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...).

We were self catering so we did not have breakfast with them. Lovely, quiet, everything we needed was already there. Would definately return and recommend to family and friends.

United KingdomThe only thing that could be improved was the cooking facilities. The hot plates were hard to cook with as they lacked power and took ages to heat.
A very cosy stay. Amazing and welcoming guests (with fantastic baking skills!) The accommodation was roomy and spotless. We had everything we needed and it is situated in a superb location! The eco element and all the locally sourced products was an extra special touch! There was plenty of information provided about the local area and things to do! There is ample parking and a stunning outdoor area with plenty of seating surrounded by beautiful plants and decoration. The property itself is easily accessible whilst still being off the main road, making it very quiet and peaceful!

LithuaniaThe Nook was very cozy with a lovely private garden. It had everything you might need. The location was perfect - just a little walk to the Windermere centre or the lake. We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave!

We were provided with everything you could need (utilities, kitchen utensils etc) as well as warm home baked muffins on arrival. The location is perfect for visiting Windermere. It took us 5minutes on the bus or a 10/15min walk to get to Windermere or down to the water in Bowness. The gentleman who greater us on arrival gave us a walm welcome and recommended loads of brilliant places to visit - our favourite was “Hole in t’ Wall” in Bowness (a lovely cosy pub est. 1612). From the property we could easily get buses to all corners of the Lakes and/or Ferries up to Ambelside, which is a beautiful little village. We will absolutely be coming back in the future.

United KingdomHonestly, there was nothing we didn't like. Everything was fantastic—from the warm hospitality to the perfect location. It was a flawless stay, and we can't wait to return!
Our stay at Windermere and Ambleside for my partner's birthday was truly exceptional. Andrew and Abigail were delightful hosts—warm, welcoming, and thoughtful. The homemade muffins, courtesy of Abigail, were a delicious and personal touch. The location was perfect, with everything within walking distance, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and look forward to returning.

AustraliaNothing. It was perfect and had everything you needed. “The Nook” was a home away from home.
From the moment we arrived and met Andrew and Abigail to the time we left was amazing. We booked “The Nook” and it was so spacious, immaculately clean and so beautifully decorated. The homemade muffins and fresh milk were a lovely touch. Andrew was amazing with the booking when I kept changing things as a first time traveller and was so accommodating and helpful through the whole process. So close to Windermere and Bowness so didn’t need the car. If ever we are back in the UK we will definitely stay here. Thankyou Andrew and Abigail.

United KingdomCreaky floors in property and also upstairs creaky. As a 6ft 4 man, the frame of the bottom of the bed was uncomfortble, my feet were overhanging and quite often banged feet against the frame in the night.
Property was clean, modern, and cosy. Good location for town and Windermere.
