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 KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at Brantholme. Everything about it was just wonderful - right from the lovely welcome we had from Jo. We stayed in Room 4 which was absolutely beautiful - fabulous views, beautiful furnishings and a fabulous bath!! The breakfast was excellent - loads of choice and everything freshly prepared by Frank - just lovely! We really appreciated the Covid-related care that was taken. It made us feel very safe The location is ideal and meant that we could leave the car there and walk or use public transport to get about.

MalaysiaThe rather over the top rules due to COVID ( eg we had to draw the beddings before leaving) and weak coffee for breakfast. And don’t opt for the room facing the road, it gets noisy at times.
The location the clean room, and the lovely shower.

United KingdomWe had booked as a dog friendly B&B back in March. Now it’s not dog friendly but our booking was honoured. We were very apprehensive prior to arriving with our pup but hosts were lovely with him and must admit for his first holiday he was well behaved.
Very friendly hosts, good size room, lovely breakfast. Just shame the weather prevented us exploring the garden and patio.

United KingdomThe only gripes we had is the 4pm check on time. We had to book a meal in a nearby establishment for 5pm so it didn’t leave long to un pack, shower and change. There was a tea stain on the window ledge that the previous occupants left. There was also a hair in the bath.
The hosts are excellent and happy to help at all times. The breakfasts are excellent and the dining area is lovely. We stayed in room 4 which is a very comfortable suite that could easily accommodate a family. The owners certainly take covid 19 very seriously and provide more than adequate precautions.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with wonderful hosts who were friendly and more than willing to accommodate any requests. Room was comfortable, bed very comfy and view from our room fabulous looking out over the hills and with the benefit of access to the terrace. Covid requirements meant timed sittings and we don't do too early which was what was left for first morning. However hosts more than willing to provide something a little later to eat in our room, and suited us given we were heading out for a special lunch later on that day. Second morning was perfect timing and good breakfast. Overall a wonderful 2 day stay relaxing and chillin'.

United KingdomWe were made very welcome as soon as we arrived by Jo and measures were in place regarding covid to ensure everyone’s safety. Our room was clean, spacious and very comfortable with a gorgeous view of the surrounding mountains (not overlooked at all). Breakfast offered a wide choice and I was provided with gluten free options including lactofree butter and oat milk which was lovely. The car parking facilities are excellent and the location is central but quiet. I’m sure we’ll be back! Thank you for a great stay.

United KingdomSlightly expensive but think that's just maybe the current climate at the minute.
Location was perfect, hosts were fabulous, more than we would normally spend on a B&B we would prefer our own accommodation (or we would stay in a B&B as a cheaper option) but had a lovely stay and the hosts couldn't have done enough for you. Thank you.

United KingdomEverything was superb - spotlessly clean, careful attention to being COVID-safe, kind, friendly owners. I can't think of a single thing to say here!
Excellent cooked breakfast - very high quality. Beautiful quiet location. We had a superior double room and the views over the fells were excellent. Only a few minutes easy stroll into the town centre, but at the guest house, you felt far away from the town. Really lovely, quiet garden terrace to sit out on.
