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 KingdomThere was a plumbing problem with our toilet which was very noisy during the night. This was rectified the next day.
Tebay ia a lovely little village and the pub was excellent. The chalets are very comfortable with a view of the hills. We enjoyed our food, peri peri chicken, steak, haddock and roast dinner. The bar was friendly and we enjoyed watching the football in there. There is a space to park right by the chalet so it's very easy to unload. My husband also loved "Dave's Shed"!

United KingdomThe bathroom was very small and not as appeared from the pictures
Ideal location with good access from the M6. We stayed as part of a walking holiday overnight. The pub itself was much like a local and the food was good pub food. The downside was the room which didn't quite live up to expectation! It was clean however the bathroom was more of a large cupboard....the Web designer and photographer did an exceptional job! Would we stay again....probably if necessarily but would look for an alternative first.

Quite limited choice on menu and continental but after 2 days realised people were requesting egg cooking not on menu but wasnt advertised.

United KingdomWe managed to get ourselves locked out without the key pad access code! Make sure you have it if you intend to stay out late.....
The Cross Keys are well situated near the Westmorland TBay service station on the M6 for folk travelling north or south for an overnight stay. The accommodation was comfortable and adequate and the breakfast generous in this historic pub situated between the Lake District and North West Yorkshire.

Lovely location and very friendly staff, we arrived and were shown to our room which was a cottage style room. Was very spacious with a comfy bed and a pull out sofa bed.

United KingdomThe bathroom although spacious wasn't that easy to shower in. The man with the filler needs to patch up under window sills etc.
Wonderful views, easy to find, good parking, quiet location and very friendly bar staff. The food is good standard pub grub. We would certainly stay here again. Very new double glazing is a great upgrade.

United KingdomNothing in particular. Little things like having to ask for jam for toast at breakfast. Not really a deal breaker. Breakfast was adequate.
Perfect for a stopover between Scotland and South Wales. Just off motorway. Comfortable chalet room with plenty of space. Rob was very friendly and helpful when we arrived.

United KingdomWe stayed in room 8 and there was a sky light window with NO blind/curtain to cover it! So despite there being curtains over the main door/window the room was still full of daylight when the sun rose at 4:30am! I mentioned this to a young barmaid when we arrived, as we like a dark room when sleeping, and she said she’ll see what she could do but nothing more was said to us. And that was it. Ridiculous when you have booked to sleep somewhere and there are no coverings over the windows. There was also towels and pillows provided for 3 people only, even though our booking was for 4 people. And no hooks anywhere! Especially needed in the bathroom. We were also told that check out on the Sunday was at 11am but breakfast was between 8-9 but you had to be there by 8:30 as the kitchen closed then. Early for a Sunday esp when check out is so late. It didn’t matter to us on this occasion as we were awake at the crack of dawn anyway! But annoying if you have to get up earlier when check out is a lot later.
Lovely location and nice garden for the children to play in. Lovely food, although we had to wait a long time for it to arrive both at dinner and breakfast.

United KingdomI can't really complain for the price I paid, but if I have to, this would be it: - sofa beds were not very comfortable but that was already expected; - it would have been nicer if there were more places to hang my belongings on the bathroom.
Affordable, very easy to get to from the motorway, polite staff, nice pub on the premises.
