Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomThe noise of the generator was noticeable when it was running which, thankfully, didn't seem to be that often. But it is what you have to expect when it comes to a property which holds a unique position, and is therefore not able to have a mains supply.
You can shut the front door on the property, open up the doors on to the terrace, and it's like you're in a completely different place, separate from the outside world that you've just entered from. The position right on/over the lake is completely unique, and we could see why the boathouse is so heavily photographed, drawn and painted, and it deserves it's fame in the area.

United KingdomThe tricky parking I would advise anyone staying to off load their stuff and park opposite. We appreciated the bubbly left in the fridge for us. However for the money we expected some sort of welcome basket. Bread, milk, butter,biscuits and marmalade are standard in Most cottages we have stayed in

United KingdomFar too many spiders and webs. I know it’s that time of year, but would expect de webbing to take place.
Amazing location, cozy and comfy inside. Pooley Bridge is a short walk away (torch needed at night as no pavement to walk on and minimal road lighting). 1863 restaurant in Pooley Bridge is worth a visit.

United KingdomMissing some of the little details I would expect for the luxury prices such as paint chips on kitchen cupboards, grout missing on bathroom floor, shutters have paint and burn marks on them. Nowhere in shower to put the shampoo etc whilst showering. Just little things that didn't spoil our stay but expected more for the money.
Beautiful location overlooking the lake. Boathouse was lovely, comfy bed, log fire. Something different.

United KingdomThe only thing that I can pick up on is the property is on the bend of a busy road, and there’s a real moment of dread each time we left the property, it’s a completely blind corner. I’m pretty certain that there are no signs for the traffic to slow down or warn them vehicles maybe pulling out, and although a junction mirror, it was pretty useless. Maybe something for the local authority to consider.
The property is finished to a high standard with stunning views over the lake. It’s cosy and modern inside but there’s also a feel of history. Perfect to share with your other half.

United KingdomProximity of the road and traffic noise is a shock. Unfortunately I found a review commenting about this after I booked and saw the reply from the owners saying they didn’t hide the road in the photos. Although this may be true it’s not mentioned and every advertising photo is taken shooting away from the road. It’s the main route out and in to the north lakes so very very busy in season. It does die down so if your out during the day it’s not so bad. Access to the drive has been mentioned by a lot and although a warning notice is on the road it’s not sufficient. It’s a beautiful boat house but ruined by the proximity of the road. The entrance to the property is only a few feet from the road
Fantastic views and nicely furnished
