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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaWe loved our stay at the Dozy Deer. Even though it was less than 24 hrs, the communication was excellent, the facilities wonderful, the decor amazing and as we were departing early, we absolutely loved the 'breakfast room' where we could get an excellent real coffee before we left. Thank you Beth, it was wonderful and good luck with the new arrival next month. Cheers Penny and Roger

The property was very clean and well-maintained. Its location was convenient—just a 15-minute walk from the station, with restaurants and cafes nearby. Beth, the host, was extremely helpful. She provided clear directions before our arrival, assisted with storing our luggage, and even gave us access to the main floor flat after check-out so we could wait comfortably. The property had a nice dining area with complimentary coffee and fresh fruits available for guests throughout the day, which was a thoughtful touch. One thing that could have improved the stay was the addition of a microwave for heating food, which was missing. Overall, our stay was pleasant and comfortable.

This was our first trip to Windermere, The hotel is 10 minutes walk from the Train Station. We were greeted at the reception by owners Beth and Craig. The room size was very good considering that we were 4 people. Nicely decorated, Comfortable beds, nice paintings, nice street view & not to mention fragrances in the room. Free Coffee /Tea/ Fruits and biscuits were also available. The hotel is centrally located with lots of breakfast options / other dining restaurant. We would definitely visit again.

United KingdomThere wasn't anything I could say that could improve our stay.
A 15 min walk from the station, with plenty of shops, cafes, bars on the way. A Sainsbury's, Boots & Co-op all on route. A lovely little guest house on a quiet street. Easy access to property on arrival. Beth sends message with instructions about keys. Very clean & fresh, a little coffee bar in the front room with tables to enjoy your drinks. There was a book swap & board games available. The walk down to the lake is straightforward & takes about 20 mins. Plenty to see on way down with a few pubs, cafes, shops on the way. We even walked back up, a bit slower than the way down but stopped off at a pub for food halfway back. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomMattress was a bit soft and the radiator fell off once but was able to hook it back on. The fridge is a communal fridge (not in room) and can be small if you plan to grab many things or if many guests. If you are a sensitive to light when sleeping maybe bring an eye mask.
Beth was extremely kind on our arrival and allowed us in earlier on a very wet day. She was able to get the room ready for us earlier than expected and allowed us to use tea and coffee making facilities which was super helpful during our two night stay. There are access to the public transport routes and hiking routes or alternatively if you have a car you can access many areas around the lake! A bonus was the millionaire shortbread and chocolate tiffin left out which I still don't know where they were from or if home made but they were delicious!
