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 to dislike. Everything was great.
The privacy of the cottage and the garden terrace was lovely. The hosts are fantastic, they are very informative and will make you aware of local walks and things to do. Very attentive and friendly. The layout of the cottage was very nice, with the kitchen downstairs and the living area upstairs. The overall comfortability of the cottage was excellent. It was very clean and tidy. The facilities were fantastic, Sky TV included movies and sports. Everything you need for a short getaway is there. The location is ideal in that it is just outside the centre of Windermere which means it is peaceful and relaxing, but you can reach the centre of Windermere or Bowness with a short walk. We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, and we would definitely recommend it as a place to stay if you're visiting the Lakes. We will definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe only issue, for me, was the lack of wardrobe and chest of drawers. The hanging and shelving unit would be fine for a short stay, but for two people for a week, it meant we couldn’t fully unpack. The space afforded by the hanging rail was also not long enough to hang even knee length dresses. I think there is space for a different option.
On arrival, Andrew was very welcoming. The apartment is accessed via a code lock so there were no keys to collect or return, meaning that we were able to be independent throughout. The kitchen was well appointed with extras, such as: hand soap; a couple of sachets of hot chocolate along with tea and coffee and kitchen roll. There were toiletries provided in the bathroom, too. A full Sky TV package is a great addition when staying for longer (we stayed a week). The decor is neutral and very modern. The situation, between Windermere and Bowness (both walkable), is excellent.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like.
Location fantastic in the middle of both Windermere and Bowness easy walking distance. Great studio in beautiful grounds of the main B and B...exceptionally clean. A fantastic studio for two people wanting a few nights in own accommodation with everything to hand. Great hosts we would love to stay again. Highly recommend this place. Nice touches such as lovely bedding and towels plus the lemon drizzle cake was really nice with a cup of tea after a long journey.

United KingdomThe host Andrew is amazing. He waited us till late and was very patient and honest with us. He also speaks French which is very helpful. The property was very tidy and clean, which make the late arrival a much pleasant and homey feeling. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a relaxed mountain holiday in the astonishing lakeside!

United KingdomAccess to the car park was along a driveway so narrow that I thought at first that it was a footpath. Having said that, my car did fit along it, and there was a bit more room to manoeuvre once I reached the car park itself. A good tip here is to avoid arriving at school time, as there is a school very nearby and there were mums & kids everywhere.
Although this property is squeezed in between others, it did give us the feeling of being alone. We never really bumped into anyone else at all. The property is spotlessly clean & well appointed. It it halfway between Windermere & Bowness centres, each of which is only a short walk. There is an outdoor 3 pin socket for charging electric cars. If you arrange with the owners, they will save the nearest parking space for you.

United KingdomNot really a problem but the WiFi didn’t reach the living room. Also I would warn guests about the hot water as it does get burning hot fast.
It was nice and private, far enough from the main road you couldn’t hear traffic but not too far to walk. Lovely and cozy, had all the facilities you need with fridge, washing machine and dishwasher.

United KingdomDesignated rear parking for the cottages is atrocious especially if you have a low profile car. My car ended up damaged from the parking arrangements. If you stay i would strongly suggest you park on the road. Bed was a little uncomfortable and would benefit from a new mattress and pillows.
Friendly hosts. Location was good. Facilities within the cottage were also good and it was very clean. We enjoyed our stay.

A home from home. It is very comfortable and beautiful. The decor and facilities are brilliant. The location is great! It is a 10 minute walk up to Windermere town and about a 15-20 minute walk away from the lakeside.
