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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomThe only criticism that anyone could make , is that the rooms are a bit tight. BUT, that is it. I would definitely stay here again (and again)
Breakfast was brilliant, order on the tablet and any adjustments are easily taken care of by Ian, in the morning. The room and bed were comfy and warm. Amazing location, with an easy walk to Windermere or Bowness. It is also on the Hop on Hop off bus route for further afield. Nicely maintained, the host is there if you need him, and there's tea and coffee in the room. Parking outside or across the road is ample. We even managed to use the free pool access, with a hot tub and steam room to take away the aches and pains from a walk around Loughrigg

United Kingdomthere is nothing I didn't like.
I stayed at Glencree for 2 nights after reading all the positive reviews and what can I say except for what a wonderful guest house, it exceeded my expectations, it was spotlessly clean and modern, the host Ian was polite and couldn't do enough for you. The location is great only a 10 minute walk into windermere or Bowness. The breakfast is made to order at a time to suit and was lovely, the breakfast menu offered a good selection and catered for dietry requirements. I would certainly recommend the guest house and when I visit the area again will most certainly be staying there.

United KingdomThe breakfast booking system using the tablet was quite clunky and needed lots of unecessary information. I would have happily have used a paper form.
The accommodation is in a good location for exploring Windermere, Bowness and the lake. We were able to walk to restaurants in Windermere in the evening for food. The owner was very helpful and was available to answer questions.

United KingdomEverything was perfect! The room was excellent with quality accessories to make it a really comfortable stay. Breakfast we had one full English and one smoked salmon and scrambled egg both providing a good start to the day. The host was very friendly and helpful throughout the short stay clearly going that extra mile to look after guests.
