How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe owners were friendly and welcoming, helpful with advice on local transport. My room was clean, the bed was comfortable, there was a kettle for making hot drinks and a television. The bathroom had everything I needed; soap, body cream. a shower cap and gel with shampoo and conditioner. It was lovely to have a sitting room upstairs where I could relax, try some of the homemade cake. There was a good variety of things to eat for breakfast which was delicious. It was lovely to get to know some of the people staying there.

Verified reviewSunnyside was very comfortable, clean and had everything I needed..a great selection of toiletries/shower/body products, make up cloth, shower cap and even slippers and a robe..which I appreciated alot as a solo traveller and hiker. I was even able to borrow a trekking pole. Breakfast was delicious and had really great options. And I enjoyed a local beer from the honesty bar as a treat! When I arrived I was first greeted by one of their 2 cats, which I was very happy about, and the owners are really friendly and helpful 😊
The bedroom doors can be quite loud when people push/pull them closed. I only found this an issue though when people get back to their rooms late though.

Verified reviewThe breakfasts were amazing! So much to choose from & cooked perfectly by Paul & served by Nicky The evening meal I had was delicious & as a solo traveller a bonus rather than wander around looking for somewhere you think you could walk into. Having parking spaces over the front of the property is a definite bonus & being able to park prior to check in if there is a space & leave car for an hour or so after check out.
There was nothing I didn’t like about my stay except it would have been great to be able to stay longer than the week I booked.

Verified reviewWhat a fabulous property! Such a gem in Keswick. It was very clean, the owners were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough to ensure you enjoyed your stay. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I’ll definitely be back. It was the little details that really made it special. A mini fridge in the room for your fresh milk, mint cake for the long walks, communal space with an honesty box for drinks and cake as well as a very needed tower cooling fan for the hot weather. Honestly, it was just such a treat to stay here.
I can’t find any fault with this property.

Wifi is very patchy, and car park is very small, but nothing you can do about it so not too bothered.
Thank you so much for staying with us at Sunnyside and thank you for your wonderful review. We agree, the car park is small and it can be awkward to enter and leave but hopefully this will be resolved soon... We apologies so much for the poor wifi during your stay, it was awful. Our router had an update and left us with many problems. This has now resolved and reliable, high speed internet is back. Thanks again and we hope to welcome you back to Sunnyside in the future
