Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomNothing really, it felt safe and warm and everything I needed was present.
This was my first stay in a YHA and being slightly on the mature side, booked a dorm as a gamble. Well, the gamble paid off. The premises were clean, warm and welcoming whilst the kitchen facilities were fairly large and had all the basics. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomComfort of the beds
Brilliantly located, although the bed wasn't really comfortable, it suited function for the price. Staff were very welcoming, the food was good and the location was spot on and definitely worth it if your looking to hike, watersport, mtb. Would definitely be visiting again and would recommend.

United KingdomNot a fault of the hostel, but there aren’t many other dinner options nearby. The other pub in the village wasn’t serving food because of staff problems so you could either eat at the hostel (which was fine by the way!) or go to Glenridding. I did one night of each.
Ideal location for Ullswater, lovely having the views from the lounge. The staff were super helpful when I asked to upgrade my booking.

United KingdomThere isn't anything that I don't like about this place other than it can sometimes be difficult to get a bed there due to it's popularity! Wifi coverage could be better in terms of reach to the extremeties of the building, but I remember when there was no wifi at all, so I really am grasping at straws!
It's spaceous, quiet, clean and the staff are always friendly. I particularly like that bunk bends are solid and made of wood rather then metal one which can rattle and shake.

United KingdomThe only negative is that the washroom facilities really can't cater for the amount of people. There was not one time we didn't have to wait for the toilet or shower and the place wasn't even a quarter full.
Staff, without exception are amazing. Communal areas are wonderful. Relaxing and peaceful. Drying facilities excellent. Area is absolutely stunning. Cannot comment on food as there was none available on the date of our stay but the diy kitchen facilities were superb. Beds were the same as in any YHA accommodation, we simply pulled our mattresses onto the floor from the constraining metal bunks, which made sleeping more comfortable.
