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.).

IrelandOn the second floor, no view , just a wall and roof, stayed for 2 nights , booked 3 rooms made no difference to the rooms we got , has tired bathroom facilities and no water for shower or bath , ( Room 255 ) just trickled out . Said it to receptionist but nothing done. Mattresses were also tired and need replacing , wardrobes and all fittings and flooring all tired . The whole hotel needs an up grade for the cost of the rooms . There were alot of dogs staying in the hotel , luckily we like dogs however if you don’t like them around you don’t stay here.

United KingdomNothing for me, even the old carpets gave it an authentic feel and had character. It was everything I would expect from an old manor house beautiful will definitely return if you want modern and fancy go to the falls hotel but expect to pay a lot lot more.
I loved the gardens and the beautiful location not far from anything and the beautiful lake you could sup straight from the hotel if you wanted it had so much wildlife all around you, and my dog loved it. The staff would do anything they could for you. I wasn't even in the hotel much, so the price was what I wanted to pay a hot bath and a nice bed and had a nice spa at the Falls Hotel love the lakes.

United KingdomGeneral areas weren’t hoovered, in general the hotel was very dated. The hotel was not in the best of locations the details and pictures appeared misleading. The hotel was dog friendly which is good but wet dirty dogs were allowed to sit and lay all over the sofas. There was no point wearing decent clothes. There was no nice area to sit and have a drink and socialise. The large conservatory was cold with the doors continuously open for dogs and with a pool table and darts very noisy which carried to the bedrooms.
Staff were friendly, room was adequate, the food & breakfast was excellent.

United KingdomThe only thing I could say... the hotel could do with updating. It's excellent value for money compared to other hotels in Keswick.
We were actually out on a breakdown due to the weather. Once in Keswick we were there longer than anticipated so we decided to stay over rather than travel the long journey home. The hotel was convenient to our location so we booked it, the receptionist was really friendly, the room had a lovely comfy bed and everything we needed for our 'emergency' stay. Towels and toiletries were available and a stocked tea/coffee tray. Our Room also overlooked the lake which was stunning. We skipped breakfast as we departed earlier than expected to travel home. It was only a short walk, through a public footpath to the centre of Keswick.

United KingdomOn our 2nd night, there were dogs off the lead roaming around the bar which meant I had to go back to the room much earlier than planned as my dog was very nervous when the dogs came over. All dogs should be on a leash in a hotel in my opinion.

United KingdomThe apartment needs updating. It was a good size and it's a lovely building but it was let down by the decor and some of the furniture. The shower also needs updating. Also, I arrived just after 3 as that is what my welcoming email said, but I was told the apartment's check-in is 4pm or sometimes 5pm and had to wait. I was told this was down to booking.com. I do think it needs to be made clearer.
Great location. Staff were friendly and sorted a couple of issues quickly. Bed was comfortable. Good place to stay with dogs.

Difficult to access from Keswick if you rely on public transport. Dogs in rooms. Dead flowers in window boxes.

United KingdomThe apartment we had booked was not suitable, very tired in appearance and not sufficiently clean, even my children commented that they did not want to sleep there. Thankfully the staff found alternative rooms for the 2 days of our stay. Alas the pictures on the website do not match the reality of the apartments or the reception area.
The staff went out of their way to help meet our requirements

United KingdomHotel is let down by maintenance. Shower was either hot or cold; although it was operated by a mixer tap, I couldn't adjust the water temperature to anywhere in between. Bedroom was pleasant, but decoration in communal areas was poor and paintwork looked like it had not been refreshed, or cleaned, for several years. The lift was out of order and I witnessed a guest with mobility issues trying to use her walking stick to help her climb the narrow stairs up to the second floor. Packed lunch was poor, tuna sandwich was contaminated with grated cheese and packet of crisps was included which had a best before date of only 4 days after the date it was given. Coffee at breakfast is sachets of Nescafé, it may be my personal choice, but this tastes cheap and awful.
Location is good and is an easy and pleasant 20 minute walk into Keswick town centre. The view from the superior room is fantastic, looking over the beautiful outdoor seating area towards the lake. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall good value for money.
