Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomWe put the sign up for do not disturb but our room was cleaned over after the first night anyway. Needed to be clearer on parking before turning up. Was unaware of the disc for parking so paid for 3 days in the carpark opposite.
The room was amazing. Facilities excellent. Great value for money and location was excellent.

United KingdomSome water in the room would have been nice.
Perfect, centrally located between the lake and the town. Beautifully decorated and very clean. Good sized modern bathroom with an excellent shower. Although breakfast not included, plenty of local choices for breakfast/brunch. There is also a fridge in the room.

United KingdomRoom a bit smaller than we expected but maximized well, and contained everything we could need.
Communication/Location/ spotlessly clean/ plenty of tea and coffee & towels. File with recommendations for eating drinking and activity. Bus stop right outside for traveling to the likes of Keswick and Bowness £3 per trip. Great breakfast at garden centre next door, and 5 min walking to pier or into ambleside. Managed to park outside. Lovely quiet room number 33 looking out the back. HUGE super comfy bed with crisp white bedding, luxury. Big shower too. Plenty of clever hanging ideas, shelves and drawer space , shelf under sink and extra heater if needed, we certainly didn't.

United KingdomWe had a lovely stay in the Log House, and will definitely be returning. It’s in a great location, and the owners were very accommodating to us. The room was pretty luxurious if a little cosy, and the bed was incredible, I fell asleep very quickly almost every night, and slept like a log.

United KingdomVery small issue but is hearing other guests upstairs most hours of the morning but I know this isn’t something which can be helped.
Such a beautiful room in a gorgeous location. The room was decorated to a beautiful standard, the photos of the property did the place justice. The bed was soo comfy I could have stayed there forever! Very little walking distance into the little town down the road which was ideal.

United KingdomIt only has two parking spaces which were full for the time we were there, so we had to pay for parking. The batteries had run out in the to remote so we couldn’t watch anything else but the first thing we switched on (understand this can happen from time to time but we arrived late afternoon and it would have been nice to have spares)
The location to Ambleside was good, the room was easy to access and the bed was amazing! The freestanding bath was also really fab

United KingdomWe experienced some noise from the room above. A light above the sink would be good. The wardrobe is difficult to hang clothes in across the unit, the hangers are too big. Why not have hooks so the clothes could be hung flat.
Great there was a small fridge in the room.

United KingdomThere was a strong sewage smell in the entryway. The TV was meant to be set up so we could sign into our own streaming services however someone elses were signed in so couldnt really watch what we wanted.
The room was beautiful with an amazing mountain view. The bed was huge and so comfortable so I had a brilliant nights sleep. Will definitely be returning!
