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 KingdomNot being able to stay longer.
From the staff to the facilities, everything was perfect. When we arrived we were told we had been moved to a larger room with a view of the lake and Catbells as no-one had booked that room. Breakfast was exceptional and the only downside is I wanted to try everything and couldn't. Basically in the centre of Keswick this is a lovely guest house with fantastic friendly staff and great facilities.

The location was perfect - just a very short walk into the town centre but with a beautiful view across the hills and Cat Bells. The room was exceptionally clean and the breakfast was lovely - some different options and all very tasty. Staff were really helpful with advice locally and very friendly.

United KingdomVery small things, but the parking area isn’t ideal if it’s very busy. The bathroom in our room was a little small as well. Again, these are extremely minor gripes and the stay as a whole was absolutely fantastic.
The property was immaculate, so clean and tidy! Also really well decorated downstairs bar/lounge area. The room was perfectly clean and the facilities were spot on. Breakfast included in the price was superb, you’d be happy with a breakfast like that at a high-end cafe for sure. Location was great, just a 2 minute walk into the high street. The staff were lovely, very friendly and always looking to help. Would 100% stay here again!!

United KingdomThe bathroom was a little small but perfectly functional, and breakfast service was very slow on our second day.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the rooms view was magnificent. If you stay there, room 2 is a must! I would definitely recommend the Hazledene for your stay in Keswick. It will be our first choice when we go back to visit!

United KingdomOnly suggestion would be updating the bathroom but apparently that’s about to happen anyway!
Modern decor, comfortable and welcoming. Felt more like a small hotel than a B&B. Room had fantastic view over the snow capped mountains. Lots of very nice touches like Bathouse toiletries and home baked cookies. Short walk to shops, restaurants and pubs. Staff were great and the breakfast was the best we’ve had at any B&B we’ve ever stayed.
