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 KingdomThe breakfast was great, but the Sunday roast at the Henrock restaurant was a bit of an disappointment. The roast wasn't as tender as expected and also the flavours of the high quality food weren't as exquisite as you would expect for a restaurant with Michelin star chef in its name. The warm food was also not as hot as expected. If the breakfast or the bar is crowded, you can wait a very long time for your food. Try to use less busy times for that. The staff is running and doing a great job, but the kitchen seems to be understaffed for these occasions. We were quite lucky with our neighbours, but you can tell that noise travels easy in that old building.
Wonderful luxurious hotel with an extraordinary garden and spectacular views onto Lake Windermere. Great staff, very friendly and always helpful. Your holiday begins at the first minute after arrival, a very relaxing atmosphere, the garden is an attraction on its own with beautiful spots for sitting to enjoy the view or relax at a little tarn. A lot of wonderful birdsong and animals to be watched. The bar and conversatory is phantastic, stylish and bright with great drinks. Our luxurious room was quite spacy with very comfy beds and a big window to the garden. Other rooms do have small windows only. The bath room was very clean, but not spotless. EV charging is run by the hotel and very convenient and easy, moderated by competent staff. The best we have ever seen at a hotel. Great location: A golf course or outdoor dining is just minutes away.

United KingdomThe big weakness of the hotel is the food and beverage. The main restaurant is outsourced to an independent restaurant but the food in the bar and the wine list are terrible. Bad pub food at expensive hotel rates and the wine list is incredibly weak predominantly expensive S African wines, no French or Italian Reds at all. The breakfast took 90 mins to deliver. This was toast, yogurt and fry up. The coffee took 30 mins to arrive. The staff are not trained and there was clearly an issue on the Sunday am as the staff were rushing to get people out of the restaurant to hand over the restaurant to the Hemrock, the external supplier. I would stop again but I would not book the classic room, too small, and I would plan to eat out.
The location is fantastic with great views to the Lakeland hills and lake Windermere. The hotel has been refurbished to a very high standard and the public areas are great with fantastic views. The accommodation, at least our room was small and the bed was also small but the fit out was good and the whole property is very clean.

United KingdomThis was my 4th trip to Linthwaite House. Every single time has been as amazing as the last. The hotel is more than worth the price. Absolutely everything about this hotel is perfect. The staff, the bar, the food, the grounds, the tarn and the resident ducks, the location. Literally everything! I stayed in the suite with hot tub and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The room is exceptional and breathtaking even after 4 stays there. I felt like I was coming home. All of the staff remembered me and asked about my daughter (who has been with me on all previous trips). The room was as perfect as always. The other hotel guests were all friendly and just there for their own relaxation. Staff cannot do enough for you. It may sound daft but it feels, even after just 4 trips, like you're going home and the staff are kind of an extended family.
