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.).

Everything about our stay was perfect. Location in Windermere was quiet but still within a short walking distance to some lovely coffee places, restaurants and shops. Our bedroom (room 8) on the top floor had stunning views, and very comfy beds. For our family of three the space was ideal. Not at all cramped, and with the added bonus of a very clean en-suite with ample towels and lush toiletries. The thing that makes this place has to be Paula and Richard. The perfect hosts! They shared loads of recommendations for walks, activities and places to eat, all of which were great. Richard even went to the trouble of drawing out some walking routes for us which helped with navigation for our family, who aren't confident ramblers. We liked ordering breakfast the night before, and then it was ready when we arrived in the dining room. Great to have the option of breakfast in your room, and had we stayed longer we probably would have done this too. Breakfast was lovely and again Paula was super accommodating asking our son if he wanted small variations to his order, loved her fruit com pots! Really liked that everything here was locally sourced. We felt cared for throughout, and with the hosts local knowledge, settled into the area quickly. They even went to the trouble of letting us know we'd left some bits in our room and arranged with us to collect them. Thank you! Lucy, Danny and George (Essex)

United KingdomThe fact we had to come home
The guesthouse is in a quiet area with car parking spaces. The house is lovely and welcoming. Paula & Richard are so lovely. Couldn't do enough for you.. Breakfast were amazing and the coffee a delight. The room was very clean and spacious for us two and being the UK it was a bit nippy out but that was ok as we had heating on which was very nice. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again. Shame we had to go back home.

United KingdomWe loved our stay at Kirkwood Guest House - it is the perfect location between Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere, only a 5-10 minute walk from either town. Paula was so lovey and accommodating and provided us with delicious breakfast every day (I would particularly recommend the waffles) as well as recommending where to eat in the local area. Our bed was so comfy and all the bathroom facilities were great.

United KingdomThe only things were that the bed had a bottom and unfortunately (as a very tall couple) our feet were quite uncomfortable during the night as the bed wasn’t long enough and the wifi didn’t reach to our room properly- that’s perhaps just us being picky though!
Really lovely little B&B. The hosts really care about you and I love the option of being able to have breakfast in bed. Everything was clean and tidy and the location was absolutely perfect for both Windermere & Bowness.
