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 KingdomAppreciate that the property is old, so some may find a little chilly if it is cold outside as we were there during heavy snow.
Excellent host who took time and trouble to make sure we were comfortable and had all we needed, giving good information about the local area. The breakfast was very good, tasty using good ingredients and well presented. Excellent location, around a 10 min walk from Windermere railway station.

United KingdomShower wasn't hot enough for us. Need biscuits on the tray for people every day to have with tea, coffee etc. Needs a luggage holder for putting case on. Apart from that no complaints.
Owners are very friendly, informative and helpful. Alison is also an artist and her watercolour cards are beautiful. Location is very good for transport and there is a car park over the road. We didn't have breakfast as we go out early for buses and walks. But I'm sure it would have been good. Graham is very funny and helpful.

AustraliaOn street free car parking can be a bit challenging - there is a nearby paid car park but I was able to park in a nearby street when I couldn't find a space outside the guesthouse. I can't comment on breakfast as I chose not to pay for it.
Great location - only a few minutes walk to the main shopping strip (or up to the train station/Orrest Head hike) but a bit quieter than being on the main road. (Sainsburys and Coop nearby for groceries and incidentals). Free wifi was fast and reliable. Clean and cosy room with plenty of power sockets and good lighting. I was on the second floor (the second storey stairs are quite steep so beware heavy luggage) but it was lovely to be able to open the windows for fresh air. The ensuite is very compact but met all my requirements - hooks and rails for hanging towels etc in spite of the small space. Appreciated the wardrobe and places to hang wet or hiking gear. The coffee/tea and milk options were pretty comprehensive (never seen soy and oat milk alternatives in a guesthouse/BnB before!). Clear instructions from the host for getting in/out of the property.
