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...).

United KingdomWe have not stayed at a guest house for a long time and usually stay in hotels but on this occasion we decided to stay at a B & B for our holiday. The Kenilworth was a great choice for us as the stay was very vomfortable. We stayed for 6 nights and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Our holiday was a great su cess thanks to the efforts that was made by those that ran the Kenilworth.

United KingdomWe had a lovely stay at this guest house. Andy is very kind and welcoming. When we arrived, he explained everything clearly, then gave us space to settle in which we really appreciated. There was a nice little welcome treat, gingerbread and lemon water, which was a lovely touch. The house is spotlessly clean (Monica clean! if you watch 'friend' series). We stayed in a room on the first floor with a view of Windermere. The bed was very comfortable, and a fan was provided, which was perfect for the summer. The room included a wardrobe, hair dryer, tea and coffee, and shower essentials everything we needed. The location is perfect: quiet, peaceful, and within walking distance to everything in town. I definitely recommend staying here!

Saudi Arabia1- The only small thing that made me slightly uncomfortable was being told they might enter the room 15 minutes after checkout time — it felt like there wasn’t much privacy, knowing they had spare keys. But aside from that, everything else was lovely and well taken care of. 2- The place is about a 20-minute walk from the lake.
Very, very clean. Friendly and helpful hosts. Everything I needed was available. Warm, generous, and welcoming atmosphere.

United KingdomLovely spot in Windermere just a short walk from the train station. Comfortable, clean rooms. The hosts were extremely friendly and gave us some excellent tips for things to do in the area. Several very good restaurants just down the road. The area is well connected by public transport, with frequent buses to locations throughout the Lake District.

AustraliaThe guesthouse is a convenient five-minute walk to the Windermere town centre, and a 20-minute or so stroll down to Bowness, where there is access to buses, train (Windermere) and ferries (Bowness). Andy and Tracey were lovely hosts, and I appreciated the local knowledge Andy shared as I was planning my sightseeing. I stayed in a single ensuite room which was comfortably appointed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, particularly after days wandering around the Lake District. Understandably, there is a no hot takeaway food allowed in the guest rooms, so you need to be prepared to eat out or pick up some cold items if you want to eat in your room. Similarly, there are no common spaces at the guesthouse, so you are either in your room or out and about. This wasn't a problem or draw back (particularly with all the things to see and places to eat around Windermere and Bowness), but I think its good to know if you are, like me, someone who doesn't necessarily factor in dining out all the time. I would happily stay here again and recommend the guesthouse to other travellers.
