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.).

Saudi ArabiaWe had little problem at the beginning since they gave us a room that is not as per message a lodge and we end up paying more to get a nice room. They gave discount to be fare. I wished we could stop the hot top since it was a little noisy at night. The staff some are friendly and others just doing their job.

United KingdomThe hotel is on busy main road and can be a little noisy at times during the day, although night time was quiet so no problem sleeping.
Spa facilities and fabulous breakfast were stand out pluses for this hotel, together with the staff who were incredibly friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and a spa bath in the room was a real treat at the end of a day's walking if you didn't have time to get down to the main spa facilities. Bed was very firm which meant no back trouble for me during the stay.

Arrived here for an overnight stay with my partner, this was our first time visiting. The hotel is situated in a beautiful area with walking distance to local restaurants & shops. The hotel is beautiful and the staff were so friendly and helpful, breakfast is included in your stay as well as access to the leisure (outdoor jaccuzi pool, indoor pool , sauna, steam & gym). There is a bar located near the reception area perfect for a few drinks, very reasonably priced. Our room had a lovely balcony and a jacuzzi bath tub! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for our relaxing stay

United KingdomBedroom was comfortable, but a little on the small side. The bathroom was big (could have had a few more towel hooks).
The members of staff were very attentive, friendly and professional. Breakfast service was wonderful and the choice on offer was amazing - our breakfast was cooked to order and cooked to perfection. Our room, was very comfortable, with a big bathroom. The bar and longe area were cosy and welcoming. The pool and stream room were great to use after a hard day's walking. Great places to eat in Ambleside, but would recommend booking a table in advance.

United KingdomOn arrival there was a small issue with the room however this was dealt with quickly and professionally by the team. A big well done.
Great location, great food, great facilities. Nothing was a bother for any of the staff who were always friendly and helpful. The pool and steam room are very good and were available at short notice, towels are also provided Breakfast was well organised, cooked to order and with plenty of choice. We dined in the restaurant on one occasion and the meal was lovely, again service is very good. The location was spot on for us, ideal for walking, browsing or popping to the lake for a boat ride.

United KingdomWe stayed in a room outside of the main hotel block, the weather was warm which required us to sleep with the windows open, there was the constant 'drone' of either large extractor fans or air-conditioning units coming from the main block which disturbed our sleep.
Great location for town centre, breakfast was exceptional, staff very friendly, everywhere spotlessly clean, spa / gym / pool very good, rooms and bed were comfortable.
