Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
We received a warm welcome from John who showed us to our very large stunning room with a queen size bed, a leather recliner settee and unbelievable en suite. The breakfast menu had good choices including vegetarian and vegan. We ate looking out onto the garden patio. The building was an exceptionally good barn conversion with very well kept garden and ideally situated for Keswick. All very good.

United KingdomI have nothing but positive comments for this guest house. I will note however that it is a little way from the local pubs so we did use our car on an evening to go out to eat. (next village) I had no problem with that so no issue at all for us but something to be aware of.
An outstanding place to stay. Away from the hustle and bustle of Keswick but close enough to all the amenities of the area. John and his wife (sorry I forget her name) provide a wonderful relaxing place to stay. Top quality B&B. Just lovely. Well furnished, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was made from quality ingredients and nothing appeared too much trouble for these hosts.

United KingdomThere is nothing wrong with the accommodation at all.
John was very welcoming and had lots of knowledge about surrounding areas and things to do. 3 pubs are around 20 minutes, walk through the county lanes, and John has a taxi number to get you back. Pubs are quite expensive for what you get, but do have a nice pint. The breakfast John does is cooked to order, and the salmon and scrambled egg went down well, that's according to my misses.

United KingdomWhere to begin? Lovely quiet area, beautiful of course. Welcomed at the door by John, taken to huge room. Fabulous bathroom, nice touch to have robes available. We wanted a restful few days & that's exactly what we had. John is so knowledgeable about the area, a delight to chat too. His son does the cooking, wonderful breakfast cooked to order. You must stay here, you won't be disappointed!

The breakfast was fantastic with the best cumberland sausages we've ever had! The hosts were very kind and friendly. They gave great reccomendations for activities and walks near by. Hands down the cleanest room for a hotel, Air BnB or house rental we've ever stayed in! The room was a lot more spacious than we were expecting, the mini fridge was a bonus! We'll definitely have to come back one day!

Has to be one of if not the best room we've ever had. Absolutely huge, comfortable sofa, large flat screen TV with Netflix, a bathroom to die for, super friendly owners and whatever you wanted for breakfast. It's located in a quiet village but not far from the madding crowd. Truly Superb.
