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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomSorry can't say anything I didn't like.
Everything about this cottage was perfect. We only had to take Christmas food, everything else was made available for us. We were close to Cockermouth and Maryport. The local pub was great and all the locals were so friendly. It was so nice to see Karen on Christmas Eve. Will definitely return.

United KingdomNot really a didn't like, just a heads up. I found the reverse parking into the parking outside the cottage easy, I live in a terraced street and reverse park all the time. For anyone who isn't, the boyfriend still stood opposite to check for traffic whilst I was parking. And the other traffic users were patient while I did park so don't rush the maneuver and it's easy xx
My boyfriend and I look for places with 2 separate bedrooms (he is a terrible sleeper and I have a CPAP machine). The fact this cottage had 2 very comfy double beds is brilliant, one of us normally ends up in a single bed! We also have to avoid pet friendly accommodation so this cottage was picked on those 2 criteria. Once we actually arrived the cottage exceeded our expectations. It is perfectly equipped and a home away from home. The sofa was different to the pictures, a large L shape rather than a 2 seater. Far better for relaxing on after a day of walking. It is situated for heading inland to the lakes or heading to coast and the main town is really easy to get to and park for a wander around. We will definitely want to book this place again when we are planning a break away in this area

United KingdomOur only niggle was the lack of signal on our phones and intermittent wifi, its not the end of the world but it does make it a little difficult when planning/researching activities.
I took my daughter for a long weekend to celebrate her 30th. The cottage was beautiful, well decorated and clean and perfect for us with a very well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge. The bathroom was gorgeous and both bedrooms were lovely with very comfortable beds. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

United KingdomParking! Property is advertised with parking but there really isn’t enough space outside the cottage, without impacting other users/home owners. Didn’t have a problem parking on the road outside, so not a huge issue.
Great location, very clean and comfortable home from home, locals very friendly! Very cosy cottage showing lots of attention to detail, with friendly, caring hosts.

United KingdomParking up in the narrow space alongside the property was a challenge.
It was a home from home in every sense - clean,cosy, well equipped and just a short drive from many attractions and scenic locations across the northern Lakes. The village has a well stocked shop and a friendly community-run pub - a few mins walk from the property.

United KingdomDue to my limited mobility I found the stairs difficult especially as bannister rail did not go all the way up. Seating was also a slight issue. These are comments relating to my issues rather than the property itself. Parking in the village is also limited and difficult.
Very clean on arrival. Great instructions as to how to find and gain entry. The cottage extremely well equipped with everything needed to make the stay complete.

United KingdomNo handrail on the stairs bearing in mind most visitors have to take up/down a suitcase during the stay as well as daily trips using the stairs. Also a grab rail to be used for getting out of the bath when using the shower.

United KingdomIf being picky the cottage in places could do with some TLC / Freshening up. Also as caters for 4 people, sufficient glassware would be useful too (i.e. at least 4 wine glasses)
Pretty much all you need in a cottage in a good location with amenities close by at a really reasonable price. Hosts were fantastic, great communication and very accommodating.

United KingdomIt was a bit disappointing that the cleaner arrived bang on 10am and hassled us to leave when I asked for ‘just 5 mins’ to finish washing up and do a last check. Ended up leaving my birthday bouquet on the side, gutted.
Hosts’ communication very helpful and friendly. Cottage was clean and is finished really nicely. Two rooms with double beds which is hard to find (usually 1 double and 1 twin), with lovely cosy bedding.
