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 KingdomThis property was such a lovely stay. The bedroom was clean, cozy, and very comfortable, and I also enjoyed the breakfast! There were a lot of wonderful options. The location was also fantastic - only 15 minutes from the lake. As a solo traveler, it was very convenient to get around, and the hosts were very helpful with recommendations. I absolutely recommend.

United KingdomThe hotel was extremely clean, really friendly owners and breakfast excellent with a varied choice. I opted for the omelette which was cooked to perfection. Fridge in the room with fresh milk in and Tunnocks caramel biscuits a lovely touch. 5 minute walk in to Bowness and lovely peaceful garden at the Bed and Breakfast to chill and sit out and read. An excellent find

Location is superb. Very short walk to Windermere or Bowness. Hosts were lovely. Beds are very comfortable and it is slightly back from the main road so quiet in the evenings. Breakfast was to die for. I've already booked my next stay.

United KingdomRoom ceiling was low, but I was aware of this. Booking was late so next time I would book a different room.
This was our first visit to Bowness and the Lake District. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They made the visit something to remember. We were greeted well on arrival and each morning. Hosts took the time to remember us and ask about our day. They were helpful with any questions we have. The accommodation was very nice with many places to sit and relax. Breakfast had a lot of option to choose from and came cooked to perfection. I will surely recommend and use Oakfold House again when I return.

United KingdomNothing at all, it was all perfect.
Excellent location, a short walk into Bowness. Bonus of having parking at the property. There’s a lovely garden area with seating which guests can use. Beautiful period interior decor, very clean, comfortable beds. Wonderful hosts Rob and Clare who were so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, good local ingredients used, and the hosts offer a very wide range of options and were very accommodating to provide what my daughter had requested. Particularly liked that there were proper glasses available to use if you wanted to enjoy a bottle of wine in your room - no having to drink out of tumblers or mugs!

Very central location and definitely value for money. We left the car in the hotel car park and walked almost everywhere. Delicious homemade breakfast and very clean facilities.
