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 KingdomAlison and Wayne were very welcoming and attentive. The rooms were clean and comfortable with clean towels given each day. Breakfast was sumptuous and set you up for the day. 5 min walk from the town, even for someone with walking issues. Will be going back. If you are considering going to Cragside B&B don't hesitate to book quickly, you may miss out. Soo and Dawn x

United KingdomShower not great - we had the heads up about the delay for warm water which was fine however there was very little flow - likely due to the height of the room we had (top floor) and pressure/flow unable to reach via the hot water system. This is possibly only me but i dont think a room needs attending to after night 1 of a 2 night stay - it can feel intrusive and unnecessary (it may just be me i realise) - that is unless there are any issues which i would flag.
Location is good, just a short walk from the centre - literally a few minutes tops. Plenty of parking (free on street) also. Breakfast was excellent - cooked to perfection considering our requests (well done and minus mushrooms). Wayne and Alyson are very attentive. Room was spacious and extremely clean. We received our special request upon arrival which was very much appreciated - Thank You.

welcoming and spotlessly clean Alison & Wayne are the perfect hosts and would walk away with a Four in The Bed trophy no problem. Breakfast was stunning and a constant flow of tea,coffee and toast was on offer. The bed was so comfy. The house is well located and within easy walking distance into Keswick town centre. parking is fairly easy. we would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe shower was a bit tricky to use; you had to turn a switch on for hot water. However, the water then was either boiling hot or cool and we couldn't get it to be somewhere in between. Other than that all excellent!
Lovely B&B very close to the town of Keswick. Beautiful, quiet, cosy room. Great English breakfast in the morning, in a beautifully decorated room. All very tasty and excellently cooked. The hosts were nice and accommodating, happy to give us directions and recommendations for places.

Stayed for 2 nights with a friend. Very hospitable, friendly hosts, couldn’t do enough for us. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable large room on the top floor. Super king size bed and single bed in the room. It is situated 5 minutes walk to the centre of Keswick. Yummy full English breakfast and choice of cereals, fruit juice and large tea and coffee pots. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

United StatesThe only negative was the lack of hot water through the faucet in the bathroom sink. The hot water switch turned on hot water for the shower but not the sink. That was a very minor negative for a great guesthouse.
The location was amazing-walkable to the River Greta, the downtown, and the Lake. The bed was very comfortable with decent pillows, which are hard to find.
