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 KingdomI liked everything. No complaints on any fronts. And the premises were comfortable and warm. We also enjoyed having packed lunches thoughtfully prepared for us on two of the days.
The breakfasts were superb! The best I have had whilst staying away in a long time. Plenty of choice and very happy to make amends to suit dietary or personal preferences.

United KingdomNA.
My room was comfortable, had everything I needed and a good hot shower, essential after a big day in the hills! Breakfast was great, I liked the system of ordering the night before and picking what time I wanted breakfast. Mandy and Adie were great hosts, welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. I don’t always feel comfortable staying places on my own but I really did at Brantfell and would definitely stay there again.

Adie and Mandy were both so lovely and welcoming, giving us valuable local knowledge and providing a lovely welcome. The room was comfortable with everything we needed and the breakfast was delicious ( there is also the option for a packed lunch). Parking passes were a bonus! The location is also great, right in the centre of Ambleside.

There was always an amazing breakfast ready for you whenever you needed it, with the best Full English’s and local smoked salmon. This was followed by walk and restaurant recommendations, and huge comfy beds at the end of the day. We couldn’t recommend more highly.

The breakfast was delicious, the rooms were immaculate and Mandy and Adie were friendly and welcoming hosts. Even car parking was not a particular problem for us. We would not hesitate to return to Brantfell whenever we return to the Lake District.
