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 KingdomFab location, the fact they accommodate so much for dogs it was so welcoming, we didn't take ours this time but we will be going back with her. Parking can be tricky but there was plenty when we went. Right next to amazing walks and 15mins away from Keswick.

United KingdomI have some food intolerances, so eating every evening at the restaurant was difficult because I couldn't find enough variety of food that didn't have garlic in.
A wonderful place to stay, and a completely dog friendly hotel, Rupert was allowed everywhere, yet all the rooms were of a high standard, The staff were very warm and friendly too

United KingdomMy husband didn’t like the ketchup is sachets lol.
There is a lot to like about this hotel. The location is very well situated for walks. The staff are very helpful and engaging. The food has been excellent. The hotel is a dog friendly hotel and the dogs are very much part of the enjoyment, there are dog treats around the hotel, sausages for the dogs at breakfast - it’s the first time we have brought our dog away with us and would definitely do so again.

Fantastic stay. Beautiful building and clean and bright rooms with some smashing views. Lots of walks and hiking opportunities nearby. A peaceful location and everything felt very accessible by car. Fantastic breakfast and dinner. Staff went above and beyond when our dog became anxious in the new environment. Electric car charger nearby which was handy.

United KingdomVery little !
As a returning guest I new all about the hotel, and what to expect when I got there. I can only say that it was as I remember it with the the same laid back appeal, courteous staff and good food. The advertising for the Hotel seems to be working well as I spoke to visitors from at least three of the four points of the compass, including overseas.

United KingdomNothing I didn’t like about the property, there was maintenance work going on to repair the roof while we were there. The working hours were controlled to minimise disturbance for the guests.
An amazing Manor House which is maintained to a very high quality. Located between Skiddaw and Bassenthwaite lake in the beautiful Lake District.

United KingdomThe only thing I would say is the bed could be longer, our feet hung over the bottom of the bed but it was still comfortable. That is the only thing that I would have changed.
Absolutely stunning place, the hotel was warm and welcoming, very clean. The staff were very friendly. The view and the garden are exceptional. Value for money I will definitely come here again I've had the best time. The food is fantastic and a good price in the restaurant, the breakfast was quality. Very very good place.

United KingdomThere was not a lot of space in the bathroom between toilet and sink. Parking spaces are limited and difficult if you arrived back late. But the sister hotel over the road allowed us to park despite their car park only being small. Minor issues really we stayed 3 nights and only struggled to park once.
Lovely smaller hotel with character, although on a main road, very peaceful. The staff were lovely and friendly, very helpful. Very dog friendly hotel, towels in the entrance if your pooch is a bit soggy when you get back, they are allowed in all areas of the hotel. The food was delicious, breakfast and evening meals. Award winning pie, well worth the award, quite a lot of areas to eat, not limited to the dining room and never felt over crowded or rushed. Best hotel I've stayed at in the lakes despite the bathroom and parking but will definitely go back, fabulous!!
