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.).

Wonderful apartment in a quiet area just a 5min walk from the town centre. As well as stunning views the apartment was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and had everything you could need. Ethna was in touch with us before our stay and met us on arrival. She had left tea, coffee, milk etc as well as some homemade jam. She kept in touch during our stay to see if all was ok and if we required anything and recommended several local restaurants for an evening meal for our wedding anniversary and left us a card and some chocolates. Ethna was the perfect host. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit Ambleside.

United StatesI had a wonderful stay at Barnes Fell. I was greeted by Ethna, who run's everything there. She is a super sweet woman who was very accommodating! The location in Ambleside was perfect, and the apartment was clean and comfortable.

United KingdomThere’s nothing we didn’t like about our stay at Barnes Fells. Only thing to note, for mobility reasons, it’s perched up on a hill, with a steep (but short) walk, with the car parking being a little further round from the property also. The plus side of this, is the views from the window are stunning. A lovely way to enjoy your morning cuppa.
The property was that of a very high standard, with tasteful decor. All kitchen appliances/crockery & cleaning products were provided, as was the lovely added touch of some; tea and coffee supplies, fresh milk, butter & homemade jam.

The kitchen, whilst compact had everything we needed. The apartment was nicely decorated and spotless.... Loughrigg had a beautiful big bath in which to relax with a glass of wine whilst enjoying the views out over the fells ! We slept so well in the very comfortable bed. A great location literally 5 minutes from the heart of Ambleside....plenty of opportunity for walks and beautiful views. Would return in a heartbeat 💓

United KingdomThe steps home are not a challenge by local walking standards, but are an extra climb to be aware of after a evening beer.
Location of the house is close to the bus station, and the center of Ambleside, makes for a very simple walk in, but far enough away that parking isn't a problem. Ethna, the host, is friendly and knowledgeable, she had excellent recommendations, both for shops and walks ! My single room had a double bed, and loads of room, and an excellent shower.

United KingdomCan't say anything negative about this beautiful apartment.
What a beautiful apartment. It was so very clean and fresh. There was everything we needed for our short stay. Lounge with fabulous views, a well equiped small kitchen, beautifully comfortable bedroom and a spacious bathroom with shower. Ethna, our host is a lovely lady who was very welcoming and on hand to help if needed. Great location with beautiful views. Up a short hill but still a 6 to 7 minute comfortable walk to the shops and restaurants, even for my husband who isn't a great walker.

United KingdomLiked everything.
Really enjoyed our visit to Ambleside and our stay at Barnes Fell. Ethna was the perfect host and made us feel welcome right away. Parking was easy and the town is in easy reach. The apartment had everything that you needed and was very nicely furnished. The views from the lounge, particularly early morning is mesmerising and was so relaxing to sit and watch the mist roll down the valley whilst enjoying a morning coffee. A fabulous stay with a fabulous host. Thank you x
