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.).

AustraliaThe room was very small, just room for the bed and desk. The shower was in the bath and we thought it needed a rubber mat for safety.
Friendly staff and good evening menu as well as excellent included breakfast. The decor was modern and everything was professionally cleaned. The reception was spacious and welcoming.

United KingdomVery noisy due to property being on a main road with only single glazed windows. First night did not have a very good sleep as woken by people in the next room playing very loud music at 3 am. My Husband had to go down to reception to ask the night porter to come and speak to them. Buffet breakfast, food was stone cold and kept running out. Eggs Benedict on the menu but asked for it and told no longer available!
Clean, good size bed bedroom with quality bedding.

United KingdomI felt dinner, while delicious, was a touch expensive - I'd say that £4.99 for side orders of things like chips is steep. Only other negative is common to a lot of places these days - irritating loud, modern music constantly pumped through every public area. Musical taste is a person matter of course, but having to raise your voice over some breathy youngster, shouting how tortured her soul is because the love of her life won't return her calls doesn't really add to the ambience or enjoyment of what should be a pleasant, relaxing environment. But clearly I'm in the minority these days...
I found this hotel a very nice surprise, very clean and comfy room with ensuite - my only observation with that is that the shower is an over bath type, some may find it harder to step into the bath as oppose to a shower tray. The small enclosed decking area was nice to sit in on an evening in the good weather. Breakfast was excellent - a nice breakfast room, with good service and choice - a real highlight. A lot of thought and effort with detail has gone into this place. I'll definitely stay again when in the area.

United KingdomIt wasn't far from town but it was uphill to get there which wasn't much fun dragging a case from the station. This wasn't their fault, I just wish I'd know beforehand
The room was small but actually bigger than it looked in the pictures and nicely decorated. It was very warm but when I spoke to reception they immediately brought me a large fan for the room which helped a lot. Breakfast was good - it was all really fresh and good quality - the bacon was especially nice. The restaurant was also good I had a really nice dinner.

United KingdomThis is not a complaint, but I forgot to mention to the breakfast staff, that they nicely served very nice butter portions already laid out on the tables, but some of the tables enjoyed direct morning sunlight. This melted the butter to a liquid. As I say, not a complaint, but forgot to draw it to thier attention. Breakfast had everything including great sausages. Loved it.
Friendly staff, good food, excellent outdoor spaces.

Lovely welcome on arrival. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was superb, cooked beautifully with local produce. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Great location. The only reason it didn't get a 10, there was no lift but would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe location was centrally located in Carlisle, the Irish gentleman from the bar was a pleasant and engaging individual. The staff was courteous, and the downstairs male toilet could be upgraded to a more modern state. The establishment is an older structure, however. The room was situated in the front of the building, and the road was quite noisy throughout the night and day.
