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 water taps in the bathroom, even the ones we use for showering, are old and need to be replaced. The heating in the bathroom also doesn't work.
The hotel's location is excellent, just four minutes from the train station, making it a preferred choice for those with travel bags.

New ZealandOne of the ensuite bathrooms was a bit pokey and small but not a biggie!
Ruth provided clear and easy check-in instructions, the rooms were as advertised and the beds were very comfortable! It was also nice having smart TVs in each of the rooms so we could connect our accounts for some movies in the evenings.

United KingdomUnfortunately our bathroom light didn’t work so we was in darkness in there. The shower is also really poor, not sure if they’re trying to preserve water but no pressure at all and very small shower head. Hallways going up to the room could do with a quick refresh. The mattress is also very firm, didn’t sleep the best, but I guess that personal preference and luckily there was a fan as the room was roasting.
Cozy guest house in a good location, friendly owner.

United Kingdom4 slats on the wooden bed were snapped in half underneath which made us vary wary of movement on there. 2 of the broken bits were at the edges where you naturally sit when first getting up. Mattress was uncomfortable with thick springs that pinged every time you moved. We couldn't open the window more than a centimetre as it wouldn't stay open it just fell back closed. No WiFi code accessible on arrival, we messaged the hosts and they didn't reply until 24 hours later (we only stayed 3 nights) It stated we had access to streaming channels ie netflix but there were that many profiles still on there that we couldn't add another , it said the maximum 20 profiles had been added.
Was very close to the train station, about a 35 min walk to the lake which is really nice if the weather is nice. Lovely quiet area

NetherlandsThe stay feels quite impersonal as you don't meet the owners (though they did respond to messages quickly and helpfully). The ensuite toilet/shower was very small, and the bed was too soft for me.
Very convenient location, easy arrival, clean room, plenty of plug sockets, warm shower with good water pressure. Overall fine if you're just looking for a no-frills place to crash after some good hikes.

United KingdomStrange humming noise late at night and inconvenience of having to find a parking space. This was because the house was on a street where you couldn't park so owners gave drivers places to park further down into Windermere. I parked in booths supermarket for half an hour used their shop, walked over to house which was nearby and unloaded my bags first. Then went back to park at free parking in broad street.
Near to booths supermarket and buses
