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 car park. It is very small, not clearly marked out and can be tricky to park in especially if you are getting the last space. Parking being included in the price (or even better free) would possibly take the edge off complaints about it.
We love The George. We always stay here if we are in the North Lakes. The staff are great, the food is great and the rooms are always clean, tidy and sizeable. It is a great base for anywhere in the north lakes.

United KingdomThe pedal bin in the bathroom had not been emptied since the previous occupier but having stayed here several time this was an exceptional fault The car park can be difficult to find.
It has its own car park although it is no longer free it is safer than in the street. I like the traditional style of the building. On this visit I had a bigger room and the bathroom door did not stick. I think it had recently been refurbished and was excellent.

United KingdomIt was a little run down in places and some rooms a bit small, but fine for the area. A bit pricey for what it was.
Great staff. Comfortable and excellently located. I managed to get moved to a much nicer room. Some are much better than others.

United KingdomBreakfast wasn't very good. Had Eggs Royale on day 1, which was almost inedible, and the full Cumbrian on day two, which was almost acceptable. There were power ballads playing during breakfast too, which was a bit much! It let the experience down.
Beautiful, historic hotel in the heart of a beautiful town. 5-7min walk from train station. Reception staff very helpful. Nice room with lovely bathroom - double size shower with rainfall setting was excellent! Very quiet at night and we didn't hear a peep out of the other guests. The best I've ever slept in a hotel!

United KingdomThe shower, only because it was roasting and obviously faulty. We couldn’t get it to cool down but part from that everything else was great.
The room, parking, food, friendlessness of staff and location were great. Also we travelled with dogs and they could have not been helpful enough. The parking is a £3 charge per night but at least you have space and safe parking.
