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...).

Breakfast with a lake side view from the dining room was very lovely. Family run business. Attentive, accommodating and friendly staff.

United KingdomDon't like to be nit picky but feedback is as follows Towels provided were fraying and worn which looked shabby. It would have been nice to have a Welcome folder with some local information and tourist info.
A beautiful and tranquil location, a hidden gem Lovely accommodation and very cosy, spacious, comfortable and well furnished. Views from windows were amazing. Accommodation is well placed for trips and days out. It was a nice surprise to get upgraded on arrival.

United KingdomPerhaps more condiments for breakfast (great times though) was very last minute for a Saturday. Finding the main reception was tricky from outside when getting dark. WiFi limited from the room due to phone signals being weak. Nice to have that peace and quiet however may be needed for some people organising their days.
Setting and the quaint peaceful grounds. Nice and homely & the manager was really helpful and welcoming. Check in and out easy and nice selected times for breakfast. Clean towels and bedding.

GermanyIt wasn't a big deal but helps to know that the self catering apartment has no basic ingredients like salt or oil available.
Great self catering apartment in an amazing old landhouse directly at the lake. Very quiet at night. The location is great to visit the surrounding lakes. The host was very helpful and always open for any questions.

United KingdomFront door has no sign or indication it’s where to check in. It also has a loose handle and catches so didn’t feel too welcoming when we first arrived. Other than that, it was absolutely spot on.
Clean, old and quirky, lovely staff, great breakfast.

United KingdomThe hotel itself was closed when we arrived so no restaurant or bar option. Our room was slightly different from expected, as we were in the stables at the back of the hotel instead. It was advertised as having a bath but did not have one. The garden and Mountain View was hardly visible from the small window at the back of the apartment (the main reason we booked this hotel) The apartment itself was very cold, and the shower was temperamental and didn’t maintain hot water for very long.
The location was brilliant, only 10 minutes drive from Keswick and walks directly from the hotel. The hotel owner was polite and informative about water pressure and walks etc. We would stay here again, but double check before hand about staying in the main hotel building.
