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 really. Parking is on the street and dependent on a space being available, but that all worked and the street is very quiet. Upper stairs to bedrooms are steep which could be difficult for someone with mobility problems, but worked perfectly well otherwise.
Christel was an excellent host - very interesting to talk to and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was fine and the room was well appointed and spotlessly clean and tidy.

United KingdomLoved everything about our stay at this property. Host was very welcoming and friendly. Room, facilities, cleanliness and everything about our stay was exceptional. Breakfast was very good, it was not a cooked full breakfast but we didn't want one, so suited us. I will go back hopefully sooner rather than later.

Lovely clean unfussy room. Excellent breakfast with a range of delicious homemade jams. Friendly and welcoming host. NB the house numbering in the street is a little idiosyncratic - lower numbers further up the hill and a few gaps.

United KingdomA television in the room would have been nice to catch up with the news, but free WiFi was available which sufficed.
Room was warm clean and modern with some lovely stylish touches. Breakfast was good but maybe not 'hearty' enough for a full days cycling. However Christel was happy to microwave a sachet of instant porridge I had taken if I had wanted it. Property was a bit of a trek uphill from town, but nothing a couple of pints couldn't deal with, but this meant lovely views and an easy start to the second day of the c2c. There is a secure garage for bike storage and Christel was friendly knowledgeable and helpful.

United KingdomNot much. It was as expected and well placed in the price range.
The location of the B&B is up a significant hill so if you are walking please be aware. The B&B is on the 3rd floor of a residential house and has a shared bathroom and toilet which is perfectly clean and tidy. In the morning breakfast was served around the kitchen table allowing you to talk to the host and the other guests which was wonderful and I had a particularly enjoyable and engaging conversation with the host over shared interests.

United KingdomEverything was great.
This cosy and clean room in a beautiful house was ideal for us to use as a base to visit the Lake District and the surrounding areas. Penrith town centre is within walking distance from the property and there was space to park our car. Christel was an amazing host putting on wonderful breakfasts for us and we felt that we wished we could have stayed longer. We would definitely stay here again.
