Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomNot really much to complain about. A bit tricky locating switches for some things..storage radiator could do with being replaced as it's outdated and says hot for far too long

United KingdomLots of rules and no hot water or heating until we had read all the info! They knew we were arriving so why not put on the hot water and heating? According to Booking.com we could arrive after 3 and checkout at 10. However, we were not allowed to check in before 5pm!
The location and therefore the views were amazing. The Kitchen is obviously new and well stocked.

United KingdomFor a booking accomodation, on this price range I would have expected more details to make you feel welcome, e.g. having soap on bathrooms, salt in the kitchen, a sponge for doing the dishes, etc. The living room furniture could be more updated, and one of the toilets had problem with flushing
Beautiful view of the lake with access to swimming, and just next door you can rent a kayak 20m walk from Ambleside is good, and plenty of buses passing by behind the place Beds were very comfy

United KingdomWhat let this location down was the fact that all the local eateries closed fairly early in the day, usually between 4.30 and 5.00pm, the two large hotels were available for a meal but value for money, that's another story. We used the YHA building, just next door and found their prices to be reasonable and staff very pleasant.
As a couple we particularly liked the location, handy for the steamers and buses etc. The apartment is well catered for regarding kitchen equipment, entertainment and tv with numerous links to movie and tv program streaming. The location was very peaceful in the evenings and through the night. We could be critical of one or two things but that could be said of virtually anywhere. We would have no real reason not to wish for a return visit.
