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 really with the property. All good. Booking.com glitch didn't record the pet I put down on the form and had three persons down as staying, not two, but all resolved with the host.
Very comfortable and well equipped property. Exceptionally clean and tidy with very nice and roomy bedroom and bathroom. Outside was a spacious private front yard with nice touch garden furniture, brilliant for a warm and sunny stay. The host Tanya was very helpful and contactable for any assistance.

United KingdomWe loved everything!
Such a great location. Easy to walk into the main town with plenty of places to eat and drink on our doorstep. There were lots of nearby beautiful walks to enjoy with the kids and the dog. The house was clean, very comfortable beds (the only one I've ever managed to sleep in other than my own!) Lots of fridge space, bathroom facilities were great and the shower was spot on. The owners were extremely friendly and very accommodating. Beautiful little courtyard to sit and have a drink in the evening and a really peaceful little area. Will definitely be booking again in the future 😃

United KingdomThe only issues were the layout of the main bedroom - the bed faced the mirrored wardrobes - for someone who is body conscious I didn’t like waking up to seeing myself in a disheveled way! Also the towels are fairly tiny, would have preferred bath sheets but that’s just my preference.
I loved the outside private courtyard garden, it was a lovely place to sit - I obviously chose the garden swing chair :) and reflect, whilst listening to the birdsong, morning or late afternoon. Very lucky with the weather. Parking straight outside the main gate was a bonus. Easy instructions how to get to the property and access the key box on arrival. Lovely, quaint little place in an ideal spot for exploring the Western Lakes. Beds were very comfy, with mattress and pillow protectors and cotton bedding. Bathroom was very spacious, towels provided. Lounge and Kitchen area is fairly small and contained, worked for our family of three (all adults) for the bank holiday weekend stay, not sure if we were there longer and weather not as good, it would have worked as well. Great stay though and would definitely recommend or revisit if we come back to the area. Thank you for a lovely stay.

United KingdomThe social living space was a little smaller than I had thought it would be from the pictures, but not to an extent that caused any issues (could still fit 5 people + dog round the table).
Well positioned on the edge of Cockermouth, this accommodation gave us great access into the Lakes as well as still being able to walk into town. Really comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Lovely courtyard that was well fenced and perfect to let the dog run around in.

Everything was as described on website, safe area for dog to be let out in , good location for pubs , cafes etc , and areas to walk the dog, Tanya kept us well informed before we got there, about where keys were kept and code for key box etc, we didn't have to get in touch for anything but am sure if we needed to she would have been happy to help, very pleased to find tea, coffee, milk and sugar available when we got there as we'd had quite a long journey and were gasping for a cuppa on arrival, we had brought our own bowls for the dog but if we hadn't they were readily available in the apartment, the courtyard area is lovely to sit in when the weather allows, we did manage to sit out for a little while, must be lovely in the summer, all in all a lovely few days ,would definitely stop there again

United KingdomLovely little bungalow, great location in a smart residential area with an easy 15 min walk into Cockermouth. Little courtyard outside you can sit in the sunshine in. Property was lovely and clean on arrival, rainfall shower great and nice big bath to soak in after those long walks! Immaculate kitchen with welcome milk and chocolate bars on arrival a nice touch. Something I’ve not experienced before was an e mail from the host to let us know the property was ready for our arrival and a bit earlier which was much appreciated. The host, Tanya, clearly takes pride in her accommodation -thank you for a lovely stay, we wouldn’t hesitate to come back.
