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.).

The room was lovely. Very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of wardrobe/drawer space and lots of sockets. The hosts were very friendly and couldn't do enough. They were a great help for places to go and recommendations for where to eat. They have a great choice for breakfast, and we tried most of them. Each one delicious. We especially enjoyed their smoked salmon (which they source from Scotland) and scrambled eggs - the best we've tasted.

My grandmother, mother and I stayed at Oakfold for three days. We could not fault the property. Every little detail was beautifully thought out. Great location. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice, using local produce and delicious homemade bread. Our room was quaint, extremely clean, well stocked with local teas and coffees and beautifully decorated. It felt like a home from home. All handwash and shampoo were also from a local brand whose shop we visited in Ambleside. There were so many beautiful little touches such as homemade fudge next to the entrance. I would highly reccomend Oakfold house. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay.

MaltaOakfold House exceeded all our expectations and made our Lake District vacation unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the warm and friendly staff made us feel right at home. The rooms were impeccably clean, beautifully decorated! Every detail, from the cozy bedding to the luxurious bathroom amenities, was thoughtfully curated to ensure maximum comfort. The breakfast was a culinary delight, with a wide range of options to cater to all tastes and dietary needs. The hotel's location was perfect – a peaceful retreat yet conveniently close to the best attractions and hiking trails in the area. What truly sets Oakfold House apart is the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and provided excellent recommendations for local dining and activities. We felt truly pampered and valued as guests. In conclusion, Oakfold House is undoubtedly the best hotel in the Lake District. We can't wait to return and experience their outstanding hospitality once again. Highly recommended!

Me & my son had a family room on the top floor. There was a single & double bed & plenty of room. In room fridge is good as well as the tea/coffee facilities. Love the bathroom products from a Lake District firm. Breakfast was excellent, 1 morning we both had Scrambled egg, salmon & toast. (as well as buffet items). On the second morning I had cumbrian breakfast that was well cooked & not at all greasy. My son enjoyed the kippers & poached egg. Location is brilliant for walking into Bowness.
