Each 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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

- The location is perfect! 3 min walk from Windermere Station to get either bus or train. 3 min walk to Orrest Head path, so easy to reach for a morning light walk! Within 5 min walk to the main grocery stores and cafes in Windermere town. - The room is perfect! A bedroom with its own desk and a sofa for reading. It was attached with a living room (including a TV, a CD player, a tea table, a big sofa, and a swivel sofa) with French windows facing the backyard garden - which is huge and pleasant for yoga and hiking warm-up! The whole floor has its own underfloor heating including the bathroom! The most exciting thing is we have the chance to customize our own English breakfast, including vegetarian choices - very fresh and compatible picks of fruit salad! - The host is very kind and careful and cheerful! I was not imagining a host to be our tour guide! She provided us the details for rendezvous and secret lanes to reach the greatest scenery. She is also very careful about giving inductions about the facilities in the room! She is just amazing!!

United StatesAnnesdale House is a dream. It's just a few minutes walk from the train station but a total oasis. The garden is rich and verdant and magical. Breakfast is delicious. The room was so clean and comfortable. The owners are so kind, thoughtful, and helpful. Do not hesitate to book here. It was our favorite stay in England. I wish we could've stayed longer!

United KingdomNothing! I can be a severe critic but could find nothing to fault this exceptional accommodation and host. I only wish I had taken some photos to show.
Everything about Annesdale house including Alena, the Host, is exceptional! From the amazing Fruit salad to the cooked breakfast the food was excellent. Alena's knowledge of the area really made our trip as we visited so many interesting places without ever using the car!!! The accommodation, which combines the best of B&B and Air B & B facilities, is a five minute walk from the Bus station but very quiet and peaceful. Alena has exceptional attention to detail and whilst being very attentive and entertaining gives you room to " do your own thing". Our accommodation consisted of a large bedroom with ensuite plus lounge with comfy seating ( including a Sofa bed if required) and a Smart TV. Best ever!
