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 KingdomBreakfast times are a wee bit late if you're wanting to get out for a big hike.
The B&B could not be cleaner - it was honestly exceptional. The bed was very comfortable and our room had lovely sunset views over the hills in the distance. The location was around the corner from restaurants and cafes, and a short walk from the lake coast. Breakfast was freshly made and tasty.

United KingdomThe car park was a bit small and slightly hassle to park but we were the last ones to arrive, so it probably would have been ok with a few less cars.
Nice friendly couple who ran the lodge, easy check in and the breakfast was cooked fresh for each guest which was very nice. Also the property is very close to the centre of Windermere which was convenient.

United KingdomLate check in and early check out made us feel we couldn’t enjoy the hotel as much as we would have liked given we only stayed a night, especially given the cost.
The hotel was immaculately clean and modern but cosy. Breakfast was fantastic. Location is great, right in the centre of Windermere and great to be able to park for free.

Everything. From the welcome by the owners to the wave off. The room was gorgeously done out and had everything in that you would need, with a bonus of an extremely comfortable bed with a cosy duvet and pillows. Breakfast was top notch too. Very near the centre of Windermere with private parking. Would highly recommend 😊

United KingdomHad an incredible stay at Wheatlands Lodge. The owners are a fantastic and kind couple and provided such a pleasant stay. Exceeded our expectations. Only wish we had stayed longer. The shower was great it was powerful and hot. Bedding was clean and of the highest luxury. Great value for money. Nice places to eat within walking distance. The Tilley Bar and Kitchen nearby do a great pie and mash

From the moment we stepped into Mike and Lynn's charming home, we were enveloped in a warmth and hospitality that surpassed all expectations. Their home is a beautifully appointed haven, tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. Our room was comfortable with a plush bed, luxurious linens, and thoughtful amenities. We felt instantly at ease and completely pampered. But the true heart of this bed and breakfast lies in its hosts, Mike and Lynn. They are the epitome of graciousness and warmth, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. Mike's breakfasts were a culinary delight, with an array of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and an attention to detail that was truly impressive. Lynn's knowledge of the area was invaluable, and her recommendations for local attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems were spot on. We felt like more than just guests; we felt like friends. Mike and Lynn took the time to get to know us, sharing stories and laughter over breakfast and offering genuine advice and recommendations throughout our stay. Their genuine care and attention to detail made our experience truly unforgettable.

United StatesIt was August and the evenings were cool, in order to keep the open windows air circulating, the curtains had to be open which brought light into the room earlier then we wanted to wake up.
Great location near the town hub with lots of restaurants. Yet off the beaten path where it was quiet and private. The breakfast was delicious❣️
