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 StatesI did not like that you couldn’t start breakfast until 830 am as my tours started at 9:00 so essentially you had to eat in 5 minutes. No fun rushing through a meal. Also other than the traditional English breakfast, you couldn’t choose more than one main course…and that might be eggs…without toast. I was hungry and was unfulfilled most breakfasts.
Beautiful grounds, lovely room, close to train station, food gd.

United KingdomOnly negative was that the bed/ mattress was a little bit uncomfortable and the duvet was a winter duvet so it was quite heavy and too hot for the summer. However, could easily sleep on top of the duvet
Property was very clean, staff/owners were lovely and room was lovely.

Rooms and the whole property were super clean and decorated beautifully. Mike and Lynn were so welcoming and friendly, couldn’t do enough for us! Also gorgeous garden area which we enjoyed in the sunshine. Will 100% be returning and would recommend to anybody!!

KuwaitWhat I didn’t like about the place was the absence of a lift. We were placed on the top floor, and I had two very heavy suitcases. I felt quite upset and sorry that the owner himself had to carry them all the way up. It made me feel really embarrassed.
I absolutely loved the place because it’s family-owned, with only nine rooms. The family themselves take care of the guests — they’re incredibly friendly and helpful. What makes it even more special is that the family personally prepares the breakfast, and they do it wonderfully. The food is absolutely delicious, well-presented, and organised. We’re asked to select our breakfast choices from a menu the day before, which makes everything smooth and efficient. I was also really impressed with the toiletries provided — the hand wash and lotion were both of excellent quality and smelled amazing.

United KingdomWe stayed here recently for 3 nights in room 8. Everything about this place is absolutely fabulous! We have stayed in various places in Windermere and this is by far the best. The room was superb, extremely comfortable, beautiful bathroom with high spec toiletries, the attention to detail was incredible. The breakfast setting and quality of food was outstanding and the hosts Mike and Lynn were lovely, their wealth of local knowledge was an added extra. I would definitely recommend this guest house, probably one of the best we have stayed in ever, a hidden gem. We will be back for sure! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
