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 KingdomThe breakfast was lovely with lots of choices, from full English to cereals and toast, poached egg with fresh salmon, fruit juice, tea and coffee, I had the porridge with honey and cream which was delicious. Our bedroom was overlooking the mountains and lake, very scenic and peaceful with only the sheep in the field opposite for company. Our room had on-suit bath and shower facilities, and it had everything we needed provided, fresh towels, toiletries, hairdryer, kettle with tea, coffee and biscuits, fresh water and glasses. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows and extra blankets if needed, which we didn’t as the weather was lovely at the end of May! We had room no 1 on the first floor. Christine and Richard our hosts were lovely very friendly and welcoming, full of useful knowledge of the area and advice for our weekend stay which we were very grateful for as we had not been to the Lake District prior to this trip, but will definitely be going back! It was delightful, we thoroughly enjoyed every single minute and didn’t want to go home. Thank you Christine and Richard for your hospitality:)

United Kingdomdid mention to Christine during check out, the blinds of the toilet in one of our room wasn’t working ( may be it was me being very gentle with it) some decors could be updated, not much fuss though
Pre arrival communication from Richard was great. prompt replies to all messages and thank you for accommodating requests for slightly late check out. Good location- 10 minutes walk from Windermere piers and restaurants ( though bit tricky to walk back in dark as a small stretch of the road has no walking pavement), quiet location ( though many reviewers have mentioned about noise from the roads, we were lucky not to be bothered by much noise) Rooms were decent size with with nice comfortable bed, good view of lakes and mountains Good home cooked breakfast with little touch of old traditional English styles. Overall lovely stay. Thank you

What an amazing place! You must come and stay here, if you can get booked in. The owners have gone out of their way to make the whole experience memorable. Not only are the rooms immaculate, but they are very well priced and come with breakfast too. Nothing was too much and they catered for our early check in, minor dietary requirements but were always on hand to offer advice/guidance for the local area. The view from the front bedrooms is stunning and overlook the lake. It’s a small walk into town via a pathway and yes, there is a small (about 5m) that isn’t paved but you can take a short cut down Smithy road which is unlit (bring a head torch!) but this allows for some amazing views of the starry skies if you are lucky enough to get the weather. We will absolutely be returning without question and so thank you to the hosts! T & E
