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.).

United StatesIf you drive, know how to deal with hills and narrow roads. Otherwise, no suggestions
Deborah is the warmest host. She goes out of her way to ensure you have a great stay. There should be more innkeepers like her! The area is quiet but close to restaurants. Our room was clean, spacious, and we particularly loved sitting and reading in the cosy chairs overlooking the hill. Bathroom had great water pressure. Walking distance to Hillsborough. Felt like being home.

The breakfast was beautifully cooked. The overnight oats were delicious. Lorraine is very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. For my husband's birthday, he received a card and gift. Also we were given a lovely piece of cake from a local bakery. It is located very near to the town centre so it's easy to access. We had no trouble parking close by when we were there.

United KingdomNothing really, apart from the fact that we could only stay 2 nights - I would have liked to have stayed a lot longer. Anyone who knows Keswick will appreciated that trying to park a car is very difficult, so give yourself a bit more time to find a space. As it turned out, I eventually found a space on the corner of Dorchester House!
From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were treated like royalty. Simon & Lorraine could not have been more helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with all we needed. Breakfast was delicious and the service was exceptional. Lorraine learned it was my birthday on the second day of our visit and I found a birthday card and present on our breakfast table. That was such a kind and thoughtful gesture going way beyond my expectations. Lorraine is a real star!
