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 KingdomOn arrival we received a warm welcome and assistance with our luggage and shown to our room. The hotel has a central location close to the centre of Bo'ness on Windermere and sits in lovely gardens. Decoration throughout is tasteful and fresh and the hotel was spotlessly clean. Our bed was very comfortable ensuring a good night's sleep and breakfast choice was very good with a beautifully cooked breakfast. The owner and staff were very helpful throughout.

United KingdomAll good.
Couldn't have picked a better place for our 4 night stay in Bowness. Lovely peaceful location but just a few minutes walk to restaurants and shops and to the lake. Nick was very welcoming. Delicious home made shortbread in room and cakes, bottled water and fresh milk in hall every day. Breakfast was also excellent with a good choice of hot and cold. Very clean and comfortable room overlooking the lovely garden with a sparkling bathroom. Easy parking. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Bowness. Loved it.

United KingdomIt wouldn't be suitable for anyone staying who had limited mobility or disabilities.
Such a great find. The location was quiet ....just out of town, a short walk down the hill into Bowness with plenty of restaurants, pubs, shops etc..Host Nick couldn't have been more attentive.....daily fresh milk, homemade cakes & bottled water available each day on the first floor landing for all the guests to help themselves .Also a jar of little home baked shortbreads in our room to accompany the tea/ coffee making facilities. Breakfast was really tasty, fresh & locally sourced. Beautiful garden for guests to enjoy. We had a garden view room, on the top attic floor & it was very spacious.

We stayed in the Penthouse room which was a lovely open roof space with a seating area with an extra TV which was a nice touch. Nick & his staff were brilliant hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The cooked breakfast was delicious. Fresh milk, bottled water & homemade cake was a real treat. Great location with a beautiful view.
