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 KingdomNo outside area, two flights of stairs. But we knew both of those things before we came.
This cottage is in a perfect location to access shops and pubs in Ulverston, as well as the other attractions that the area has to offer. It's a charming, quirky cottage with everything we needed for our stay.The kitchen and bathroom facilities are very good. We had a fabulous stay.

United KingdomThe house hadn’t had the heating on for some time. Everything inside was extremely cold down to the furnicture and bedding and towels. When we tried to put the heating on it didn’t work , we called the owner for advise by he didn’t know what was wrong. We eventually worked it out that the boiler needed topping up with water and we had to borrow a radiator key from a neighbour as most of the radiators needed bleeding . This was all very stressful for the first few hours of our stay and shouldn’t have had to be done by us. The house is in need of some maintenance lights buzzing in the lounge, light fitting missing in the bathroom and faulty tap in the bathroom and other things which could all be sorted if it was inspected I feel.
Lovely property in a great location.

GermanyDouble bed a wee bit small, though it might not be poss to get a king-sized into either room we’d have preferred one room to have two singles as an alternative, but that’s pickie, really.
We arrived early and ?Fiona was still making the place ready for us. She was absolutely brilliant, so kind and friendly. Location was fab. Light and airy. Bedrooms great. Kitchen really excellent. Bathroom too. Great base for the Folk Festival. Though there’s on dedicated parking it was easy to find somewhere so don’t let that put you off at all.

United KingdomThe heating was off when we arrived and it was freezing so turned up high then got too hot. Would be better to keep heating on low continuously. Also not enough loo roll had to buy our own which was annoying. Had to pay £18 for a 3 day parking pass but it is very close.
Lovely apartment in a great location. Good size rooms and well presented.

United KingdomWe arrived on probably the coldest day of the year and it was freezing inside, it would have been nice to come in to a nice warm property, saying that, it soon warmed up. This was only a small thing and I'm not really complaining, it was freezing though, and the windows were open!
The location, couldn't have been better, very central to the shops and eating places, also the fact that we could park right outside was fantastic. It was easy to get the key once we got the correct key code, the wrong code was put on the booking site, but I phoned the owner who gave me the correct one.

United StatesThere is parking for two cars at the front door but you have to get parked there early. The painted sign suggested KEEP CLEAR, which I assume is meant for guests to have a space. Sadly locals park there instead of on the close by GILL, which requires a fee between 0800 and 1800 hrs.
The property is in a great position for beginning a country walk, and visiting town shops, pubs etc.
