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...).

AustraliaNo hair-dryer provided. No light blankets available for warmer nights. Also, parking is off-site.
The location was great, short walk to shops and restaurants. Good selection of cafes and restaurants all around Windemere. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels.

AustraliaA bit tricky sometimes to navigate Parking with luggage & bags either in the nearby parking space or in the streets nearby.
We loved our stay at Cosy Nook. The name is very appropriate as it was very comfortable and well decorated. Good supplies and very handy to Windermere. A really easy walk to town with a grocery shop close by. We loved the fact that we could open the windows and have fresh air come in as it was quite hot during our stay. This accommodation is very private and quiet. We had a wonderful peaceful stay here. Would definitely stay again if we ever come back to Windermere.

MaltaI understand that this is a business however the way the company runs the rental makes it very impersonal, systematic and rather cold. With a bit of effort and a more personal touch one can help make the experience more warm in keeping with a setting of an experience by the lakes.
The cosy home is lovely and fits in well with the surroundings. Location is great.

United KingdomIt could’ve been cleaner, the pots, pans and cutlery all needed cleaning before use. But, we are picky about these things and would naturally clean these items before use anyway.
Lovely cottage, spacious enough for 4 people for the weekend. 2 bathrooms is a big plus

United KingdomNo dislikes. However, the lights above the sofa in the lounge didn’t work so it was dim in the evenings. Also the vacuum only worked briefly even after a charge. A dustpan and brush would’ve been useful to clear up crumbs etc.
Great location and very cosy. Comfortable beds and clean. Perfect for our needs (2 adults and 2 children).

United KingdomThe the floor of the lounge and the kitchen was not clean it had not been properly swept or mopped for a long time. Insects and crumbs behind and in front of couch. We had to clean the vacuum cleaner as brush was full of hairs and did not suck up dirt.
The property was conveniently located. It was cosy and well serviced. Amenities were good.

CanadaLack of shampoo & conditioner in the toiletries (maybe not exactly the host’s fault but in North America I’m used to shampoo and conditioner included in toiletries); Coffee pods provided do not match the coffee machine but instant coffee pouches are provided (no big deal for me).
Good location; Safe neighbourhood; Proximity of safe off-property parking; New carton of semi-skimmed milk in fridge (the milk in the UK tastes better than what I’m using in Canada)!

IrelandNothing, if I had to complain about anything it would just be that we had to leave. The property is wonderful and a credit to the owners.
The location was amazing, we were about a minute walk from Windermere and all the little shops and restaurants/bars/cafes. The property itself was also fabulous, so clean and had all the amenities we could've wanted. Really pleased with it.

United KingdomWe were really lucky with parking and everyday we were able to park on the street immediately outside the property (April time). If you visit in higher season, I imagine that parking could be very limited.
Fantastic property. Very cozy down stairs (but plenty big enough for 3 or 4 people). Lovely and spacious upstairs. The rooms were much bigger than we expected. Its tucked away enough from the main high street in a lovely quite side road, yet only a 2 min walk to all the restaurants, shops etc. We had an issue with the TV and logging onto Netflix, yet after messaging the hosts, they very quickly remotely sorted it out.
