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 KingdomHeather and Craig were fantastic hosts, very accommodating and friendly. The rooms were really clean, spacious and had everything you would expect for an enjoyable break away. The Guest house is perfectly situated for a short walk to Derwent Water or into town. We really enjoyed our time at West View and look forwards to visiting again.

United KingdomShower could be a bit stronger, but wouldn't stop me from booking this hotel again
Location was fantastic, just next to the tunnel to get to the centre, the main car park, lakeside AND the hope park cafe that does ice cream PLUS a great view from the top bedroom... Great for a weekend getaway!! Craig was very friendly and accommodating. Bed very comfy.

United KingdomI misunderstood the original booking so when we arrived the host informed me we were on a room only basis. However we were offered a full English breakfast for £10 per head which we accepted. The following morning my husband paid the host £20 cash.
The host was helpful and pleasant. The bedroom was basic but adequate. There was a separate visitor's lounge upstairs which we found very useful.

United Kingdomthere was not really anything to not like as it was so enjoyable to have a comfy bed and nice room after a poor attempt at camping for four nights and because of various reasons getting very little sleep too old i guess for camping in a backpackers tent
breakfast was excellent kept me going all day on the fells and the location of the property was ideal just a few minutes walk to the shops and pubs and the views from my room were good and very little traffic noise

United KingdomStaff were very friendly, once shown our room we were left alone and not disturbed once which we appreciated as this was a child free break, the location is excellent and only a two minute walk into the Center of Keswick, we got parked directly outside the accommodation which was ideal, there is a communal lounge on the first floor which we have not seen before, it over looks the park and think it would be ideal if away with friends staying in another room or if we take the children, we would recommend and we will definitely be back Thankyou

United KingdomSo we visited in mid-August, right in the middle of the heatwave. The weather is obviously not in the control of the B&B owners - but the room was utterly stifling. Window could only open a little bit, so room got quite uncomfortable at night. Might have been nice to have a little fan in the room or something. Appreciate that it's not always this hot - so I can imagine it being perfectly comfortable at any other time of year.
Superb B&B - friendly hosts, great breakfast, superb location close to the Lake. Comfortable, well appointed guest lounge to sit in was a real bonus. Great place for a short break.
