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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

The welcome by Keith & Deb was wonderfully warm and friendly. When we told them I was attempting the ‘Frog Graham Round’ that night, they couldn’t have done more to support us. The property was very clean and fresh with beautiful rooms; the tea and coffee - biscuits, linen - all first class!

Isle of ManNothing at all. Wish our stay was longer!
Everything! Spotlessly clean. Lovely decor. Treats in the room and bottled water provided each day. Fruit, yogurt and cereal on offer at breakfast time and of course a full English breakfast, with fried bread cut into different animal shapes each day! 😁 Location was excellent and there is parking at the back too. Our room ( the only one at present) had wallpaper on the back wall that was a map of the Lake District!!

Location perfect very quiet but only 5 minutes walk to shops, restaurants etc. Hosts Deb and Keith were lovely and very attentive with nothing being too much trouble. Also very helpful advice on local amenities and places to visit. The whole property was immaculately clean and the breakfast was delicious with cereals, plenty of fresh fruit and a superb full English made with top quality products. The only downside was we only stayed for 2 nights. We will definitely visit again in the near future and stay longer.

Our host Deb and her husband are such wonderful people, they treat their guests with all their kindness and respect. They are always very helpful and supportive at very detailed levels. The breakfast is the best among all the BnBs we had stayed. There are surprisingly variety of fruits served and freshly cooked breakfast. The house is located very close to the town center. The room is very clean comfortable even though it is on a little smaller size but good enough for two people.

United KingdomThe bed could have been more comfortable, a bit soft/springy.
Dunsford Guest House is a lovely stay in a great location but what made it truly special were the hosts. They were super nice and extremely accommodating, my friend and I came to Keswick for a trail run and they offered to make us porridge instead of the traditional breakfast! Overall, would recommend staying here.
