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.).

IsraelLiz and Chris were super friendly, welcoming and gave us a lot of information about the area and things to do The guest house is in a great location - 5 minutes walk from the center of Windermere. BREAKFAST WAS EXCEPTIONAL. Not only was the selection incredibly diverse and delicious, but the presentation was beautiful. The room beautifully furnished, with a very comfortable bed, making it a joy to relax and unwind in the end of day. The attention to detail in the room’s decor added to the overall cozy feel of the room and the guest house.

United KingdomWe stayed in a Twin room and although comfortable was very small. This being so, there was no space for anywhere to keep your clothes. If you travel light this room is ideal.
The beds were very comfortable and the area was extremely quiet at night. Liz and Chris are very welcoming and obliging and the food that Chris produced was delicious.

Everything. Rooms were spacious,beds very comfortable and the hosts were very welcoming and helpful in giving us information about things to see olin the area. Even called us while we were on the way to let us know the room would be ready on arrival. They were happy to suggest healthy options for breakfast which would be cooked fresh each morning. Although the property only has 1 off-road parking space you could always find a space nearby on the adjacent street no matter what time you came back. 10/10 all round!

United KingdomThe location of Rocklea to both Windemere and Bowness was very good. Parking on the street was easy. Our room was comfortable and clean with a view onto a small burn. Listening to the water at night was nice. The added benefit of a small fridge in our room, with fresh milk and water was great. Breakfast was varied and the pancakes with fruit were amazing. Liz and Chris our hosts were very friendly and welcoming, who gave lots of great advice to us.

United KingdomLiz and Chris were very welcoming hosts and met all of our needs. They were very eager to help wherever they could and they were great people to talk to as well. The Buttermere room we stayed in was comfortable and nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the quality was consistent every single morning. We had a wide variety of options to choose from for both food and drinks and the dining room was a very nice place to sit in. All in all, our first trip to Windermere was fantastic and we will definitely be returning. Thanks, Callum and Cheryl
