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 KingdomProperty lovely. Dinner disappointing - a most pretentious over the top slowly produced meal. Tasteless tartare, tiny over “fussed about” duck starter. Vegetables came after we had finished the food !!! Hopeless self indulgence by the chef. Staff polite and helpful and apologetic.
Beautiful position. Excellent quality hotel. Well appointed and architecture and decoration and execution excellent.

United KingdomContemporary meets country in this grade two listed building. Upon entering the hall you are greeted with a galleried landing overlooked by a Victorian stained glass roof panel. Rooms are spacious and our standard room had the benefit of balcony overlooking the terrace and lake, our bathroom had the benefit of a walk-in shower. Service is first class and food is delicious.

United KingdomIt was perfect. The restaurant a little pricey, but certainly fancy.
The architecture and the surroundings were sensational. We got a glass of champagne upon arrival and sat next to the fire amongst the ornate carved wooden reception room. It was so beautiful. It was so nice to stay in an boutique hotel which was so accommodating towards our Labrador Disco. In the bedroom they even left personalised dog biscuits with her name on!

United KingdomThere were times were due to the presumptuousness of other guests we were made to feel ignored and 'less than' other guests by staff - being made to wait for an unexplained amount of time to check out or when another guest was addressed before us even though my husband and I were waiting for longer. I also felt the check-in process was a bit confusing and unexplained. There were many guests arriving around 3PM as indicated for check-in however the entrance did not accommodate for this many people - leaving the area very crowded and then without explanation being ushered into another room to wait as our room was not yet ready. I feel this process could be improved, however the complementary drinks were an lovely unexpected welcome!
It was evident that some staff really enjoy their job - as they were very friendly, yet professional and accommodating. The room was beyond beautiful and comfortable and it was nice to have the amenities of a smart TV. The room had a lovely balcony and a very nice view of the gardens and lake. The evening meal and breakfast were beyond delicious - absolutely excellent. And although it was very cold, getting a dip in the lake was definitely memorable.

United KingdomOur room was lovely, but didn’t have a lake view. We found the road noise to be quite noisy during the night and in the morning.
The hotel is in an absolutely beautiful location on Lake Windermere. It has lovely gardens that go down to the water’s edge. You need a car to travel to local towns. Breakfast was excellent with wonderful service from the hotel staff. We didn’t eat in the main dining room but we enjoyed a couple of dinners in the lounge.
