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 KingdomGreat host's with service second to none and rarely found nowadays. Lovely room with great view, clean and well equipped (iron and board, hairdryer plenty tea, coffee sugar etc. even fresh milk and biscuits), wanted for nothing. Exceptional breakfast. Felt very homely and welcomed and will definitely stay again. Two very lovely guys... pleasure to meet you both and look forward to seeing you next year.

United KingdomJust a couple of points that made Kentwood just shy of perfect! I understand the ease of pre-ordering your breakfast the day before for the host, however we found ourselves either forgetting (as we were constantly out), or not being sure what we would want the next morning (if anything) and feeling a little pressure to choose. I am confident that the hosts would be completely flexible with this but we felt guilty about changing our minds as they were so lovely. As convenient as it is having the pub right next door, we did find the punters at the end of Friday night being extremely loud and hanging around outside until gone midnight. This of course is not the fault of the hosts, just something to be aware of when booking. I do think the property is *slightly* expensive for what it is. As lovely as it is, £150 a night is a lot to ask for a B&B in a sleepy place like Arnside. Clutching at straws to a find a negative but we would 100% recommend staying here and will hopefully be back.
We were in Arnside for a wedding this previous weekend and had a lovely stay at Kentwood. As we were out for most of the time due to the wedding, we didn't spend a whole lot of time there other than sleeping and having breakfast. However Alex and David were very welcoming and let us check into our room early, making us feel very comfortable from the get go. The house is situated very centrally in Arnside, right next to the promenade and about a 10 min walk to the station. The room was a good size with a spacious bathroom with walk in shower and all very clean with almost everything we could need. The bath robes were a lovely extra! Breakfast was good, and there was a nice selection to choose from.

United KingdomDavid and Alex are very welcoming, kind and considerate hosts, with attention to detail such as fresh milk in the room (in a small fridge), tea and shortbread in arrival and making the time to sit and chat when I arrived. Breakfast was great (especially the overnight oats) and nothing seemed to be too much trouble, including lending me local maps and walk books to help me enjoy the local area, and driving me to Arnside station on departure. It's a 3 minute walk to the shops and restaurants on the promenade and under 15 minutes walk to the station. The house is immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable and I slept like a log. I hope to return soon!

Alex & David excellent hosts, You have a lovely B&B with a lovely attention to detail, fantastic location, and great knowledge of the area. I think Kentwood deserves a 10 all day, the bathroom in our bedroom was amazing with the best shower ever, the reason for our score of 9 was down to the breakfast. The service was brilliant, as was chatting to you both, but, the breakfast just let it down, the bacon was dry and seemed to have been cooked well before we got it, plus the large breakfast served on a small plate doesn't work. This certainly won't stop us returning. Thanks for a great stay. Andy & Jackie
