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

The property, the room and dining room were all absolutely charming with little quirky design choices giving it a very modern feel. We stayed in room 3 (classed as small double) not a massive room but not many are in windermere and the bed was soooo comfy had an amazing nights sleep. Breakfast was delicious and had a number of cooked to order choices including pancakes with fruit or smoked salmon and scrambled egg. We opted for the traditional cumbrian breakfast and was not disappointed. Property is located on a quiet residential street so was extremely tranquil. Hosts were lovely and for the amazing price we paid one of the best on offer in Windermere in our opinion. We will definitely be back.

AustraliaA bit cramped moving around the bedroom.
This is a lovely B&B with parking (very useful) in a highly popular area. The breakfasts were amazing. Our room was quite comfortable, but a bit cramped. Quite close to a really good pub where we ended up having dinner both nights we were there.

United KingdomN/A everything was great.
Everything was perfect. A glass of wine on arrival, we were left to get on with settling in and the best breakfast you could hope for. Overall the room was spotless, the shower was great and the fridge for our use was a nice touch. The location is perfect t, halfway between Windermere town and Bowness by the lake. Both easily walkable in 15 minutes. An ideal spot. Would recommend and would stay here again.

United KingdomThe WIFI can be a bit choppy. However, they have two networks available to use.
We had an amazing stay at Rum Doodle! We were met with a warm welcome from the owner and were offered a welcome drink. We chose red wine 🍷 The breakfast room was lovely, they had cereal, fruit bowls, toast and yoghurt available for all guests and a choice of a cooked breakfast for an additional charge. They have a communal fridge available in the breakfast room for you to place drinks to keep cool if you wish. The room was clean, well decorated and so comfortable! Overall, I would highly recommend it and we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you!
