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 are 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 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 KingdomNothing really - parking was limited but that's not the fault of the property and you get a parking permit which is extremely helpful.
Extremely clean and well presented throughout. Kitchen well equipped with all you could possibly need. I'd argue the photos on booking.com don't do it justice as it was more spacious than I was expecting. Excellent location for Ambleside shops and restaurants as well as popular walking routes.

United KingdomParking isn’t great in Ambleside in general but you are provided with a permit which can be used in various car parks not only in Ambleside but can also be used in nearby places.
Lovely cosy cottage, clean and decorated to a very high standard. Perfect location in a quiet street but very central to shops, restaurants etc.

United Kingdomonly thing I would ask is that there could of been a lower pillow available rather than 2 very plump pillows, they were both too high to what I am used too.
beautiful little cottage,had everything we needed,great location and facilities. I was a little apprehensive as I am allergic to dogs and only realised they allowed dogs by prior arrangement after we booked,all credit to the cleaner,wonderful job and I was perfectly fine 🙂

AustraliaNo washing machine and although a free parking permit was included and the long stay car park only five minutes walk away, a park was not guaranteed and the car park was often full.
The furniture and appliances were lovely. Roomy and the bedroom had plenty of storage space. Thick, large bath towels. Great position for walking to all local attractions but also very quiet.

We visit Ambleside regularly and our stay at Grayling Cottage was fabulous. A wonderful quiet location yet so close to the town centre. The cottage was spotless and well equipped and the decor was of a very high standard . We are looking forward to our next stay at Grayling Cottage!

United KingdomParking is limited in Ambleside anyways, however parking was a slight negative especially when trying to unload and load the car up. Unable to park outside property but a parking permit is provided and the long stay car park was approx 500m away, Once the car was parked up we didn't need it again for the 3 days were staying.
It was cleaning, comfortable and very nicely decorated. The property was perfectly located.

United KingdomWas a bit tricky to find initially, as one way system and say nav system were a bit confusing. Once we had located it and worked out the parking situation, was all good for rest of stay. Recommend bringing cases with wheels as the car park is about 500metres from cottage.
Lovely cottage. Had everything we needed. Great location, lots of walks and sights nearby to visit.
