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.).

Its location between Bowness and Windermere. Bus stops nearby. Ample car parking area. Very technology centric - provide guest with tablet in the room. All information readily available in the tablet inclusive of check-in and check-out and daily ordering for various types of breakfast. Small refrigerator in the room. Affiliate with nearby heath centre. Outdoor terrace facing water stream.

United Kingdom2 tiny niggles. The spiral staircase was awkward carrying luggage to the room but otherwise we had no issue. Time chosen for breakfast, this means the specific time your cooked food is coming to your table. You need to factor in a good 15 mins before this if you're going to eat your cereal/fruit/yoghurt first. Otherwise, you will have your cooked food in front of you while holding your bowl of cereals.
The room was decorated to a high standard, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great shower, and the toiletries supplied were lush. Breakfast was delicious, and the full English cooked to perfection. Ian was a fab host and extremely helpful and accommodating. The location was superb, and we loved Bowness village for the views, lake, and eateries. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

United KingdomWe had a lovely stay at Glencree, and Ian and the team were really kind. It was the perfect location, only a 15 minute walk down to Windermere lake and lots of pubs, restaurants, and shops. We were upgraded to the suite which was fab! Breakfast was lovely, they catered for me as a vegan with no problem, and everything was clean and comfortable. Would definitely return if I come back to the lakes (which I will!)

United KingdomThe room was a little on the small side but this was expected and we knew this at the time of booking
Perfect location and such a cute little B&B. You order breakfast the night before through an iPad in your room which is great. I even changed my order the next morning and this was not a problem at all. Breakfast was so lovely and fresh. There are plenty of restaurants and there is so much to see. S uch a great location. Nothing was too much for the owners, they went above and beyond to meet our expectations. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
