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...).

United KingdomIt was perfect
Fantastic B&B. The whole place is spotlessly clean and very modern. We booked 3 rooms for 5 friends, all rooms were beautiful & spacious with super comfy beds. The hosts are wonderful & friendly. Breakfast is superb. The extra lounge area was a great bonus for the evenings and the scenery is gorgeous. The location is perfect for restaurants, just a few minutes walk away - The Pheasant Inn & Bassenthwaite Lake Station Cafe, both serving great food. This area is brilliant for walking & hiking whether you are experienced or not. We will definitely return.

The introduction to our room and the offer of coffee and biscuits in the garden on arrival. The lovely large bed same as we have at home with very comfortable pillows, two comfortable chairs to relax in and great storage. The roomy shower. Breakfast. Our lovely smiley and chatty hosts who were attentive but not intrusive. The area is central to where we wanted to be and there was nice walks to enjoy in the evening especially the lovely wildlife area across the main road.

United KingdomPete and Katie were very welcoming and their attention to detail ensured a great stay. Pete gave us directions to walk up Sale Fell and provided us with a map. Pete and Katie were very helpful after we had the misfortune of locking our keys and phones in our car while away from the property. Thanks to You both for a lovely stay.

Australia10:00 am sharp check out and 4:00pm check in. Earlier check in with more baggage storage flexibility would make it perfect and later check out with baggage storage flexibility would be ideal. Maybe light snack options for lunch and dinner. Local Inn for dinner most convenient but can get expensive over a several day stay.
Pete and Katie lovely hosts. Extremely clean and comfortable. Quiet location, easy to access and find. Off street parking.

United KingdomI cannot think of a single thing that would improve Link House, The front garden to the footpath was a little untidy even allowing for the scorching summer. Drive up to the small parking area is rather narrow but I parked on the road and this seemed quite safe.
The warm welcome, having my quite heavy luggage carried to my room. The room was not large but had everything L needed and the bath - room was spotless and good supply of hot water with nice fluffy towels. Excellent cooked to order breakfast.
