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...).

I stayed with my Dad. A wonderful host in Dawn. Allowed us to check in slightly early. Room was ready and spotless. I don't think I have ever stayed anywhere so quiet. Bliss! Not even a car engine or creaky floorboard. We were not hassled at all at any point but knew someone was there if we needed them. A fantastic location. 1 minute's walk from the Restaurant we booked and 20 minutes walk to Bowness. 5 minutes walk from the train station. Perfect. Thank you for our stay. Highly recommended.

The property feels very homely and is situated in the middle of Windermere. There’s a range of bars and restaurants within walking distance and the lake isn’t too far either. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

AustraliaNothing, it was all good.
A charming classic house beautifully maintained by Dawn who made us welcome upon arrival and even provided a car park for us in very busy Windermere. Comfortable rooms with private bathrooms. Only a 30 minute walk (one way) down to Bowness-on-Windermere (or 5 min. drive) was enough to keep out of the heavily tourist area. Our stay was more than pleasant.

United KingdomRear parking spot was a bit tricky as it was tight space for 2 cars but there is on-street parking available if preferred.
Dawn went above and beyond to make our stay lovely! Every day she cleaned our room and topped up tea tray and replaced towels when needed. The room was top floor and very quiet, bed was comfy with lots of pillows and room was spotlessly clean! Great location with lots of cafes/restaurants nearby and only 20 minutes walk or 10 minutes drive to Promenade. Excellent value for money and would stay again!
