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 KingdomAn upgrade to King size beds when time and money allow would be a good addition, which is not to say that the current beds are bad, but a bit more room would be appreciated.
Excellent location a few minutes walk from the centre. Car parking being provided is a bonus with limited options nearby. Breakfast was very good the 4 days we stayed. Adam and Symmoane were friendly and welcoming and are eager to please and find ways to continue to improve. Bedroom was a decent size and everything worked. We will have no hestitation in staying here again in the future.

United KingdomOur only negative was the pillows were a bit soft, however this is just personal preference as we have memory foam pillows at home!
The breakfast was very nice, more than enough to set you up for the day 🥰. The location was really good, it was a 2 minute walk to the nearest bars, restaurants and shops! The staff were excellent, very helpful, friendly and efficient, nothing was a bother to them. The rooms had everything you could possibly need, iron, ironing board, toiletries, hairdryer, a fan incase it was too hot and an extra heater incase it was too cold! All needs catered for. I would definitely come back again and recommend you to ours friends 👍🥰

United KingdomThe shower in our bathroom was quite noisy, but it did have a sign on it saying that it was.
Symmoane and Adam were perfect hosts. The breakfast choices they offer are varied and of good quality. There were lots of little touches they provided, including shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, a large bottle of water and a small bottle of squash, as well as tea, coffee, etc. The Guest House it's self is lovely with lots of original features and has the added bonus of off-street parking. It is in a perfect location for exploring Bowness, Windermere and the surrounding areas and is only a short walk down the hill to the lakeside and ferries. 👍🏻😊

My girls and I loved our stay at Elim Bank Guest House. Our hosts Adam and Symmoane were absolutely amazing, friendly and super hospitable. The accommodation was a short walk to town, quiet, and an exceptionally comfortable place to stay. A home away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, especially the yogurt with berry compote (we will miss having this for breakfast every morning).

United KingdomIt would have been better if eggs were served for breakfast. As the space of the breakfast room is limited, the breakfast time duration is restricted and divided into 3 sessions which need to be pre-booked.
The decor and the Victorian design of the building is fascinating. The staffs are very helpful, friendly and accommodating.
