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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Fantastic hotel/guesthouse - nestled in the heart of Ambleside. Fab location, transport and stay. Great room - clean and comfy. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, too. I rang up ahead of time to request a little surprise for my partner’s 30th birthday, and they set up balloons and cake in the room, without hesitation. Hugely appreciated and made the stay very special. They really went above and beyond - we’ll be sure to stop again!

United KingdomNothing to add here - this is a wonderful B&B.
I visited this weekend with my dad and we had another great stay at Lacet House. Louise & Shaun are both so friendly, happy to help and extremely knowledgable about the area. Our twin room was tidy, spacious & modern, with a nice view and an en-suite which was perfect for our 2 night stay. The breakfast is cooked to order with high quality ingredients and was super tasty to set you up for the day. The fact that there is also a private car park for guests is also an added bonus, particularly given the very central location, this is a great perk! If you are looking for somewhere centrally located in Ambleside, with comfortable rooms & lovely hosts, look no further.

IndiaDescription of room said 'private bathroom ' . It was private but not ensuite. So legally correct. However I feel the description should be more clear & consumer friendly say 'Private not ensuite '
The room was nice. Breakfast was very good. The host was very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomUnfortunatly with the central location comes late night noise. We had the window slightly open as its been warm so could hear the people outside when the pubs shut.
The room was big, huge bed. The shower was great. Rooms were nicely decorated. Very central location in Ambleside. Breakfast was very generous.

United KingdomWe loved it here and would definitely stay again but my one gripe is that despite paying the same amount, our bed and room was alot smaller compared to the other couples rooms who we were travelling with.
Breakfast was lovely. Parkrunners would miss out due to the timings, but the hosts offered us a breakfast barm after our run, which was greatly appreciated!

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike about this property.
Lacet House was the perfect location for our Lake District stay. Close proximity to local restaurants, pubs and shops in Ambleside, as well as other nearby tourist spots, such as Bowness-on-Windermere and popular hiking routes. Louise and Shaun were excellent hosts, super friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety on offer. Our bedroom was very spacious and impeccably clean. We all hope to return to Lacet House in the future and would happily recommend it to everyone.
