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 KingdomBreakfast, it didn’t work for us. No chance to have cereal before cooked food arrived. One small glass of juice, no offer of a top-up. Fruit salad offered on the first day, but not the following days. All seems odd as others have said the breakfast was fantastic. It’s a shame it wasn’t for us.
Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, lovely staff and great location.

United KingdomNothing at all. If we have to say one thing, that is, the mattress is not a firm one, but we understand it’s difficult to meet individual needs in this respect
Everything, from the friendly staff, well furnished cosy room to the excellent breakfast. We especially like the pre-ordered breakfast which accommodates all our needs and the portion is generous. The fresh fruit salad should not be missed. There is also plenty of parking spaces which is definitely a plus in Ambleside.

United KingdomMy partner loved the room and the bed. I don't know if it's the fact I'm a bigger guy that I thought the bed in the deluxe room could have been a bit firmer, but that's probably just personal preference
Friendliness of all of the staff. Central location is ideal. Car park is a great addition, morning breakfast was lovely as well. Myself and my partner really liked the pre-order breakfast menu's as well, cutting down on waste and you can order to your specifications ! :)

United KingdomI think my partner was complaining about his side of the mattress was warn out and being uncomfortable, but nothing else xxx
I decided to write a few words about the place where I recently stayed. Diamond Lodge Ambleside Junior Suite No. 5 - what can I say about this place and the room we live in - absolutely 5* from me. Small guesthouse, walking distance from the city, walking distance to many hiking trails, room with beautiful views, it's a great pleasure to drink coffee/tea in the morning and watch the misty mountains, the rooms are large and quiet, the bed is extremely comfortable, the bathroom is very modern, spacious and beautiful, what worked the most for me (besides the views) was the homely atmosphere, we were very nicely welcomed, the staff was very friendly and always ready to help with anything, whatever you need there to help, another amazing thing for me very much breakfast was important, wow wow wow, so much choice, delicious every time So if you are planning a trip to Ambleside you should definitely consider this place to stay xxx
