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 KingdomOld wooden sticking front door that was difficult to open and lock shut. Missing the minor things like brew making items, especially after a long journey, teabags coffee, a carton of milk etc. also, only one toilet roll.
Excellent interior, very nice and comfortable. Lovely bathroom and a fantastic shower. Ideal location.

IndonesiaThe sofa was really really REALLY uncomfortable, after a long day of hiking it would be nice to have something you can relax on, it was the type of sofa you’d find in a waiting room! Also the door to enter the property was in desperate need of a quick paint.
Really great location, was super clean and comfortable beds. Lovely family bathroom, kitchen well stocked with everything we needed. Note to bring your own shower gel and sauces for cooking etc. Overall really good value for money.

United KingdomThe only negative we found was that there was a dvd player but nowhere to plug it in without unplugging something else (the WiFi, cameras, heating or TV). Very minor I know, but worth mentioning!
Very fresh, clean property with everything we needed. The children loved the snug upstairs, and being able to let them watch TV in their "lair" was a treat for us too! An easy walk into town and plenty of ideas for walks and take aways in the folders. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

United KingdomAs with other reviews, we did find that while the inside of the cottage was incredibly clean and well looked after, the outside of the cottage could do with a bit of TLC - peeling paint, a broken outdoor step, and an untidy/overgrown front garden. We arrived to a bag of rubbish and bits of rubbish in the back garden which we had to clear before us or the dog were able to go outside. It would have been good to have some blankets available, either in the living room or the bedrooms.
We had a lovely stay at Lakestone Cottage and would recommend it to others. Great location for exploring the Lakes - 5 mins walk to Windermere, 15-20mins walk to Bowness, and a good location for driving out to other spots. A quiet road with plenty of street parking. The house itself was spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay, including lots of cooking utensils and cleaning products, eg dishwasher tablets, cloths, spray. Perfect size for four adults and a small dog! Good sized bedrooms with lots of storage, and it was great to have the porch area to keep boots and coats. It was useful to have the pebbled garden and outdoor furniture, as well as a lovely park with fields and a cafe just around the corner. Really handy washing machine and utility space too.

United KingdomThe cottage really needs some TLC. Paintwork rotting and panelling on the exterior of the house falling apart. On arrival we weren’t greeted with any form of welcome basket - 1x toilet roll between 4 people and almost empty soaps. Just a shame as we’ve stayed with Skye Cottages before and always had a lovely experience. It’s hardly a cheap stay, so would’ve expected more.
The location was good.

United KingdomI was really disappointed that there were no spare toilet rolls, and no kitchen roll, and no salt & pepper, and no handwash in the bathroom, etc. The property felt bizarrely under-stocked.
It was extremely clean and with fresh decoration, and a great location.

United KingdomWe did like the property as a whole but felt that after a full days walking and exploring it wasn’t the most comfortable to return to. Snug and warm but the sofas and beds weren’t very comfy. Possibly something we wouldn’t have usually noticed but after active days we did.
Location was perfect, in the middle of both Bowness and Windermere, both options a 10 minute walk away. Clean on arrival, well equipped kitchen and pantry room. Child and dog friendly.

United KingdomThat we couldn’t stay longer in it
The cottage was beautiful. it was modern yet warm and inviting. The owners thought of everything, from Digital TV to a cleaning pack which included dishwasher tabs. The kitchen was so well equipped I could have been in my own kitchen. The beds were so comfortable, and the walk in shower and free standing bath were gorgeous. A lovely 10 minute walk to Bowness on Windermere. would stay again and highly recommend.
