How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe 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

Verified reviewThe 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.

Verified reviewThe rooms and location were beautiful. They had a really excellent coffee, tea, and hot chocolate stand set up and a lovely dining room where we played board games in the evening. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and check in was easy.
The shower in our room was electric, so it got a bit cold by the end. It was quite minor and my fiancé had a perfectly hot shower afterwards, so maybe it was just me taking too long!
Thank you so much, this is lovely and we’ll see you next time 😀

Verified reviewThis 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.
