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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 only thing was that the bed was very creaky and wobbly
I liked the location and the breakfast was lovely and just what we needed for our walks! The staff were lovely and very accommodating too.

United KingdomIf you choose porridge then it should be considered as an alternative to a cereal and not charged as an extra if you also have a cooked breakfast . Seems penny pinching and does not happen elsewhere Some minor Room 2 issues could be addressed - eg absence of hooks on doors for coats, mirror light not working, no shelves in bathroom or shower for toiletries, No glasses for water Worth installing an EV charging facility in the car park.
Breakfast quality good and service excellent . Evening meals good but worth changing at least part of the menu every day even only if one item changed The staff were very attentive and welcoming . Excellent people , nothing too much trouble

United KingdomBeing located very close to the kitchen extractor fan, which you could feel the vibration and one night the fan was not switched off overnight and was a continual drone. View from room was a plant pot with cigarette butts from the kitchen staff. Car park was completely dark at night, no lighting whatsover.
Ideal location for plenty of hikes and trails, food was great.

United KingdomThe room (3) was very small, especially the en-suite. It would have been uncomfortable for a longer stay.
Convenient location close to Grasmere village. All the staff were lovely from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Evening meal and breakfast were perfect. Cosy residents lounge just off the bar area was great to sit in after dinner. Plenty of parking space.

United KingdomAt the rear of the property there was some kind of machinery going from at least 5pm until at least 10pm (a generator??). It didn't disturb my sleep, though, because it was turned off some time after 10pm and so I had a sort of quiet room.
The cosy sitting area reserved for residents was very relaxing.

United KingdomThere is nothing we don’t like but it would be great if there were more room around the fire in the bar area with casual seating .
Stayed here may times as a convenient stopover on drive up to Scotland . Cosy, good value and good parking with lovely views . Good food with a fine selection of local beer. Open fires and Woodburners add to the charm and comfort. All staff were very pleasant and helpful.
