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 KingdomHaving to leave whilst wanting more.
We were made so welcome by the lady who runs the place. Made us feel like we were regular guests. The breakfast is really good with an excellent choice of good wholesome food. Our room was well appointed, very cosy and tastefully decorated. The bathroom sparkled with cleanliness. Although we didn't need the heating on it is obvious that it would be toasty in winter. The location is perfect for a nice walk into Windermere where there is a good choice of bars, restaurants and some shops. Bowness is either a moderate walk or a short bus ride. The car park is spacious and well laid out. We will certainly visit again.

United KingdomNo complaints whatsoever about the property, staff, etc. However, the information on Booking.com is in need of updating. Leaving aside the out of date Covid instructions, the info relating to check in is slightly different on Booking.com than on its own site, where check in is advertised as from 11am. But this is a minor observation on another wise great few days.
The staff were absolutely first class and the location perfect. The breakfast was also excellent. Also, there is ample parking which, unlike most hotels now, is not charged for separately. All in all an excellent experience.

Everything! Wonderful location, lovely and quiet but a 5 minute walk into Windermere. Fabulous staff - friendly and helpful. Super comfy bed and a great shower. The breakfast was so good- one of the best we’ve had anywhere. The daily homemade cakes were delicious too. We have always stayed in Bowness but we are converted and would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much for a wonderful relaxing break.

United KingdomThe wifi isn't great, to the point where I used my phone as a Hotspot for the TV in the room. By no means a huge issue but when we wanted to watch TV/a movie in the evening before bed things weren't really loading on the hotel wifi.
Really good service, all staff were super friendly. The fresh cake each day was fantastic. Breakfast was also very good.

The bedroom was very comfortable and the bed was as comfy as our bed at home. The breakfast was delicious and it was all too easy to eat far too much! Spoilt for choice and it was all tempting. Special treat was a choice of homemade cakes every day.

United KingdomThe stay at the Hideaway completely met our expectations.
Excellent breakfast, cooked perfectly on both mornings. Great choice and generous portions. The cake of the day is a lovely gesture. Located a short walk from the centre of Windermere Town, where there are shops, restaurants and bars. Free maps were in our room, along with an excellent guest information guide, highlighting local restaurants etc. The WIFI was great.

United KingdomLovely full English breakfast and cereal with vegetarian choice. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were friendly. Hotel was close to town centre, but a little way down a lane, so nice and quiet. Just 1 mile from lake ferries, which was a nice walk. A free home made slice of cake every day was a nice touch.
