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 KingdomI understand we are all feeling the effects of the cost of living prices inc food and energy so I understand and accept YHA has had to increase the cost of the food it offers within the hostels...but the portion sizes are a little embarrassing... £11.95 for a burger and not even a handful of chips to accompany it. £11.95 for a child size portion of Lasagne which is why my plate was swamped in lettuce to make the portion look bigger than it was haha... Other guests we spoke with all said the same... the meal sizes wouldn't fill a child up...
Having stayed at this YHA previously I love it's location. As usual the staff were superb, polite, friendly, and very informative.

United KingdomThe creaking floors in the annex tended to be a source of waking us up during the night every time someone used the loo. That was the only issue, everything else was good.
Really liked the positive and helpful attitude of staff, the location was beautiful and with easy walking access to Grasmere village. The facilities are excellent, whether you want to benefit from breakfast or dinner in the restaurant or being able to cater for yourselves with very well equipped kitchens.

United KingdomHappy for people to self cater but not allowed to bring own alcohol which I think was a bit off. Other than that, can't complain.
Good facilities, like self catering kitchen, games room, TV room, plenty of books for both adults and kids. Showers and toilets were very clean. Perfect location in beautiful grounds, spotted loads of red squirrels and birds. Would definitely visit again.

United KingdomI wasnt paticularrly happy with time of check in. I find most places,allow guests to check in from 3pm. 3pm.sounds like a more reasonable time. Having been out in the hills it would of been nice to rest somewhere straight after. Being told to relax in a cafe untill check in is not ideal either. Also very expensive. "I was off the hills by 2.30pm." I wasn't to keen on the fact that my window didn't lock in room 7. Other than that it was good.🙂
All staff were really friendly and helpful. The rooms were simple and very nice and clean.

United KingdomThe self catering kitchen was on the small size enough for two people at once although an extra kitchen available down in another building but steps quite slippy if wet or icy and not a lot of lighting in the dark and needs resurfacing with tarmac at top step which is uneven also would be nice for the bird feeders to be filled with seed for our feathered friends as there is a great viewing location in the lounge area apart from that no complaints a great place to stay would definitely return
The house was set in a lovely location very warm and inviting the room was clean and spacious and met our needs just newly painted in the reception area with a suited colour scheme beds comfy as they always are staff very pleasant and helpful
