Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomDifficult to find anything really. It was a very warm apartment and we couldn't work out how to turn the heating down 🤦...we could have asked but to be honest we left early mornings and we're home late evenings and didn't want to disturb anyone so we opened the bedroom window which worked well.
A lovely, Immaculately clean apartment. Well equipped and all the little extras were very much appreciated, thank you! Bed was comfortable and we loved the electric lazy boy sofa which was so comfy and much needed after a few days of walking and climbing.

United KingdomNothing. Everything was amazing
I can't say thanks enough to the host. They were just amazing and really helpful with us. Even they manage to accommodate us 2 more night on another apartment. We stayed on the Methera and the whole apartment was really cosy and well distributed for 2 people. Really comfy beds for a great sleep. I will use this over and over again on all my stays in St Bees without doubt. 100% recommened.

United KingdomUnfortunately we could hear the visitors in the adjacent apartment and they were quite loud and let their door slam a lot, including early in the morning - not the fault of the place though.
We stayed here as a base for the west of the Lake District and to visit the area on the coast. There isn't much in St Bees (though you can walk to the beach and into the RSPB coastal area) but you are 10 mins from Whitehaven or other areas. The apartment we stayed in was modern, with a large TV and sofa in the living area, kitchen with oven and dishwasher, and TV again opposite the double bed. The bathroom was modern also. Everything was clean and tidy. WiFi was strong and allowed streaming. We ate at the Queen's Hotel one evening, which is very close - they do great food and we also took part in the pub quiz. The apartment is metres from the platform of St Bees train station, but we didn't notice the trains much or hear them, including early in the morning.

United KingdomOnly thing we didnt like was having to leave and go home!
Beautiful, relaxing and comfortable self contained accommodation in the heart of St Bees. Very well furnished, very comfortable bed and spacious kitchen area. 10mins walk to the beach, which has a lovely stretch for walking the dogs, or 20 min drive to the lake district. Within a few minutes walking distance of local amenities, at least 4 welcoming pubs, small shop & post office and a very useful train station. Fabulous place to explore the coast and the lakes.

United KingdomDidn’t realise shared entry point when booked. Also lights in bathroom on timer so lights went off when having a shower. Could do with being on longer so don’t have to open shower door to wave arms to make lights come back on.
Good location near station, shop and pubs. Also 15 mins walk to the beach.

United KingdomIt wasn't very clear how we were supposed to check in. The email I received had a 'pin' code which I assumed meant there would be a lock that we had to collect the keys from, however in the email itself it also stated to 'collect the keys from B&B'. When we arrived, I went to the B&B but the door was locked and I tried calling the 2 phone numbers provided in my welcome email but they didn't pick up. So check in was a bit stressful and could have been clearer in the welcome email, but was fine in the end as we actually bumped into the host and they kindly explained that the door was unlocked. Also, heating in the room was strange - it might be underfloor heating but there were no radiators (except one in the bathroom) to be seen. When it was really cold we couldn't turn up the heating, and it seemed like the heating was automatically set to certain times. So when the heating was on, it was really hot!
The location was good and quite close to the sea so it was easy to go for a walk. Room was nice and clean, with a TV and kitchen. Bed was really comfy which is always a bonus.
