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 KingdomWe liked everything
Great location, beautiful place. Decor and building were stunning. Really good service and as we were staying with children, Ian provided the top floor 2 rooms so we could be close to one another. It felt like our own contained area, which was perfect. The breakfast was also extensive, filling and delicious. Set us up for the long walks we managed to get in.

Beautiful building and very well furnished. Tasteful and tidy and offers good comfort. The amenities are also stand out with its terrace bar upon the river. The location is idyllic between both sides of bars and restaurants but quiet enough to not impede on its solace. Both owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Wonderful place to stay.

United KingdomSmall car park but we could park over the road in the church car park. Room was very compact, no problem for an overnight but would struggle on a walking holiday if we had taken lots of luggage. Just room for the bed and built in wardrobes. It did have all facilities, tea coffee etc and it was spotless just all space was utilised.
Location and balcony overlooking the river was a lovely addition. Perfect when the weather is good and gives you the added space and relaxation area. Unfortunately it was raining by the time we checked in so couldn’t utilise it. Room was spotless and comfortable bed with added en-suite. Unfortunately prior to arrival the hotel experienced a leak in the kitchens so were unable to offer cooked breakfasts. Ian the owner in plenty of time offered various options one of which was to eat at a local cafe 5 mins walk away which he had made an arrangement with. We decided on this and enjoyed the short walk and the breakfast was lovely. The correspondence was spot on and check in and out very straight forward.

Glencree was a wonderful property, where we had a delightful 2 day stay. The property itself was really charming, equidistant from both Bowness-on-Windermere and the Windermere town centre. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with a large bed and TV. The room also had a lot of thoughtful touches and all major amenities. The property overlooks a small brook and has a patio area with a couple of chairs, which is accessible to all guests. The hotel staff were easy to communicate with and quick to respond to queries. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

United KingdomWouldn’t say I had anything bad to say, apart from there is a pair of male underwear under bedroom 4 bed 🤔 cleaner needs to clean under beds more frequent as there is a lot of dust etc. other couples might have taken that more seriously but I saw the funny side..
Was in a good location and 15 min walk to the centre. Ian is a top guy, easy going and will tell you where’s best to eat 👌🏼hotel is modern, clean and up to scratch.
