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 restaurant was busy and there was nowhere else in easy walking distance. We should have prebooked but they found a way to fit us in.
The peacefulness of the location and the views, the communal kitchen space was good and being close to the pub was great.

NetherlandsThe facilities were clean. Good to take a shower, washer and dryer and all the complete kitchen utensils. Just take some time to spread the wifi troughout the stables. It would have made It a lot more comfortable for us
Beds were comfy, seats in shared area was not very comfy. Since there was a lot.of rain in the days we stayed it would have been nice to be able to use the internet from a comfy place as the bed bunks. .

United KingdomBunkhouses good but we did find some rubbish under the bunk beds and lighting adequate . Bed very comfy and so were the cushions but we brought our own bedding .Kitchen very good but perhaps some large signs about recycling would be good as all rubbish was thrown in the one bin provided . I understand to keep cost down we should all do our bit and take our rubbish down those steps. On campsites for eg there are large obvious notices which politely it firmly or even in a joking way remind customers how important it is. It should also be made very obvious which bins have what in them. Every county has different rules as to what can be recycled so it must be really clear what your rules are.
Second visit . Location still amazing and like the fact the bunkhouses are set where they are. Bunkhouses basic but good . Beds comfy and so were the cushions but we liked the option of bringing our own bedding to keep cost down. Kitchen a good space with the long tables and benches. Adequate kitchen things provided and I liked the plug in stoves once I got used to them. Like the picnic tables immediately outside the rooms and the views are amazing! Car parking good. The pub was very good, and friendly. We had an evening meal which was excellent!! Would def recommend this place.

United KingdomWe didn't realize radiator was turned on and it was too hot - but that was our fault. Pub kicked us out too early - 9.45 (i think) on a Thursday night.
Great value & clean enough. Did the job for £50 for 4 people.

United KingdomFantastic facilities, which meet your needs. The food at the inn is excellent, and a good variety of ales, etc, for those who may have a drink. The location is wonderful, amazing scenery, with easy access to Keswick and Derwent water. If you are a bit adventurous, we highly recommend you try Rookin House Activity Centre. Excellent opportunity to do a variety of activities from dirt track go carting to archery. You name it, they do it, we had a wonderful time. A stay at the White Horse Inn is an excellent way of experiencing the Lakes without breaking the bank.

United KingdomThe steps going up to the bunkhouse as mobility for one of the family isn’t that good , although lovely food was quite pricey for a family out of four days we used the pub twice the turning into the location is tight and narrow and parking a bit of a nightmare when really busy saying all this wouldn’t stop us from staying again as staff were so accommodating
Lovely traditional pub great food and staff very helpful and friendly nothing was too much and when there was a problem with the water it was dealt with straight away
