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 KingdomAlthough the quality of the breakfast is good, we did find the Cumberland sausage coils disappointing and quite tasteless. No Rice Crispies were offered among the cereals. The little public lounge is very small and we weren’t tempted to use it.
Hotel is very nicely appointed and spotlessly clean. Our room was on the top floor, so something of a toil up the stairs! It also had a skylight rather than a conventional window with a proper view, which we would have preferred. The bathroom was pleasantly spacious. Breakfast was good but it is something of a draw back to have to choose options the previous evening, although presumably this is dictated by the limited numbers of staff in a relatively small hotel. The breakfast room is comfortable and attractive, with tables well spaced. The staff we met (only two) were very friendly and pleasant, Lilian in particular helping to make our stay very enjoyable. Car park is very convenient, with good sized parking bays, much better than the norm!

Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Within easy walking distance of centre of Ambleside. Plenty of free parking directly in front of hotel. Excellent breakfast, with plenty of choice, plus a pre-order system for individual items, so you can have as much or as little as you want. Ideal for a couple spending a weekend in the Lakes

AustraliaPerfect location to the centre of Ambleside (5min) stroll and the stunning Lakes District. Wonderful, friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Bedroom and bathroom were well appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of food, with fresh coffee and teas. They catered easily to my vegan requirements. Parking provided made life easy. We just can’t fault this lovely accommodation. Special extra thank you to the staff who helped me our departure, you are so kind, and caring.

United Kingdomhonestly nothing bad to say about Diamond Lodge,
We were given an early check in for our bags so we could go off for the day walking which was really helpful. Nothing was too much for the helpful smiley staff both in the dining room and housekeeping. They chilled our wine all day and put it in our room with an ice bucket and glasses. So helpful.

United KingdomI’ve have stayed here a number of times and they are always consistent with all positive comments made above. No dislikes or complaints. Though I did find the room door a little heavy to open, I assume this was a fire door which would justify the nesesity.
Perfect location close to town with on site secure parking. Extremely clean and comfortable. Good breakfast and service. Excellent Wi-Fi and mini fridge in room. Would defiantly stay again and recommend.
