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 KingdomThere was construction work happening out back, it wasn't too noisy but would have been nice to be informed in advance particularly if planning a relaxing trip with lie-ins. The cups were also not completely clean on arrival and shower door was broken but realistically minor inconveniences and the quality of the room and location made up for this.
Amazing location, good value for money, lovely room.

United KingdomThe room was modern and comfortable with new features added in including new bathroom and bed. The host had great communication with us and was always available to answer questions and queries. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa facilities which was easy to get to via car. Our room was made available for us arriving into Windermere which was very kind and helpful for our trip!

The property was lovely! Owen, the owner, was so kind to us. He welcomed us into the room and provided us information including details of our stay, places to eat/drink, and spa information. The room was inviting and had great facilities! There was a beautiful view from our room! Overall a great experience!

Stunning property in a great location!

We will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family.

United KingdomNothing to report! 😊 Planning a second stay very soon.
•Warmth of welcome from the owner, Owen - and recommendations re good places to eat. • Comfortable, well equipped room with no traffic noise. We slept like logs. • Great breakfast • On site parking was a huge plus! We parked up when we arrived - and didn't need to drive at all for the duration of our stay. Glenville House is in a superb location- a 10 minute stroll to Bowness in one direction, and Windermere in the other. Fab (and very cheap) local transport links meant that we were also able to explore Grasmere & Ambleside on the 599 open topped hop on, hop off bus. Enjoying a leisurely beer with no driving. •One of the most relaxing mini - breaks we've had! • Unfortunately we didn't have time to use the pool and spa, but we're looking forward to it on our next stay.
