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 KingdomPerhaps more light in the bedroom would be beneficial. Everything else was excellent.
We loved the location,it was excellent for local walks etc. The property itself is very well maintained and caters extremely well for walkers having a drying room and thoughtful mats for muddy shoes and boots alike. Our bedroom was a lovely double with a view over the beck and also had a single bed which was ideal. Ensuite attached with powerful modern shower. The owners are very attentive and recommended ideal places for us to eat. There is a well stocked honesty bar downstairs and a lovely separate sitting room with TV, board games and a whole multitude of books. Breakfast was cooked to order and was plentiful. They can also you a packed lunch if required. Great place and good value for money.

United KingdomNothing, it was all great.
This is a lovely place to stay. The location is stunning. We were made to feel welcome & the owner gave us lots of local information & places to eat. The room was clean, comfortable and warm. The view amazing. The shower was powerful and the bathroom clean and modern. Everything worked and fitted to a high standard. There was a good choice for breakfast, and cooked to perfection, with a stunning array of local jams and marmalades. The owner was most helpful and even let us park our car for the morning after we checked out so we could go on a cycle ride and let us change out of our wet clothes on our return. Would highly recommended a stay at Old Water View 😊

Our stay was brilliant. Our hosts could not have been more helpful, friendly and accommodating, we were able to request sandwiches for our lunches. The property was very homely and clean. Loved the lounges and the breakfast room. The honesty bar was very unique and so nice to have as you did not feel you needed to stay out to have drink especially after a long day walking. Drying room facilities were excellent and well used as weather was very wet! Our breakfast was excellent too.

United KingdomThe lack of a seat in the room was unhelpful. There was no central light, and the bedside /table lights were barely suitable for reading by. You have to ask for handtowels, as they are not automatically supplied. Stupidly large key fob, that is so long you have to keep it in a bag, as sitting down with it in your trouser pocket is uncomfortable. Single bed was a bit lumpy.
Lovely position, some superb views, with large room in a well appointed hotel/guest house. The staff/owners were efficient polite, helpful, and attentive. Breakfast was well cooked and had good quality ingredients. There were libraries of books related to Lakeland walking etc, and also of modern fiction books available for guests. There is a very pleasant outdoor seating area at the rear, with outdoor bar serving drinks, and basic food (baked potatoes). The shower was very pleasant. There is a boot room for walkers. There is an indoor bar with fruit, chocolate bars, and crisps available 24/7 (you sign up if you buy out of hours).
