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 KingdomNothing. Maybe the ladies would appreciate a full length mirror before going out in the evening?!
Exceptional B&B. Beautiful large room and en-suite with every attention to detail ensuring we had the most comfortable stay. Lovely freshly cooked breakfast to order. The hosts are delightful with John helping us to get the very best from our stay. We found the picturesque location very convenient to reach, although a car is really required to reach places to eat and drink, but away from the hustle and bustle of Keswick. Would definitely recommend.

United KingdomThis is a small bed and breakfast but the quality of the room was just fantastic. They have really made such an effort to make it feel like a home from Home. The room was massive, the bed was excellent. The bathroom had a great shower or a bath. Lovely and clean. Great location. I will be going back again. Just superbly done.

United KingdomLike all the other reviews… we loved it all!
The best B&B we have ever been to! The room was perfect with everything you could possibly want and more. The room was so well equipped from a fantastic range of teas and coffees, to battery candles in the bath, to sleeping masks available and a fantastic use of a drying room when we got soggy in the typical Lake District weather. The breakfast was fantastic with a range of cereals, yoghurts and fruits followed by a cooked breakfast. John and his wife were fantastic hosts - generally interested in what we were doing and offering advice about the local area. We couldn’t have asked for better… so much so that we’ve already booked it again!

United StatesThere is not a thing we could add here that we didn’t like.
Our room was tastefully decorated with a modern spa-like restroom. Breakfast was Cumbrian gourmet each morning. Best of all, our host John, treated us like family. We enjoyed our conversations with him and we could have spent hours enjoying his interesting stories and insights.

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.
