Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 KingdomThe only thing was the shower wasn't great, but really a minor issue especially in a short stay. There's no parking which is made clear before arriving so we luckily found some free parking on a road nearby, but there are lots of car parks around too.
It was a great place in the middle of Ambleside. The room was really cozy with nice little touches and a very comfortable bed. Nice and bright room too. Enough storage for a couple of days definitely. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, thank you! Very picturesque location too!

ItalyA bit of noise from the room above us, but it's a really old pub with very low ceilings so it's to be expected. I wore earplugs the second night and slept really well.
Staff are so kind, friendly and welcoming. Loved having tea and coffee facilities in the room. Ensuite bathroom was fine, shower worked well. Pub was very popular and a cosy place to come back to in the evening.

United KingdomTerrible shower! Just a trickle of water.
Very central. The pub was fun and busy, and the live music on Thursdays, which the pub warned us about, was great! The food was really good, especially the sticky toffee pudding.

AustraliaVery noisy, both from the pub - although it was quiet by 11 - and just people leaving loudly and yelling in the street. Low water pressure in the shower. Also need more hooks to hang coats. You really couldn’t stay more than a night or two because there’s no storage. And a shelf in the bathroom would be nice

Isle of ManNowhere to store our bikes. Not a complaint as they were up-front that there was nowhere suitable. Did offer us to put in the bar after closing time but unfortunately we missed the rendezvous. Just a note to other visiting cyclists - don't be tempted to park bikes in the cul-de-sac at the back as it's a private lane.
Lovely old pub. Layout a bit quirky as expected but rooms very comfortable.
