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.).

Netherlands(not a problem for us) Be aware that the location is beautiful but a bit isolated. The closest (bigger) supermarket is around 30 minutes away and takes a narrow road to drive down (and up again). Best to combine groceries with day trips
A beautiful house, clean and spacious with everything in order. The location offers very nice views and is a quiet one. Downstairs there is a room with 2 single beds and a small bathroom with a shower and toilet. Upstairs there is a room with a double bed and a room with 2 single beds. There is also a bathroom with bath and toilet. The house was absolutely fine with 5 persons (2 adults 3 children). We would definitely book again.

A perfect secluded place to stay. Brilliant place to destress. Quiet peaceful and homely. Excellent in every way. In easy reach of major Lake District attractions and other not so well known. Accomodation is set in stunning countryside. A real joy.

United KingdomThe roads leading the cottage were a bit bumpy as they ascended uphill, but you quickly adapt after driving around the area a few times. The owner was thoughtful and repaired the potholes on the farm while we were there. Personally, we weren’t bothered by the road conditions since we were driving an older car.
I had an incredible experience in this absolutely beautiful and tranquil location. The cottage was stunning, and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was exceptionally kind and welcoming. This was undoubtedly the best holiday we've ever had myself and my partner. The cottage was beautifully decorated and felt like home. We enjoyed a truly magical experience, especially with the wild horses roaming nearby in the mountains; one even approached us at night, allowing me to pet it while it grazed next to our car. It was a surreal moment that we will always cherish. I fell in love with this place instantly and I will be returning again very soon.

United KingdomThe road leading up to it was full of potholes. Not the easiest of drives in our little Fiat. We did get used to it though and it wasn't a major problem.
Lovely converted barn. One of three properties. Surrounded by beautiful views. Very clean with everything you could need.

United KingdomNothing to comment on. Claire and Jean have thought of it all.
The location is absolutely stunning and you really do feel like you have stumbled across a secret. Yes the roads are narrow and slightly bumpy but you are in the Lake District and it has managed to retain its natural beauty. Do expect live stock to be roaming and living their best life without being hurried. We stayed in two of the cottages, they are luxurious with heavenly views. Jean and Claire have been great hosts. We have been home 4 days and already booked to return next year. There is so much to do and see from these farm cottages that I will be recommending them to everyone I know.

United KingdomWe booked two holiday cottages; one for a single adult and one for four adults. Everyone was delighted with everything. The cottages are comfortable, clean and offer all the facilities you could wish for. Jean and Claire who run the farm and the cottages are wonderful hosts. The location is superb if you like beautiful scenery, a bit of isolation from everyday life and the challenge of driving over the fells and up a long farm track to get there.

United KingdomThe 1/4 mile drive is a bit rough and it's wise not to rush up and down it, but select a path of least pot holes. This can be done.
Lovely quiet location. Good for exploring the southern lakes and other attractions in the area. A couple of walks from the farm included in the information pack, including one down to Broughton in Furness with it's lovely square. There is a shared lawn to the back of the property with plenty of benches. Jean and Claire helped us out when we realised we had not packed some items, for which we were very grateful.
