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 KingdomWe had great weather during our stay and had the bedroom window open at night. The noise from the hot tub positioned outside the bedroom took some getting used to.
This is a lovely lodge and a lot of thought has been put into providing everything guests might need.

United KingdomIt would have been more excellent if there was a covering, like a collapsible roof over the area where we have the hot tub.
I like the preparation in place for our arrival, the host left us a bottle of wine and welcome card, which makes us feel important, the hot tub was on and warm for our arrival; it was private and next to the master room.

United KingdomWhat an amazing cosy lodge privately tucked away in a large lodge site. Kate the owner text on the day of arrival asking if we got there ok and if we needed any assistance whatsoever to just let her know. The Xmas decorations were up which my wife loved and also a complimentary bottle of prosecco when we arrived. The lodge itself is stunning and very homely and has everything you need to have a nice relaxing break. About 10 mins in a taxi to windermere too so close enough to enjoy the pubs and restaurants. We will definitely keep this lodge in mind if we ever stay in windermere again and we would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to stay there.

United KingdomWe personally would have appreciated Wi-Fi, though I understand better Wi-Fi is being installed some time next year but we missed it during our stay. Next time we would bring extra pillows. Although I appreciate the owners wanting to maintain their beautiful property, having already read the rules in the welcome pack, having them repeated on signs all over the property was a little stifling.
The hot tub was amazing and really liked that someone came and maintained it daily. The placement of the lodge on the park was perfect, very secluded and private. The decor was lovely and calming and it was very clean. The welcome pack was really informative and the extra sundries provided were handy.
