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.).

AustraliaWill be even better when the grass at the back is established in a couple of weeks and the back garden is accessible.too.
The Annex has been very thoughtfully built and furnished with good quality generous choices and uses the space perfectly. The host also provided many little extra touches like a coffee machine, slippers/dressing gown, and sweet goodies. She was easy to find and very helpful and welcoming of any queries.. A great value little place.

United KingdomNeatness and good use of space. Well equipped. Especially appreciated the cafetiere and real coffee. Needed to ask for help with TV as I couldn't work out how to use it. Once garden is done it will be super. Dogs could have got out down the side so I stayed out with them.

United KingdomYour self-catering is likely to be a bit limited. There is a microwave but no conventional oven. There is a plug-in hob stored under the worktop and this works well but there isn't a lot of worktop space. Other things like toaster and coffee-making machine are there so you should be able to enjoy a decent breakfast. For an evening meal try the Outfitters (see above).
Very comfortable, quiet, clean and a good location close to both Brough and Kirkby Stephen. The wet room is excellent -well heated and plenty of room. On the Friday evening we ended up eating at the Outfitters Cafe Bar in Brough. We weren't sure what to expect but it was excellent - quirky, friendly, simple but nicely cooked food (a variety of burgers for the main course) and homemade deserts and all at a very reasonable price. A great place to stay for one or two nights.

Absolutely perfect for our night's stay whilst we visited our son in the area. We will definitely return to this property, would highly recommend. Jilly met us on arrival offering us a torch for the lock box to obtain the keys to the annexe. Plenty of room for our dog within the accommodation .

United KingdomFor a longer stay - a stove top would be necessary for me [apols if I missed one!] A comfortable armchair would be good
This was a small studio apartment which was designed with great flare and to my taste. We found the bed and bedding very comfortable and slept well. We enjoyed coffee using the machine in the morning. The wet room is lovely and has underfloor heating. The host was v helpful when we were warned that A66 was closed whilst travelling down from Scotland on M6 during storm Dara. Thank you for telling us that it was only closed after your turn off, we were late and did not want to drive more than necessary.
