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 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 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.).

SingaporeNone.
Beautiful English charm. Our girls took the bigger room and we took the smaller one with a great sunset view. I could sit by the window all evening to watch the sunset and catch up with work till 10pm since it is summer time. Glad we stayed slightly away from the town as it gives us the opportunity to do more walks to town and to the lake. Sharon is really helpful and recommend places we could visit around Keswick. We came with little preparation and that helps a lot. Peter had so much to share with my husband about football as they were both Man U fans. Oh and I must definitely talk about the amazing breakfast. So sumptuous and lots of variety to choose from.

United KingdomRoad was quite busy so could be noisy with the window open. Soon got used to it though.
The location was excellent, a 10 minute walk to the town. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of cereal and cooked food. Sharon makes the best waffles and pancakes.

United KingdomNo private parking. However, there was a street opposite the property where parking was free.
Location was great - lovely short walk into Keswick centre along a cycle path so nice and flat. Sharon was lovely and knowledgable of the area. She also catered to my gluten allergy for the full English breakfast I had (even made me gluten free hasbrowns!) and was a completely great host. Room was snug and had a great mountain view.

Very pleasant reception by our hostess ,making us feel welcome and at home. The room was not very big but comfortable and adequate. Breakfast was a choice of several dishes and the choices we made were of a high standard. The full English breakfast was well cooked and generous in size. The whole experience , from the accommodation point of view, was very pleasing.

United KingdomThis is a lovely B&B in a good location. It is a 15 min walk into Keswick where there are plenty of restaurants and bars. It is also a 15 min walk to Castlerigg stone circle, from where you can find excellent walks. Sharon is a welcoming host and cooks an excellent breakfast, with lots of choice on offer. She is also very knowledgeable about the area and can recommend walks/ things to do etc. Our room was spotless and comfortable and we had a great stay. Parking is easy - there is a road opposite the B&B where you can park for free.

United KingdomHonestly can’t fault it. Home from Home.
I loved everything, it was cosey, spotless clean, no noise, beds are like sleeping on a cloud. Sharron the owner was so lovely, I’ve never stayed anywhere with a host that made us feel as welcome and her breakfasts are 5 star! It was like home from home and we will 100% book again.

United KingdomWhat's not to like?
You really do get the personal touch at Burnside B&B, with a warm welcome from Sharon who has a fantastic knowledge of the town and things to do around the area. What a lovely place on the outskirts of Keswick, with a lovely 15 minute walk via a tree lined cycle path into the bustling town centre. We were in Room 2 which is at the front on the first floor with a big bay window and cast iron fireplace. This is a very spacious room with a sofa (sofabed) and lovely William Morris wallpaper. The B&B is tastefully decorated and totally in keeping with the age of the property, which you can has been lovingly restored by the owners. The room was very restful, clean, spacious and the bed was incredibly comfy. Breakfast was freshly prepared to order with lots of choice. We had most things during our two night stay, including the usual full English to smoked salmon and scrambled eggs to fresh and fluffy pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Tea, coffee and toast with Sharon’s home-made jam and marmalade were plentiful and tasty. Very comfortable, relaxing and friendly stay.
