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 cottage was perfect, it had everything we needed. The peaceful location was ideal. The walking distance to Coniston lake and Coniston village was just right.

United KingdomRadiator in master bedroom needs bleeding and ceiling lights in sitting room where not working. There is only space for one car outside the door, we parked our other car opposite on the lane. Parking in Coniston is expensive (£5 minimum per stay) and it is a 20 minute walk into Coniston along a bridle path so may not be suitable if mobility is restricted.
Loved the style of the cottage, especially all of the wooden furniture. It was a bit further from Coniston than we expected although there is a path into the village (when not flooded). It rained a lot during our stay so we spent much time chilling out in the two reception rooms which are very comfortable.

United KingdomThe boiler stays on for quite a while after the hot tap is run and is extremely noisy if you're in the smaller of the two double rooms but this just gave me the excuse to use the twin room and get a bed to myself! The hob took me a while to figure out and we could not get one of the provided pans to work on it, despite the welcome booklet giving instructions - although we did eventually find a manual on top of the fridge for any future visitors who aren't used to the technology. The driveway is a little difficult to manouevre into and is initially quite steep so my reversing alarms were having a field day, so plan for this and kick your passenger out early to guide you in!
The cottage was absolutely beautiful, even better than the photos on the listing show! We loved the open fire on a rainy evening after a long walk and the seated area in the dining room is lovely for an early morning read overlooking the garden. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for your stay and the dining room was well stocked with various crockery and glasses. Everything was spotless when we arrived and having shampoo and bodywash provided was a bonus... the rainfall shower in the upstairs bathroom was amazing! The cottage is in the perfect place to explore the coniston area (there is even a hidden pathway to coniston without having to walk down the roads) and was so peaceful with it being set back from the road up a little lane. You are alway at risk of getting ticks if you're out walking in the lakes (I found that I'd picked up three while we were out one day) so I was very impressed that the owners had even thought of this and had a basket stored on top of the fridge with tick removers and other useful items for both humans and pets.

United KingdomParking was a little tight for two larger cars.
Beautiful place to take a break or holiday in an ideal location in the heart of the lakes. Rustic charm, gorgeous garden and views, waking to the sound of the stream next to the cottage was bliss. It was immaculate, well presented and well equipped with everything you might need. Beds were lovely and comfy with good quality bedding. Rooms were spacious the dining room was a lovely space for eating and doors onto the garden. Thank you so much for a really lovely stay at a reasonable affordable price.Will definitely return five stars.

United KingdomCould do with a little TLC, which would enhance the experience. Wi fi was unavailable throughout our stay, while this was outwith the owners control, we weren’t advised in advance. Despite messaging the owner we had to call to get an update. No additional updates were shared by the owner. Poor customer service.
