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 KingdomThat we couldn’t stay longer! Our 2 night stay was beyond amazing!
We don’t have enough good things to say about our stay at The Lonsdale! If you want to be treated like royalty and have hosts who go above and beyond in many ways, this property will not disappoint. From homemade biscuits in room to serving breakfast suited and booted, holding out the chair for you, Stephen and Carl are absolute diamonds and their hotel is exceptional!

SpainThere is absolutely nothing to dislike about this establishment. It is run with lots of love and care. Stephen and Karl really love this place and everyone who walks through their door are looked after. Can’t wait to return.
Wow factor. Amazing. Beautiful Victorian decor. Our Room was of same style. Tea and coffee facilities with a nice touch of home made biscuits.. small Fridge in room with fresh milk in it. Very comfortable and made to feel really welcome. En-suite bathroom which was nicely tiled and fitting in with the decorative theme. Stephen served our wonderful full breakfast cooked by Karl, on a nicely laid table. Felt like we were in the Ritz. Arrived as a guest and left as a friend.

Fantastic hosts! Immaculate bedroom and bathroom. Excellent full English breakfast. Loved the home made biscuits Carl! What a joy to watch and listen to Steve playing the baby grand piano. This is the best guest house we have ever stayed in. You can walk from Blackpool North station to the guest house in 5 mins. The North pier is also very close by.

We loved everything about 'The Lonsdale'. From the warm welcome to the relaxing atmosphere, exceptional attention to detail, truly faultless. Stephen and Karl are the 'creme de la creme' of hosts, with exquisite taste. Breakfast was the highlight of our day, fantastic fruit salad and choices of cereal. Perfectly cooked English breakfast, served with flair by Stephen.

Absolutely stunning! When we arrived it was like stepping into Downton Abbey. The interior is perfect for anyone who appreciates vintage decor! 5* service from the hosts; delicious vegetarian breakfast, beautifully decorated room and a rdiculously comfortable bed. The complimentary homemade shortbread biscuits in our room every day were the icing on a very well made cake! Carl & Stephen evidently love doing what they do and it was a pleasure to stay in their beautiful bnb.
