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 KingdomNothing!! Everything were amazing, wonderful !!
I stayed here to explore Windermere. The first thing that impressed me when I arrived was the lovely garden. The garden is so beautiful and lovely that it is no wonder Peter Rabbit was there. Not only in the garden, but also in the house there are many Peter Rabbit related decorations. I could really feel the world of the representative works of the Lake District. The room was amazing beautiful and just the right size for a one person stay. The bed was very comfortable. Cookies, coffee and tea were available and very comfortable. The design and decor of the room was very British, classic, and had a wonderful atmosphere. It was bright and clean, and the view of the garden from the window was wonderful and again inspiring. The bathroom is clean and comfortable. There are towels and even bathrobes, everything you need is provided. And above all, the breakfast is amazing and wonderful. There are so many choices and options to choose from that you can't be bothered, and they cater to everyone, GF, vegetarian, etc. It is delivered to your room on time as requested. The decorations on the trays are amazing and beautiful. I can say that it is many times nicer than some of the more famous hotels in Windermere. The wonderful breakfast with a view of the lovely garden was a real treat and a wonderful memory of my trip. The hosts are kind and nice people who make a wonderful garden and breakfast. They have a lovely dog and the rooms are dog friendly. It is about a 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal on Lake Windermere. The Peter Rabbit facility and town center are a short walk away. it is a wonderful location with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. There are many other nice hotels in Windermere, but this lodge is definitely one of the best. I would recommend it to many people. I can't believe how great the stay is for the price! you are lucky to find this lodge, I hope you book it because it will definitely be a wonderful stay!!!!!
