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 KingdomNothing to complain
Went to stay over for a night as I had gone to attend a conference. The location is beautiful, although it's not adjacent to the lakes (the prices would also be accordingly then) but the lake is visible from a distance outside the hotel. I would love to have gone for a walk had it not been for the conference. The room and washroom was very clean and tidy. They had provided desk fan, hair dryer, iron, iron board, complimentary tea/coffee/milk. The internet wifi was free for the residents. The bed and pillows were very comfy. I had booked my 8 am slot for breakfast where I was greeted by very hospitable staff who took my order and served a very delicious hot breakfast. I would love to stay over with my family one day (very soon). It also has free onsite parking.

United KingdomThe shower in room 32 was disappointing if not dangerous. It would switch from normal to icy cold and then scolding hot in a few seconds!
Comfortable room, clean and good bed. Food was very good and staff friendly and attentive.

United KingdomMore dinner options for the vegetarians
We had booked 2 rooms. Family room was spacious, gorgeous views and bunk bed for the kids. Loved by all. And another cozy double bed, which had a great view as well, but was a tad bit small. But overall we were happy with our rooms. The views from the lounges were breathtaking. The breakfast had good options for vegetarians and was quite filling.

United KingdomWe stayed in a ‘cosy’ room, which was a lovely en-suite room in a smaller side building. The hotel and room itself was clean and modern, with all the facilities you would need. The lady on reception was so lovely and made the check in process easy. The hotel was located right in the middle of Windermere and Bo’ness on Windermere, a 10 minute walk from each which was perfect. The breakfast included in the price had lots of options, great value for money and was quick in being made.

United KingdomI can't think of anything,
It was the first time we had been in the Lakes for 16 years, and chose the hotel because of the location and the fact it had a swimming pool. we were all bowled over by the friendly reception when we arrived, the standard of decoration, the cleanliness of the whole place and the quality of the food. Everyone was so nice and kind and friendly. It was a lovely break and we hope to return.

Staff were friendly and helpful, Hotel was clean and tidy and provided some great views. Food in the restaurant was excellent. The ambience was relaxed and welcoming.

United KingdomBooking breakfast and the pool wasn't great, we would have preferred going down to breakfast when we were ready, not at a specific time. I understand the booking of the pool, however, it was quite cold and we only really ended up using the sauna.
Location was great, even if the hotel is at the top of a steep hill! Staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble, room was spacious and incredibly comfy with spectacular views.
