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 room could’ve been a little bigger. It was the smallest of the three double rooms we stayed in on our three night long weekend away from home. The en-suite was small and being sat on the toilet was a little difficult - jammed between the very hot radiator and the sink.
The lady on reception was engaging and very helpful. She was excellent. The front of house staff were all friendly and delivered good customer service. The bar and lounge area were comfortable. The bar staff were friendly and helpful. The location of the George Hotel is perfect for exploring Penrith centre.

United KingdomThe constant bombardment with emails from the hotel re upgrading the room . One would have been enough but everyday sometimes twice a day Had an evening meal , ran out of steak , on a Saturday night! Ran out of Salmon at breakfast on Sunday . Great planning .room was way to hotel opened window but a fair bit of noise outside . So for the cost I think it was not really worth the money if I’m being honest
The staff were pleasant , the room was good over all it was fine

United KingdomOur shower wasn’t working unfortunately which impacted on our stay. We were offered an upgraded room on the floor above us but had declined. We had already unpacked but most importantly as my husband is disabled it would have meant him climbing another set of stairs.

United KingdomA little chilly, not the usual toasty place I've been before. Also a little sad that the bed wasn't made whilst there and the teas not topped off.
The lovely hot water, I must have been near the water tank. Brilliant location for buses and trains. Really enjoyed being able to have friends join me for a catch up.

United KingdomOur room was a little tired, but we understand the hotel is slowly refurbishing, we stayed a few month's ago in one of the refurbished rooms which was much better. The car park area at the back of the property is a bit tatty, the storage area for the hotel is in full sight of guests and looks like it needs a good clear out.
Breakfast was very good. The staff are always very pleasant and efficient.

United KingdomThe room we stayed in had been recently refurbished, it was clean and bright. The bathroom was particularly good, with a spacious walk in shower. The bedroom was small, but perfectly adequate, although the desk was a little too large for the room, meaning that the person who sleeps on the left had every chance of hitting their shins on it if getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. (I have the bruises to attest to this!) The bed was also new, the mattress was firm but comfortable.

United KingdomI was on the third floor and there are no lifts. I had some heavy bags to carry so it was a bit of a struggle up three flights of stairs. The rooms had just been refurbished and the bathroom was lovely.
It is an historic hotel which is popular with the local farming community. I enjoy being their to hear the chat and Cumbrian accents. The hotel is in the centre of Penrith and not too far from the station.
