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.).

United KingdomThe bathroom was very cold, it did only have a small radiator and unfortunately this was not enough to heat the bathroom, we did receive a discount and the manager was very understanding and approachable but if we did stay again we would ask not to be booked into this room which was a shame as was a lovely room but with a very cold bathroom :-(
Very Friendly staff, clean room, lovely breakfast

United KingdomI had bacon & egg sandwich for breakfast which was just okay. Bacon under cooked, egg over cooked on sourdough bread - soft bread roll would have been better. Only filter coffee available at breakfast despite coffee machine in the room. Despite this there was a good choice of cereal and juices
Great location

We loved the breakfast & dinner fresh local produce and the staff especially Aimee , and the bar tender when we first arrived , the Chinese lady & the polish lady with blonde hair sorry I didn’t get names . They all made us feel so welcome 🤗 our first time in an Inn stay break we will be back !! So cozy .

LaosThe restaurant gets busy with non-guests so it's necessary to book, which isn't always easy for last minute stays and there was some miscommunication between different staff on from one day to the next. Other than that - it's a lovely place to stay.
Lovely old pub in the centre of Hawkshead village, perfect base for numerous walks around a beautiful area. Rooms are well designed with quality amenities, and comfortable beds. The restaurant offers good food and a decent range of beers in the character pub. Breakfast is excellent.

United KingdomI really had to push hard to have anything bad to say. But, the bed was two singles pushed together. It's not even close to a deal breaker, and I appreciate that the hotel probably wants the flexibility of offering it as a twin room... I think the room deserves a proper king bed.
The staff were friendly, and helpful. In fact, they went above and beyond when we came down late for breakfast and fixed us up a wonderful breakfast anyway. The room was lovely. It was spotless, and the modern clean bathroom was great. You would think that the large window might make you feel a little conscious but I felt like we had all the privacy we needed, and it was lovely to turn down the lights and just enjoy the view. My only regret is that we didn't stay another night. The location was fantastic being so close to Scafell Pike and Helvellyn. I will definitely be staying here again. The village was beautiful and had so much more to offer than I expected.
