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 KingdomIt’s on quite a steep hill, but that can’t be helped.
It’s only a few minutes walk from lake Windermere and the shops restaurants etc, and it has parking which is a bonus.

United KingdomHonestly, nothing!
The Hazeldene Guest House-with Free Offsite Health Club, is a great place to stay. It is so close to the centre of Windermere and for exploring further a field, with excellent transport links. Hazeldene guest House is very clean and has everything the hosts Chris & Victoria can think of to give guests an enjoyable stay. They go above and beyond .The breakfast was very yummy. Hazeldene has its own carpark, which is a bonus. We saved a fortune on parking.The room was lovely, clean and bright, with an en-suite. We would definitely stay again.

United KingdomOnly downside of b &b was you would step straight onto the road as you step of the steps so you have to be careful but we are adults and know how to watch our step.
The owners were really friendly, couldn't do enough for you Husband let slip it was going to be my birthday on 4th August and that our anniversary was on the 1st when we got back to our room on the Friday and found a tray with bubbly and fruit and chica on the bed Breakfast was basic not these posh stuff the full English was lovely, done the way you would like it. They also cater for dietary needs as well but have to say in advance and also on the day They have off street parking as well so that is fab. All the shops and lake are just down the road about 5 to 10 min walk down the hill. Only down side to that is the walk back up Room was clean and tidy it had all the things you would need, iron and board fan for if you were hot teas ,coffees ,cups ,glasses Lovely fluffy towel . They also had bath house produces for when you wash your hands and have a shower. These are not cheap,cos I went and bought some for home.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay this weekend! Chris and Vicky were truly exceptional hosts — so kind, welcoming, and genuinely lovely people. The room was beautiful and the bed incredibly comfortable, making for a restful and cozy night’s sleep. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location is fantastic, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

SingaporeNothing to complain about
Hosts were great - friendly, helpful, and even forwarded the toothbrush charger we left in our room. Good breakfast freshly cooked, with choice of cereals, fruit, and yoghurt. Short walk in to either bowness or windermere, and the parking was a life saver (there limited parking in bowness and windermere villages)
