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 KingdomBreakfast was lovely. The owners like you to pre-order by text the evening before, that wasn't a problem. I have Coeliac disease, so have to eat gluten free. Paula, the host also has Coeliac Disease and her husband Richard, who does the cooking, is obviously very clued up about how to prepare and serve gluten free food safely for Coeliacs. This made our stay very comfortable. Paula & Richard are very warm and welcoming people, clearly love their business and they have good knowledge of the area, so are able to advise on places to go, things to do.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything to be unhappy about. It was a little bit out of the centre of Windermere, but certainly within walking distance. If walking is difficult for anyone, there is a bus stop at the end of the road that the guesthouse is on, taking you right into the centre of town.
A lovely, clean guesthouse run by a lovely attentive couple. Breakfast was very nice, all made to order....Nothing was too much trouble for them. Parking is really good, just on the road that the guesthouse is situated on.

United StatesCozy bedroom. Paula and Richard excellent hosts-friendly, offered helpful advice. Great breakfasts. We stayed a week and would have loved to stay longer. Easy walk from train/bus and down into Bowness to catch the lake and ferries. Also near many nice places to walk the dales. Recommend the Dale way and up to Brant Fell for stunning views of the lake.

United KingdomNothing to complain about. Not sure about disabled facilities as we are currently quite mobile.
Great location roughly halfway between Windermere and Bowness, so walkable in either direction. Regular bus service down to Bowness or up to Windermere and Grasmere or connections to Keswick or Kendal. The guest house is clean and comfortable with bright, spacious rooms nicely decorated. TV with DVD facility and a bookcase full of DVDs on the landing. There are 2 dedicated parking bays with charging points and further roadside parking, with the option of using the school car park during holiday periods. The owners are very welcoming and offer a good cooked breakfast if required. We will be happy to stay here on future visits to the area.

AustraliaA pleasure to stay at Kirkwood which is nestled between Bowness on Windermere and Windermere (an easy walk in either direction) Richard and Paula are the best hosts you could hope to have. The room was spotless, the breakfast superb, in fact there was nothing we could fault, absolutely 10/10 - will return one day for sure :)
