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 KingdomThe stairs are narrow and quite steep. As we had quite a lot of luggage it was a little bit of a chore. Unloading and loading is difficult as there is no parking so you have to block the road. Traffic isn’t heavy so it wasn’t a huge issue.
It was a lovely attic room, very centrally located with an open bath and shower area, large bed and well thought out furniture. The large smart television is well placed. The toilet and sink were in a separate room. All access was via digital pass number lock which was easy to use.

United KingdomThe curtain in the room easily falls off the rail it's attached to. I'm not sure I'd pay that price for it again. It’s a good-sized room, but the garden view wasn't quite as it's pitched in the photos, and the room size is smaller than I'd expect for a suite.
Location was perfect for an easy walk into the centre, from the car park and to the lake.

United KingdomOnly little thing I could complain about was sometimes the noise of the floor above or neighbouring pubs but completely out of the owners control and usually quiet around 11/12 o’clock so if your a late sleeper it wouldn’t make much difference
The location is so handy literally a two minute walk from the car park, pubs, restaurant and right down the road from the lake! The bed was so comfy and the bath in the corner of the room just added such a stunning touch to the room. Communication from the host is the best I’ve had they send an email out with the best bars, restaurants, walks and things to do in the area along with your room number and code making the stay in the area a little easier

United KingdomThe double shower was lovely and huge, the only thing I would improve on is something to stop the water from the shower making the bathroom floor so wet, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker, and maybe somewhere to put the towel to help them dry as the bathroom radiator isn't big enough for the 2 large towels.
The property is in an excellent location, right in the centre of Bowness. Parking in the Rayrigg car park is a 1 minute walk away. I would recommend parking in the top section of the car park to the left as you drive in, where there is a little cut to walk through into the lane and down the hill where the accommodation is on your right. I would also recommend paying on the App for parking and then putting in however many hours you need, as this is cheaper than paying for full 24 hour blocks. The accommodation was excellent, extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable and huge. Nice little touches of cotton pads etc. on the dressing table, a bottle of water left in the fridge, and soft music playing in the room from the radio as we arrived. There was a proper hairdryer (not one of those bathroom ones), an iron and a small ironing board. I can't fault it, would highly recommend and would definitely be my first choice to stay again. We loved it.

United KingdomNothing I didn't like, It was all really nice... if I had to pick something I'd say definitely needs one of those boot/shoe trays so the carpets don't get ruined, the lakes isn't exactly always dry so it'd be good to have somewhere to put wet or potentially muddy shoes. I would probably hesitate to stay here on a weekend in peak season, the Easy Breeze bar could potentially get a bit noisy (but I'm not sure) If you're wanting a quiet weekend away from the hustle and bustle then this might not be the place for you, but if you do want to be close to everything in bowness and don't mind a bit of atmospheric ambience from the outside world then you'll love it. It's not right on the main street, it's just behind it in a really nice location about 1 minute walk from the main bowness carpark and about a 2 minute walk to Costa/little Tesco/ fish & chip shop/ bakery etc. We didn't have any problems at all though, it was relatively quiet. We came mid week out of peak times and we loved our stay.
The room was really comfortable and relaxing, the decor was lovely (I really want to know what the paint colour was so I can use it in my own bedroom 😅) The bed was really comfy and the shower was amazing, legit could have stood in that shower for hours! The whole room felt really clean too. It was nice to have a little fridge in the room to keep drinks cool, and I really appreciated the little packs of gluten free vegan biscuits. I know not everyone likes the self check in thing but we really like it, the awkward introverted millennial in me much prefers to be left to my own devices than to be in a b&b or a hotel where I might have to interact with other humans. We'd definitely stay in this room again, probably the most comfortable overnight stays I've had. Also the lighting in the room was VERY neurospicy friendly, literally the most soothing lighting ever! Really enjoyed it, we'll definitely be back.
