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 KingdomGreat location within a 5 min walk to Keswick town centre. B&B was clean and inviting. Good size room with Mountain View’s. Lovely nice touches with home made shortbread, coffee & fresh milk. Tasty breakfast with good choice of selection. Drying room available for guests and was much needed thanks to our British weather. Would stay here again.

United KingdomWe felt that although the room was spotless and the beds were super comfortable the room and bathroom were a little small. As I was with my sister it didn't spoil our stay at all but wouldn't stay in that room again - it was a twin and the only twin they have so we didn't have any choice but to stay in this room.
Fabulous location super clean lovely hosts who were very knowledgeable about the area. We were made very welcome from the minute we arrived. Breakfast was great too with quality products and great presentation. I would definitely stay there again however in a different room.

United KingdomScratched around for something to say here in case anyone thinks I’m a blind groupy (I could become an unblind one given time) and all I could come up was …. it would be useful to have a box of tissues in the rooms.
Lovely house with real attention to detail, scrupulously clean and comfortable and excellent breakfasts. But what makes this a stand-out place to stay are the Hosts, Liz & Chris. Most places are pleasant but you sort of know you are no more than a means to a living - Liz & Chris treat you like a real person. Their judgement is excellent on all those moment by moment responses - like where to be drawn in to a conversational opening and where to pull back to give privacy. They name each guest from the beginning and their care and interest is genuine. They unfussily go the extra mile. I will certainly be back when I need accommodation in Keswick.

Liz went out of her way to make sure that my lovely cooked breakfast was cooked separately to ensure no cross contamination, as someone with coeliac this was very much appreciated. The room was very cosy, comfortable and exceptionally clean.

I ordered sourdough with avocado, poached egg and bacon for breakfast. The sourdough was homemade and could not have been fresher. Attention to detail was excellent throughout our stay and our hosts could not have been more helpful. The free cake on a Saturday was delicious and the drying room was very helpful after wet days on the fells.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like.
Breakfast was your choice and booked the evening before which was brilliant. All cooked fresh and had home made biscuits in the room. I came on a solo trip to meet a friend and the single room was perfect for one and was nice and warm and bed very comfortable. The owners were really nice and welcoming and will book again and it so central and easy. I am looking forward to planning my next stay already
