is not what I expect or what I am used to from a quality hotel. The dinner options were expensive and a minimum of 2 courses at the brasserie. The lift was very small. The dog friendly conservatory was not available due to weddings. Our lake view room was small for the price.
The location was fabulous, the whole hotel was smart and comfortable and the food was good. The ability to book decent rooms with a dog and being able to breakfast and dine with our dog was great.
