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 location is close to Coniston Water and yet close enough to walk into the centre. Setting is picturesque and parking ample. The room was comfortable, clean and homely - the bed was excellent. There were plenty of choices in the way of breakfast, and I enjoyed mine on both days. Tracy and Michael are excellent hosts - welcoming and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

United KingdomWe only had a rucksack each, but if you turned up with a suitcase each the room would have struggled for space. Fine for us only staying a couple of nights but something to bear in mind if you are staying for longe, as you might want to chose one of the larger room options.
The lodge was in a good location, just a short walk along an easy path to Coniston. The room was compact but gave us everything we needed at a reasonable price. The hosts couldn't have been nicer, and the breakfast was delicious.

United KingdomCouldn't fault Bluebird Lodge. The location is just outside the centre which we wanted - a nice walk into the centre for evening meal or pop across the road to the pub. Lots of long walks available but also plenty of shorter walks to good places to eat or have a brew too. Room was spacious, clean, comfortable and well decorated. Breakfast was as large or small as you liked with plenty of options for all and a lovely view. Our hosts were very accommodating, welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

United KingdomHosts Michael & Tracey were brilliant. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Room was very comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. Would thoroughly recommend staying if visiting Coniston or surrounding areas. Views at breakfast were stunning of the old man of Coniston and regular feeding birds on their feeders. Thank you both for a great couple of days 👍
