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 KingdomIf you need reliable interent this is probably the major downside. Max speed is about 10Mbps but this seems to be a shared connection so in the evening speeds plummet to new dial up levels (100-500kbps). This unfortunately meant we couldn't really take advantage of the smart TV in the evenings which was a real shame as we had planned on watching some films on Netflix. Phone signal is also spotty on both mine and my partners networks (Vodafone and EE). If this is not something you need in a stay then please ignore but for us it definitely knocked a point or so off the experience.
Location is great. Easy access to Ambleside and Windermere. Parking right out front of the lodge. The holiday park has a shop and other facilities on site. The living area is very nice and the kitchen is has pretty much everything you need. Communication with the owner was very good and the security deposit was returned promptly after the stay.

United KingdomThe staff at reception weren’t the most helpful. We only had to deal with them about using the swimming pool and lots of miscommunication. Nothing to do with the booking or property itself though, everything there was amazing!
Absolutely fab place to go. Property is really well stocked and even had a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival. Will definitely be back again!

United KingdomLack of outdoor lighting when dark, there is a bit of a step up from where you park the car to gain access to the lodge. When we arrived, hubby tripped on raised area and fell.
Lovely Spacious lodge with a great plot. Plenty of cooking utensils, complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. Decor throughout was nice and we loved the fleecy blankets.

United KingdomIt’s not that we didn’t like it, we just didn’t use the en-suite shower enclosure as we found the shower in the main bathroom (over the bath) much roomier. We found the lodge a little cooler in the afternoons (it was the end of October obviously!) but used the throws to get cosy on the settee and watch the tv, I think heating was on a timer but we didn’t ask the host about altering it. It didn’t spoil our stay at all.
Tiggywinkle Beck Lodge was perfect! We had the best time. It was well-equipped, it had much more than I was expecting (hand wash in both bathrooms, washing up liquid, tea towel, kitchen roll, tin foil etc) so we didn’t even need a full bag of stuff that we’d brought with us! Fridge, freezer, microwave, oven, hob etc, there was even an iron & ironing board in the magic cupboard AND a hoover! Very cosy, the throws were amazing and furniture very comfortable. We all had good nights’ sleep, the duvets were so nice! The lodge is in a perfect location, just wish we’d got to use the decking area but the weather had other plans (not a surprise in October/November). Julie was always at the end of the phone if needed, very good communication from the point of us booking to when we left. Would love to come back!

United KingdomBeing charged an unknown amount for dogs after the booking was paid for. £35 extra cleaning charge seemed excessive considering we cleaned the lodge prior to leaving (wife is a cleaner of high end properties in Devon). Shower door in ensuite was broken & section wouldn't close properly....very small shower enclosure. Finding a notice stating gas/electricity would be charged for excessive use; left us feeling slightly uneasy as the lodge wasn't particularly warm without the heating on.
Excellent location & very peaceful. Accomodation was pleasant, clean & comfortable base for our needs.

United KingdomOne door on the en-suite corner shower was difficult to open/close. Some stains on wall in the en-suite above the door (assume this is due to condensation). These issues didn’t affect our stay at all though.
Lodge was super clean and in a private location on the park. Private parking next to lodge made things easy. Beds were very comfortable with good quality linen etc. Kitchen was really well equipped. Communication with the owner was excellent.
