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.).

Absolutely stunning place, so clean and such a beautiful location with great views! Mike was an exceptional host, very friendly and was great at communication. We will definitely be staying again, we don’t have one bad thing to say about our stay here. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and even stayed longer than we had planned. We were sad to leave and hope to be back again in summer ☺️

United KingdomThe Chestnut Villa was exceptionally clean and stylish. The rooms are finished to a high standard and we loved the dressing gowns and mini fridge available to use in our room, also the separate dressing room was a lovely touch making our stay feel special. The view from our room was fab, and we love how close the property is to Grasmere without be situated in the village (just a couple of minutes walk in). The owner also owns a gem of a cafe called Freda and Ray in Grasmere which offers a great breakfast and coffee selection! The cappuccino I ordered was gorgeous. I couldn't recommended the Chestnut Villa and the Cafe Freda and Ray more!

United KingdomGreeted on arrival by Michael and shown to our room, Alcock Tarn (upgrade as wasn’t busy that weekend). Stunning views out of the front and back and spotless inside, spent each morning with a coffee gazing over at Loughrigg Fell. Very spacious area throughout. Brilliant location just a five minute walk into the main village where Freda and Ray’s cafe do a cracking breakfast to set you up for the day. Couldn’t recommend it enough, can’t wait to return.

Mike was a wonderful host, kind, accommodating and helpful! The rooms were spotless, comfortable and equipped with everything a traveler would need. I'm not sure which view was more spectacular from the bedroom or the sitting room both incredible. It was a scenic and short walk to the lovely village. We enjoyed Tweedle's so much for dinner we went back for breakfast. I didn't realize how much I would enjoy the lake county and look forward to another visit and stay at the Chestnut Villa. Thank you Mike and staff! ;)

AustraliaWhat an amazing lodge in a stunning setting. Mike was more than helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome in a matter of seconds. The room is tasteful and elegant and a gentle 5 minute walk into the village centre. We took advantage of the discount at the local coffee shop and cafe and we’re not at all disappointed, in fact we were thoroughly impressed rating our coffee as on of the best we’ve had in the UK. In summary we’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

SwitzerlandNo breakfast was included, but we were happy to receive a discount at a café in town (about a 15 minutes walk away from the guesthouse).
The room on the top floor was an excellent place to stay - light, spacious, clean, and with a comfortable bed. The westward-facing view over the mountains was stunning. Mike was a superb host who went out of his way to be helpful.
