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 KingdomThis cottage is a beautiful spot. Has everything you need for a perfect weekend away, coffee machine, a good grill for the bacon, comfy bed, powerful shower & Bluetooth speaker. Very pet friendly, even a little dog bed, towel and bowl which was a lovely touch. We stayed in on the Saturday night, cosy living room watching a film and plenty of glasses. Location wise, couldn't ask for better. A stone throw away from the lovely pubs, but hidden away in a courtyard so super quiet. Fantastic beer gardens near by, beautiful food and an ale bar. The nearby walks are beautiful, we did a local walk through the woods and along the river. On our second day we walked up Cautley Waterfall. I 100% will be back again!

United KingdomTake care going up and down the small spiral staircase in a rush.. But that was easily manageable.
The location in Sedbergh is an excellent place to base trips to Lake District or Yorkshire Dales. Very dog friendly, which was a must for us.

United KingdomThe property is well located and is a beautiful little home from home. We really enjoyed the tranquility of a few nights away here and have already recommended it to friends and family. It’s a clean, comfortable space and there are lovely little extras such as shampoo and body wash in case you’ve forgotten and some basic food things stocked in the cupboards. The village is quiet but has lots of great pubs. We enjoyed the Dalesman for good food and drinks; the thirsty rambler is a great spot for a drink or too as well! Would definitely recommend for a couples getaway!

United KingdomNothing whatsoever for us to dislike. Spiral staircase could cause problems for fatties or those with access issues.
Superbly convenient central village location, but was very quiet and privately located. The property is very well decorated and furnished giving a traditional country cottage feel, while also having all the mod cons at your disposal.
