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 KingdomNothing about the hotel but only were it was situated as it was a very steep hill and not to good if disabled persons with walking difficulties and asmatics which I am.
The staff was very helpful and friendly We arrived late in the evening and the staff pointed us to a lovely pub to get some food .The room was clean and tidy,the bed was so comfortable the on-suiet bathroom was beautiful and quite spacious. We had breakfast and this was really nice and filling us up until evening. All in all I would definitely stay again and even recommend to friends. And it was quite central to town.

United KingdomRoom 5 was very comfortable and well equipped but was on the 2nd floor up 4 flights of stairs, this information would have been helpful in advance. The hotel is also located up a steep hill from the centre.

United KingdomMy cousin who isn’t very fit struggled with the steep slope into the town, so anyone with mobility issues could find the short walk uphill to the property a problem . Otherwise it’s close to everything.
Nice little touches made this stay very nice. A fridge on the landing with little bottles of fresh milk and bottled water. The owner also left homemade ginger cake out to have with your cuppa, and on the 2nd day , carrot cake - both were delicious The bedroom was lovely as was the bathroom. Homemade shortbread in the room was also a nice touch Lovely fresh bedding and towels. Breakfast was also delicious with good quality items.

United KingdomMy partner bumped his head a couple of times on one of the low exposed beams in the room which made us both a bit cautious when moving about the room. Something we would have got used to I am sure had we stayed longer
Superb breakfast freshly cooked to order, great selection of cereals, juice etc. Liked the extra touches during our stay- shortbread nibbles in room. Chilled bottled water, fresh chilled milk and cakes provided which was a lovely surprise. Room was unique and luxurious. Especially loved the shower and the quality of the sheets and bedding

United KingdomThere isn't anything to dislike..... Maybe the location isn't right in the main streets but the room sizes and views more than make up for this .....
The House is lovely. Gorgeous interiors downstairs and in the bedroom. Very well kept garden for guest use. I enjoyed relaxing in the deep freestanding bath and watching the clouds moving by from the chair in the huge bedroom window. Room was an excellent size. Excellent value for money given the room size compared to some guest houses in Bowness. The breakfast room is lovely to sit in too. Great choices at Breakfast . Nice touches including a fridge for guest use containing plenty of fresh milk , water and home made biscuits. Excellent hosts at the property. Well done Nick. Your house is pretty special ....

United KingdomThis is an exceptional bed and breakfast hotel in the heart of Bowness. Close to all the pubs, restaurants, shops and the lakeside, though up a short steep hill!! The bedroom (room 4) was very spacious and clean with a superb bath and shower. Nick the host also provides a few welcome added touches such as homemade cakes, bottles of water and fresh milk. There was a choice of cooked full English or Vegetarian breakfasts, plus bread, cereals and yoghurts.
