Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

BahrainNo lift, we had to carry our bags upstairs which was quite challenging. Food options are very limited and you cannot use Uber eat because its far from restaurants.
Nice staff, good location hence it's close to attractions and the lake, and clean rooms.

United KingdomThe carpets need changing or at least thorough cleaning as they are way too dirty. The toilet flush didn’t work and tiles in a bathroom were cracked. Also there are swimming lessons in afternoon which was very disappointing as after all day you just want to relax in a pool or jacuzzi without being splashed water on or too much noise. Hotel should put this information on the page
The location of hotel is great. Staff were nice apart from older lady at the breakfast and a young receptionist who couldn’t fake her smile any more if she tried.

United KingdomOur room overlooked the lovely gardens (great setting for wedding pictures), but noise from kitchen extractor fans meant we couldn't open our bedroom window during hot weather (old hotel so no aircon). This would only be an issue for a small number of rooms though.
Good location for south lakes, Windermere, Hawkshead, etc. Staff friendly and helpful. Room comfortable - double bed larger than expected! Food very nicely presented - choice to eat either in dining room or bar. Good breakfast. Lovely garden. An old hotel, but nice atmosphere.

United KingdomNoisy traffic from main road as our window was close to it, dusty room not cleaned properly and bed very poorly made on day 2 , uncomfortable and too soft bed, no air- con, very limited breakfast options with no continental choices of cheese or meat etc and no croissants. The worst thing was the shampoo and body wash which was so watered down l, it was impossible to get a lather. Very limited outdoor seating with any comfort or cushions- Such a shame because the grounds were lovely. Overall though we had a good weekend but simple improvements would make such a difference. Also no sun parasols for very hot weather.
Friendly, homely, good food, big room, renovated bathroom, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, especially Scott who served food. Property had character. We were in a separate building which I had no fore knowledge about until we arrived. However it was large and mainly comfortable.

United KingdomNewby Bridge Hotel is unpretentious and better for it. The bar was like a bar, the lounge was like a lounge, the restaurant served good food; our rooms were spacious and comfy; the swimming pool was a luxury. The staff when we stayed were friendly, helpful and always found time for us even though they were busy. You have to cross the road carefully to get to the river and the foot of Windermere, but once there a whole network of quiet and rewarding paths opens up, towards Windermere and up to High Dam and over to Rutland. There are buses, too, and it is an easy drive to Ulverston and Birkrigg Common.

United KingdomThe only thing that we were disappointed with is the fact that the sauna was not working.
Breakfast was very good. Lots of choices with hot buffet, fresh fruit, pastries, cereals. Good hot coffee and choice of teas. Sunday lunch was very good with a good sized portion. There is a small swimming pool which we used twice. The jacuzzi was lovely and warm. Very soothing following our long bike ride in the nearby Grizdale Forrest. We chose this hotel due to it’s location and nearness to the Forrest.

United KingdomVery hot weather when we stayed, so our room got very hot. Maybe fans could be supplied in the rooms? Also maybe hotel sign off the main road (from both directions) could be clearer / bigger?
A great hotel in a very convenient location. The staff were all so friendly, efficient & helpful, especially Sylvia on Reception. Our room overlooking the pretty grounds was very good. Beds comfortable. Buffet breakfast was excellent, with good choice & poached eggs cooked to order if requested. Evening meals in the dining room were a very pleasant experience. The small swimming pool was a real bonus.

United KingdomWe took our two cockerpoos with us, both don’t shed so no dog hair to clean up. I always cleaned their paws before going into the room. We took a spare sheet with us to cover the bed (which we forgot to bring back with us) in case they jumped up. The dogs left no signs of being there, but at £15 per night, per dog, it cost us £90 for a 3 night stay!!! Won’t be going back for that reason!
The hotel is lovely, the staff are amazingly helpful and courteous. Food is great. It’s clean and the grounds are amazing. I would highly recommend, unless you have dogs!!
