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 KingdomBit of confusion finding the hotel as the Ravenstone manor hotel is directly across the road, and the signage for the lodge hotel was not clear coming from the keswick direction.
Great host, very welcoming, lovely location with great views of the grounds. Very relaxing and will definitely return.

AustraliaWI-FI reception in upstairs room wasn't 100%; performance depended on the time of day.
Comfortable and quiet room along with a superb breakfast was a highlight. Off street car parking and EV charging facility made this a superb choice [as I was driving an EV]. Evening meal was also quite enjoyable.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing
Excellent hotel made very welcome upon arrival by Brett who along with Pete are simply the best when it comes to making your stay the best nothing is to much trouble for either of them 👌 what a massive asset they both are to Charlie and the team at Ravenstone. The breakfast is the best and sets you up for the day ahead. We only managed dinner just the once but it was exceptional. The hotel is very clean and comfortable with only 9 rooms is lovely and quiet just what we were looking for. Looking forward to returning again soon Colin and Sandra room 2

We originally booked a room in the Lodge, but it was too small for our stay and requested to move to the Manor. Both owned by the same family. Both Brett at the Lodge and James at the Manor could not have been more helpful. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The views from the hotel are breathtakingly beautiful.

United KingdomCouldn’t find anything to dislike. The only thing I would have liked in room six, is a mini fridge which would have kept the little bottle of milk we were given for the tea and coffee cold.
We stayed in room number six, which was beautiful, it had just had a new carpet fitted on the previous day and so had the hallway and stairs. The property had stunning views from the sun terrace and conservatory. Overlooking fields with horses and sheep in. The evening meals we had on both nights where outstanding and Pete and the staff where very helpful and gave us lots of information.
