Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThere is some traffic noise at the front if the windows are open, but this is Ambleside - and it's what you expect!

United KingdomSome may find the steps to the front entrance a problem if disabled in any way. However, there is another entrance at the rear which is virtually level. However I would not say I didn’t like this about the property, And the staff were more than happy to assist in any way they could.
Exceptionally clean, great location, short walk to amenities, ample cost free parking, comfortable well equipped rooms and very spacious, tea and coffee making facilities, mini fridge and daily bottled water supplied. Views from the junior suites are excellent. Breakfast was exceptional and cooked to your individual likes, ample quantities, and all brought to you by really helpful, pleasant smiling staff, who obviously enjoy their work. We would have absolutely no qualms in recommending this gem to anybody.

United KingdomThe staff were brilliant. We were running late on check-in day, but spoke to Hayley on the phone and she was really accommodating. We were also given some great advice for getting around, dinner recommendations, etc which was really helpful. Pre-ordering a slot and choices for breakfast was a nice touch - everything freshly cooked. The location was brilliant, being only 10 minutes walk into Ambleside, where there are lots of options to eat or drink. Great access to all the usual things to do in the Lake District and some good/challenging walks nearby without even having to drive the car.

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.
