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 KingdomOak View Apartment was quite simply - amazing. Spacious and clean with everything we needed. The bed was soooo comfortable, which can be really hard to find in a holiday rental. The location couldn't have been more perfect, just around the corner from the lake and lots of lovely restaurants, bars and beer gardens literally steps away. Checking in and out was super easy and considering you're getting an entire apartment in a perfectly central location the value for money is excellent! The only thing people might need to be aware of when booking is there are quite a few stairs. Didnt bother us at all but worth knowing for anyone with accessibility issues. Overall we would highly recommend and will definitely be back if we get the chance!

AustraliaThis is a great self-catering unit in the heart of the Bowness village looking over the Ash Street pedestrian mall. The first floor unit does have a two floor walk up from the lane behind it, but has a well equipped kitchen, lounge room, bedroom, large comfy bed, modern bathroom with plenty of hot water, good wifi, and easy self check-in using a keysafe at the entry door. There is no parking at the unit so, after dropping off the luggage, paid parking is available nearby at the Rayrigg Rd carpark for 10GBP/day or 22GBP for 3 days. We stayed 2 nights and could easily have stayed a full week.

United KingdomThe only thing we didn't like was that we had to leave early as I had a fall at the lake (my fault completely).
Position was really central, with a pub next door and and another across the road. Shops all very short walk away and the lake just down the street. Wonderful that on arrival there was tea and coffee milk and sugar. Level of cleanliness was excellent thank you 😊 will definitely stay again.

United KingdomLoved everything except “ no shower mat” - I have a balance condition, so it is a requirement for me.
I was impressed by the brilliant instructions to locate the property inBowness ( I’m fairly local, visiting family). The apartment was as seen in the photographs and was perfect for a couple. The location was brilliant, right in the centre. The bed and pillows were probably one of the comfiest staycation beds I’ve ever slept in ( as good as my simba mattress at home). Very clean and well organised apartment. I’m we’ll definitely stay again. Worth every penny!

United KingdomThe only thing is the toilet and shower is in the hallway as you enter the bedroom. It did not bother us but just a heads up if you are planning to book the place.
I love that it is very close to the bowness pier where you can walk around and easily get into the ferry. A lot of shops and restaurants nearby as well.

United KingdomParking is tricky but that was made clear to us, and can't be helped as the location is so central.
Very clear and easy instructions to access the keys and property. The Health Club access was a great addition (sadly we didn't have time to try it on this stay) Provision of Tea, coffee and milk was a bonus too.

United KingdomWe was provided a link for the self check in instructions, this was a big problem for us as the link would not open on our phone from the website. We had to get the link sent by SMS to read the instructions.
The apartment was great and just what we needed with the little open plan kitchen and lounge. Nice and comfortable for our own small prepared breakfasts. Great location. Parking is best a little down the road, it is safe and quite cheap for 24 hours, we dropped our bags at the property and then went to park the car in the carpark.
