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.).

We had a fabulous stay in this gorgeous cottage! If I could have stayed longer I would have. Truly feels like home from home and that’s all down to an amazing host. I’ve stayed in the sister property next door and that was equally just as perfect. Beautifully decorated, super clean and the attention to detail makes for such a memorable stay. Coming to the lakes a few times a year, nothing compares to the properties this host provides.

Beautiful property with everything we needed for our stay, We immediately felt at home. Fantastic location for both Bowness and Windermere or further afield to explore. The little touches such as the packet of Haribo on the kids beds upon arrival or the little dog box and dog treats made it feel extra special. Would absolutely recommend and return to this property

United KingdomThe parking situation wasn't great. Once we moved the car, we didn't get a space near the cottage again after that. The host did offer, on arrival the option of another location but we managed to get parked on the hill and didn't really need to move the car after that.
The cottage was beautiful. Clean & smelled so nice on arrival. Host thought of everything. The shower & bath were brilliant. The beds really well presented & very comfortable.

United StatesWe had some trouble parking when we first arrived (it can be tricky to find a spot if you arrive late in the evening). However, Claire was able to help us park at a nearby spot, so problem solved.
Excellent location, clean, and comfortable. The house had many little details that made it special. The rooms were cozy, the bathroom was new and very nice, the kitchen had all we needed, and there were several food items to get us started (coffee pods, milk, chocolate, sweets). Great location from which to walk around Bowness-on-Windermere. Highly recommended for families.

United KingdomThe Sky reception was a bit hit and miss but that could have been down to the weather. Apart from that everything was spot on.
The cottage was very centrally located within a 10 minute walk to the lake. There was a bus stop at the top of the street if you wanted to go further afield. The cottage was immaculate with modern touches which did not take away it's charm. You can't be on a diet in this cottage as you have a big bar of chocolate and a pack of chocolate chip cookies awaiting your arrival!! I would definitely recommend Pottery Gate for a break in Bowness-On-Windermere.

This is just a perfect little cottage right in the heart of Bowness, it had everything we needed and was a lovely place to come back to at the end of the day and relax. The communication from the host prior to our visit was great and was very accommodating, providing a cot for my baby and a box of goodies for our two dogs.
