Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United KingdomThe kitchenette/living area would have been a bit cramped for 4 people. The property is on 3 floors. The stairs are narrow and might be awkward for those with mobility issues. Neither of the above were a problem for our stay.
A cosy well-appointed cottage just off Stricklandgate. It's not very big but was perfect for me and my brother-in-law who were walking the Dales Way with our Ramblers group. We had a bedroom and a bathroom each which was perfect. Plenty of hot water and an efficient heating system. M&S food hall was 2 minutes in one direction and Booths right opposite. The property provides a parking permit for the Library Road car park.

Beautiful little cottage very clean and tidy and they supply everything you need. The milk and biscuits are a a really nice gesture. Also the hosts supply a parking permit (you will need this) and the car park is literally a one minute walk away. I would definitely recommend and I would stay again

United KingdomFantastic find in Kendal. Right in the centre of Kendal so great for walking to pubs and restaurants in the evening. The house is really well equipped with everything we needed to prepare food and relax in the evenings. The rooms are really comfortable and the whole house is finished to a high standard. The host supplied a parking permit which was really useful as car parking can be tricky. Hosts were easy to contact and really helpful. Highly recommended. Thanks for the stay!

United KingdomOur friends complained about the poor comfort of their 2 single beds on the top floor but we found our double bed OK. No dishwasher in the kitchen but very small kitchen so probably not possible to fit one in. We had 2 cars so one of us had to pay the daily parking charge at the car park round the corner. A little difficult to find when first arriving.
Excellent location for accessing the town's shops, pubs and restaurants. No need to drive anywhere. Excellent power of the showers in the bathrooms. Nice welcome with milk in the fridge, teabags etc and some local biscuits and confectionery.

United KingdomAlthough space is limited personally I’d rather have a dishwasher than a washing machine. That and the low ceiling without any warning at the bottom of the stairs (yes I hit my head - hard)
Location and cleanliness were exceptional. The inclusion of a parking permit for use around the lakes was a great touch. Although Kendal is not what it used to be as a destination, you couldn’t ask for a better location to base yourself for travelling around.

SpainThere was no negatives at all.
The cottage was a wonderful place to stay,right in the heart of Kendal. Facilities were second to none.There was everything you needed for a comfortable stay.Everything was immaculate,the bedding was lovely,a very warm & cosy cottage. Sean & Donna were exceptionally helpful,we only had to ask for a slip mat for the shower and Donna brought one the next day. The car park pass was great,no problem parking wherever you went. I was concerned before we went as the advert does not show handrails on the staircase,when we arrived they had been fitted,also grab rails in the bath/shower. Would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to anyone wanting to visit the Lakes. We will definitely visit again in the future. Thankyou Both Jane & Jim Howarth (Cheshire) 😘

South AfricaDirections to the property. GPS takes you to Booth's parking lot, and provided directions were hard to follow. Figured it out in the end though. Living area a little tight, but we spent most of our time out and about.
Central location, close to amenities, roomy rooms. Although no parking outside the property, parking was provided in nearby parking lot (which is close enough). Well kitted property. Forgot the streaming box at home, but there is a smart TV with the necessary apps. Speedy internet connection. Very clean, very comfortable beds.
