Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomLack of parking on site ws a problem for disability but was manageable. Stairs could be an issue but if Vickie is aware she will try to arrange a ground floor suite, if available. Many of the properties within Bowness have similar challenges.
Vickie was an excellent host. We realised shortly before going that parking was on a public car.park. As one of us is disabled, Vickie expained that we could cancel and if there was a problem to get back in touch with her. As it is we decided to continue with the booking. Vickir explained that we coud unload at the door and that parking was a very short walk away. She also arranged a parking permit for us. Vickie also offered her private garden as secure parking for the mobility scooter, although it turned out not to be quite suitable and we found an alternative. The suite was a double size room and it was nice to have so much space. It is very central to Bowness. Literally a few minutes walk from cafes, shops etc.

United KingdomThe stay at Bowness Bay Suite was a great experience. Its location is in the middle of the town, very close to the pier and literally every restaurant and bar in Bowness. The room is very nice. And the owner had been very kind and helpful. We really appreciate her kindly offering us a free lift when we couldn’t get a taxi for the restaurant we booked. Definitely recommended!

United KingdomUnfortunately we didn’t stay all 3 nights as the bed was so uncomfortable and my husband ended up getting on the sofa, so decided to go home after the 2nd night, we did report this to the manager and she was brilliant about it, they did get the mattress changed to a new one later that evening, and said would refund us the night we didn’t stay which is very kind of them, we will definitely be back now, seeing that they took action into what we said.
The suit was beautiful and such a great location, the team there was really nice and friendly and helped with parking and what to do,
