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...).

United KingdomRoom carpet had been vacuumed but when I dropped something and looked a bit more closely, it appeared a bit dusty. Not enough to complain, as we were only there for one night and barely in the room. Reception was only open after 8am which was a problem for some, not for us though.
Central location was good. The room was nice (carpet didn't bear close inspection though). Food was excellent and the spa looked good (didn't use it though, no time). Easy and free parking. I would go there again.

United KingdomThis was an overnight stay. The staff were happy to hold my bags in a secure location while I strolled around the town and returned later to check-in. The hotel is in a great location on the riverside in Kendal. It is very close to the railway station. I had a large room which was very comfortable and had a view of the river. I had some pub grub in the hotel restaurant (Steak and Ale Pie). I had a train to catch so I didn't stay for breakfast. I was happy with my stay.

United KingdomBreakfast was a bit basic for the daily rate. We had a pram as we have a toddler, so a room on a accessable floor would have been nice. Apart from that all was great!

United KingdomRooms need a complete overall unfortunately, stayed last year and came back this year, to find room just the same, our TV remote was not working, no power shower, breakfast was not as good as last year, it was self service, not a good selection, staff were friendly, would we stay again probably not.
Beautiful setting, right on the river. Staff very polite.

United KingdomThe restaurant was closed and, as it was raining and cold, we didn't want to walk around looking for a suitable place to eat. We ate in the bar, which wasn't very comfortable. The food was average - steak was chewy and lamb hotpot was very dry.
Room was excellent. They'd thought of everything. Long mirror. Dressing table with mirror and socket. Bedside reading lights. Little table and two chairs, iron and folding ironing table in a drawer. The room and bathroom were very clean. Pool was very nice. Breakfast was very good. Location was excellent

United KingdomYou had to book a specific time for breakfast the night before. The whole place was shut and staff went away at 10 pm. People were wandering around the corridors at 3 am, 4 am.
Location was good, the room was warm, clean and well managed. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomBreakfast wasn’t brilliant. On the first day, it was theoretically cooked to order but the bacon had obviously been sitting under hot lights so long it was rock solid and inedible.

United KingdomThere could have been facecloths and more toiletries in the bathroom - this would be appreciated since it isn't a budget hotel. The corridors and staircases show some signs of wear and tear.
The location was perfect - right around the corner from Kendal College Arts and Media campus where I was attending a workshop. The hotel also looked onto the river, which gave me a nice view from my window. The room was quiet and very large, so would do for a couple or family and I liked the provision of Lake District tea and coffee sachets. Breakfast was served in an airy room overlooking the water and there was a good selection of cooked and continental choices.
