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.).

United KingdomThe bathroom was rather dark due to the choice of bulbs. I needed my iphone torch to see the shower controls! The TV / Freesat tuner installation all worked (if you knew how to use it!) but there was no quick guide on how to operate - so the less technically minded guest would not have been able to get it going.
The room itself was lovely. Lovely leafy view out of the window, and very homely. It was bright, clean and fairly large. And quiet too. The non-staffed arrangements with keycodes via SMS text was hassle-free and all worked very well. Good kettle, which is a big plus!! Fabulous shower with large modern tray.

United KingdomWindermere and Bowness were very busy making it difficult to park and get about. The fridge in the room didn't work, and a replacement wasn't available, which was inconvenient.
Nicely decorated and very clean. Half way between Windermere and Bowness.

United KingdomSelf check in - no one to greet you and explain things regarding the property although an email is sent out. We ended up being the customer service when other guests arrived as they were as confused as we first were on arrival . And we called the accommodation manager when other guests had wrong key code or no keys at all. Not really our job but guests thought we worked there and asked for our help! The email system clearly does not work.
Fairly good location, rooms were nice and cleaning staff were friendly and very helpful.

United KingdomParking outside the hotel is limited, though apprently on road parking nearby isn't difficult.
Easy to find in Windermere itself. We didn't actually see anyone in the hotel. Arrangements were by phone. We chose a smaller room, but it was fine for our overnight stay, though up several flights of stairs. Comfortable and very clean. We appreciated the opportunity to use the local pool after a long drive. Breakfast was great, provided in a hotel 2 doors up the road. All in all great for our short stay.

United KingdomRoom was very well presented and clean, I loved the whole self check in process as it was simple and easy to follow also nice that if you needed anything someone was always just a phone call away. Parking on site was not an issue too. I did not have time to use the heath club as I chose to wonder near the lake most of the time so can’t say anything about that! Just wish I went ahaha

IsraelThere was no one to greet us or help us when we checked out. I missed the human touch. The bed wasn't that comfy . We came by train, so we didn't get to the gym nor did we have a car to store our luggage on the last day. The info about storage came too late. It's a great place if you have a secret "rende vous" and you want to slip in and out unnoticed. Maybe this is what it meant by adults only.
The British country style charm. The room decor and bathroom. The sound of the river and nature. The self check in was OK.

United KingdomWe were in room 7 at the top of the building. Guest house is in a great location with parking. The room was dated but value for money. The bed was low so if you have mobility problems you may need to request another room. Although we didn't get around to using the access to the health spa/club it makes the cost value for money. Breakfast wasn't on site, but only a couple of doors away at a sister guest house. The breakfast was very good. Communications from Ian were great and he was really helpful. We would definitely recommend this guest house and will stay again.
