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...).

United KingdomEverything was fine!
"Little Burbank" is an excellent choice for a stay in the Lake District - clean, comfortable, and with a stunning view of the hills from the living-room window.In a countryside setting close to Windermere, but with an excellent pub across the road, and a bus-stop close at hand (plus free on-site car-parking). We spent 5 nights here, and would have liked to stay longer.

Australia* Not a bad thing- but to note* This location suits travellers with a vehicle and caution needs to be taken with it being located on the main road. The bathroom is very small and floor gets wet up to the toilet. Take care in closing the toilet/shower sliding door, as you can get stuck inside if it's closed all the way Need to request the laundry facilities
The hosts were just lovely and very friendly. The location was good, no more than 10 mins drive to the main town and shops. Tranquil location and space with well equipped kitchen and lounge room. Bedroom was comfortable and shower was nice with hot water

United KingdomIf you're not a confident driver you might not like turning onto the road the house is on, but as long as you're patient and take your time the road is fine.
Really clean flat, friendly and helpful owners. Great access to rest of Lakes and easily accessible from M6. Flat is well equipped with oven, four-ring hob, microwave and TV with Sky.

United KingdomThe biggest pan was still a little small for us, would have enjoyed a wok or similar for the kitchen. The public transport links were not as helpful as we had hoped but that isn’t the owners fault obviously, just a note in case that is a must for you. This was due to poor uber pick ups nearby that drivers were reluctant to use, causing a number of unaccepted lift requests, as well as multiple longer bus changeovers to reach certain towns (e.g. Keswick). The house also got very hot, could be our mistake with the heating but we believe they were turned low most of the time.
The location was perfect for hiking and the ability to cook was extremely helpful in managing my intolerances that store bought food can aggravate. The view was beautiful, and the facilities were very clean. Also, Netflix and such were provided on site by the owners, perfect for us after getting back from our walks. Finally, upon leaving we forgot our house keys. Mel called us immediately and was kind enough to stay in so we could enjoy our last day before heading back for them, in our opinion it went beyond what we expected from an Airbnb.

The place is beautifully styled, cozy, and full of charm. The location is perfect, 2 miles to Windermere but away from the tourist crowds, so you get peace and quiet with stunning views right from the big window. Just sitting in the living room was already so relaxing. The apartment has such a calming, welcoming vibe – it’s the perfect escape from the city. It is very clean and equipped with everything you need in the kitchen if you feel like cooking.

United KingdomNothing to dislike Just be aware maybe not to use satnav. But the entrance to little Burbank is opposite the garage which sells motorhomes. When you pull into the driveway don't go up the hill drive until the gate been opened as it is very steep.
Stunning little apartment, fantastic location. Definitely very homely and cosy. Fully equipped kitchen. Even a new dish cloth and washing up liquid which I forgot to bring so that was handy. Comfortable bed bit squeaky mind 🤨. Excellent wet room. Perfect hot shower. All furnished very lovely.

AustraliaDidn’t dislike anything. My only tip would be : Don’t try and find it without speaking to the owners first as it’s well tucked away in a quiet location.
Great property with kitchen and combined washer and dryer. Lovely and sunny in the afternoons. Owners were very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nice pub which is an easy walk away does good meals and trivia nights.
