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 KingdomThe weather!!
No 1 Retreat at Carnforth is a perfect base for exploring the South Lakes area. The accommodation was outstanding, the interior has all the finishing touches and comforts required for a lovely holiday. The lodge was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The children loved feeding the ducks on the pond opposite and enjoyed the play park. The host, Margaret was excellent at communicating information and provided a very good guidebook for the area. There’s plenty to do in the area whatever the weather. The leisure centre just over the road at the South Lakeland Park has a great swimming pool and we purchased a family pass for the day for £25, good value as my husband and two grandchildren went twice. We enjoyed a workshop at the Chocolate Factory in Hawkshead.

Right from first sight, before even going in, we thought it looked lovely and just what we wanted. Great location on the site, opposite a small duck pond. The outside seating areas are in good positions to take advantage of the sun and in the evening we could sit out until late to catch the last of the sunshine. It got better when we went into the lodge. Spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished in every room. Plenty of items in the cupboards for cleaning and even quite a few items that we could have forgotten to bring, like tea, coffee, sugar etc, even a spice rack. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom a decent size with choice of bath or shower. We loved the double aspect patio doors that made everywhere inside so light and airy. in a word, perfect, for us. A special mention to Margaret, who was always in contact promptly about any query that we had. We hope to return soon

United KingdomAmazing stay, the location is great with so many attractions close to the lodge. The lodge is beautifully decorated and the host gives lots of extra little touches like the dog treats and raspberry Swiss rolls for us humans. There are many places to walk and attractions to see for both families and couples. There are lovely places to eat close by, the food at the Water's Edge restaurant on site was amazing and dog friendly. We also venture to Longlands Inn for a drink and to watch the football, again we had a warm welcome for the dogs and children. Everyone on site were polite.amd friendly. The whole holiday park is neat and tidy. Each day we got to see and hear the duck on the ponds. We look forward to coming back.
