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 KingdomThis hotel is amazing!! We don’t have one bad thing to say about it. From the food, to the location & staff, 5* all around. Everyone was super helpful and friendly - especially Rosena. The freshly prepared food of an evening is very tasty, just what you need after a long day out & the breakfast was also top notch. Hotel is situated in a little village and close to lots of country walks.

Beautifully appointed rooms, spotlessly clean throughout. Exceptionally welcoming staff - thank you to Jason and the team for your hospitality. Breakfast was superb and the complimentary scones and hot drinks a welcome treat after a long day out on the hills. Good WiFi throughout the property and two EV charging points available in the car park. Already planning on when I can return!

United KingdomFabulous stay, food and staff very friendly. We loved the heated boot room so our boots and coats were dry for the day after. Perfect starting point for a hike, we did Eagle Crag, Sergeants Crag and Ullscarf one day and Grange Fell and Castle Crag the day after from the hotel.

United KingdomThere is an understandable no TV in the rooms policy, but maybe an Alexa or GOOGLE Dot, just to play some music on? I have tinnitus and the silence in the room was absolutely deafening, it would have been nice to play some music.
Stunning location close to Buttermere! Residents bar was very reasonably priced and the team are AMAZING, truly faultless. Welcoming, funny, sincere they were all an absolute credit to the business. Ryan, Rosina and Elise are amazing humans, and having run pubs and hotel for over 20 yrs myself, i wish that i had a team that worked as well! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

United KingdomWhat a lovely little place! I booked a single room as I was there with work. The rooms were very clean and very new looking and the breakfast room was lovely with the ability to take your dog in with you (with little carabiners to attach your dog lead). Often in many places, the dogs have to stay in a separate area or in your room. Breakfast was also great with a lot of choices of a cold counter plus hot food choices. Parking was good at the front and at the back, I'd definitely look to stay there again!

Lovely friendly staff who were all so willing to help. Incredible breakfast! Tea & coffee always available (plus scones in the afternoon). Very clean. Dog friendly.
