Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

The property is lovely and self contained with lots of space and all you need. The location is good for visiting the lakes. The proprietor was welcoming and happy to offer guidance if required.

ChinaVery good location since just 10min by bus from the train station. Very quiet. The inside of the cottage is the same as the photos in Booking website. The full equipment kitchen for us to cook easily like in our own home. Very thankful the host agreed us could have the early check in at 13:00. The price is valuable.

United KingdomWe found the layout not to our liking with a downstairs kitchen and everything else on the first floor but this is a personal preference. Stairs are quite steep but not a problem.
Very homely, well equipped property in a great location. Quiet but handy for both Windermere and Bowness. The bed was extremely comfortable and plenty of hot water.

United KingdomStayed here last week and was a fantastic little property, in a great position within walking distances of birth Windermere and Bowness. Landlord was very helpful and welcoming, and had set out local walks for us to do if we wished so. We loved the home baked cakes & pint of milk waiting for us on our arrival. Good supply of utensils,cleaning products and toiletries. Would definately stay again

United KingdomWe didn't book for long enough! There's so much to do and see, but also perfect for relaxing and doing not very much - I needed more of this!
This was wonderful from start to finish. When we arrived, our hosts greeted us, welcomed us in and thus began the most relaxing break we've had. The cottage is stunning, the decor is lovely, it is clean and well-presented. The kitchen has everything you could need, including extras like cake (!), milk, tea & coffee, washing up liquid, cloths etc etc, plus every utensil, plate and pan you could ever need. Upstairs, the living area was comfortable with Sky TV on offer. The bathroom was perfect and the bedroom was airy and very comfortable. There is a lovely private garden area with a table, perfect for eating outside, and a beautiful communal front garden which catches the evening sun. The location is ideal, about 15 minute walk down into Bowness, which really spoils you for choice in terms of restaurants and pubs, or about 5 minutes into Windermere, again lots of choice to eat. Regular buses pass by, although we walked everywhere. On this topic, the hosts have left some walks which can be accessed from the cottage - we tried one and found it very clear to follow and well worth the walk for the views over the lake. We have already been pestering about booking next year. Loved it!

Cosy cottage. Good location.Well equipped with everything you need for a break. Nice private seating area,providing it doesn't rain. Private parking is a bit tight if you have a big vehicle, however,plenty of paring on the road right outside if you can't get in. Close to the centre of Windermere and only a short walk to Bowness. The cottage is well kept and comfy. The area is quiet, so you can chill out if you want. If it rains, it's nice to sit in with a drink and just watch TV or read a book. If the sun is out, leave the car in the car park, go for a walk, catch a boat to Ambleside, or go for a meal. The cottage is a great base for whatever you choose to do.

United KingdomThe accomodation is compact but had everything we needed for our stay. It is ideally situated, approx 5 mins walk into windermere or approx 20 minute walk into bowness. Quiet area away from the hustle and bustle. The accomodation had a welcome pack of tea, milk and a lovely slice of homemade cake which was much appreciated after our journey and a lovely way to begin our holiday. Abigail and Andrew were lovely, wonderful hosts.
