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 KingdomCan't think how it could be any better at this price!!
Breakfast was traditional fare and filling. Location in respect of the railway station was perfect, so close. Room was basic but had everything you could need and exceptionally good value, apart from the whopping fee that Booking.com took!

United KingdomLight outside restaurant opposite shone through the curtains all night. Decor was a bit scruffy. Ensuite unit was small - this is not a complaint because I knew that beforehand and it was fine for me because I am a small person, but be aware it would not be comfortable for a large person.
Welcoming, helpful staff, e.g. I asked for some decaffeinated coffee in my room. They had run out but they went out and bought some specially. Breakfast was fine. Location was handy for Windermere station.

United KingdomNot a lot. Maybe the en-suite needs updating, but it's clean and functional, and that’s good enough.
The check-in is fairly straight-forward as the hotel already had the details of the booking. The staff gave me the keys and directions to the room. The breakfast hours were explained and that’s it. The hotel is family run and I found them to be friendly and welcoming both during check-in and breakfast. The hotel appears to be a converted house and the room definitely looked like it had been converted with the addition of an ensuite. Bed was clean and comfortable. The room also had the usual amenities such as kettle, cups, tea and coffee etc. There was also a TV, although I never had time to use it. The ensuite had a shower, which was functional. There was a tiny amount of mould on the silicone, but nothing gross. The ensuite was clean and functional, and that’s good enough. The breakfast is fairly typical English fare with vegetarian and non-veg options. The food was served from a buffet, so you should have no problem filling up for the day ahead. Location wise, the hotel is on High Street and more or less in the centre of Windermere town. Plenty of supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and shops nearby. There’s a parking lot in front of the hotel that can fit maybe 4 or 5 cars.

MalaysiaMy room for one person is too small for comfort. Bur there is TV, hair drier , heating and cleam shower
Andy is very knowledgable and entertaining. He made ua laugh along the drive. He is the owner of lake lidge and his wife is a good cook. He helped us to have a tour with small group and reasonable price . I kmow its a big sacrifice for him to go with big car only for 3 people with half price of other tours ask. I kmow he did this mere out of kindness. We will never forgive you and your yummy breakfast. Brewed coffee is a must and bacon is not salty and crispy

IndiaThe window opens up to the street. Not a big problem but can be slightly noisy.
The owner was friendly and we chatted over breakfast. She also offers good advice on things to do in Windermere or nearby. The room was very comfortable and well maintained.

The owner is a straight talking chap and made me laugh. other reviews say he is rude but I disagree, he just says it as it is. The breakfast was very good and the owner went above and beyond when we were leaving allowing us to leave bags and left keys with us to get into the hotel and reception in case they weren’t around when we got back
