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.).

United KingdomIdeal location just a 20 minute walk from the centre of Keswick and a little further to Derwentwater Lake . Also very close to the Honister Pass, Helvellyn mountain ranges etc . Hosts were friendly and offered to help with things if needed and a good breakfast.

From the second we walked in to this outstanding B&B, we knew we would be back. The whole place is spotless and beautifully decorated. Home-made flapjacks welcomed us along with a wonderful tour and chat with Clare. Our room had everything we needed and was so comfortable. The newly renovated bathroom had a wow factor that is unusual for a B&B. Breakfast was to die for! Claire and Craig are a dynamic duo and between them serve up absolutely anything you could imagine. The views from the beautifully maintained gardens are incredible and Craig and Claire‘s knowledge of the local area means you’re never short of advice on what to do and where to go. This was the most relaxing stay we have ever had in a B&B And we recommend it highly to anyone looking to stay in the Keswick area.

United KingdomThis is really nit picking, but the toilet seat in my room would not stay up on its own, so gents have to sit down for No.1'. Otherwise everything was very comfortable and clean.
Very convenient and quiet location. 15 minute walk to Keswick for food and shops. Host Claire showed me round and was very accomodating. It was easy to stay in touch via email and Whatsapp. Check in process very easy.

United KingdomA very warm welcome and a lovely tour of the property with a guide of where to eat. The room was immaculate and very well presented. There was always hot water and the room was a lovely temperature. Even though we hadn’t booked breakfast they were able to facilitate us and it was most certainly worth it. The full breakfast was delicious and the coffee was spot on. They even had some lovely pheasants who roomed in the garden who even had names!! The homemade shortbread was delicious after a day of exploring.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like. I can't see what more Craig and Clare could have done to make our stay more enjoyable.
When we arrived we were met and welcomed by Craig, who showed us around, explained how everything worked, and gave us lots of information about the local area, places to walk, places to eat. Very, very, informative. The room was lovely, the view from the room was stunning, breakfast was amazing, the service, the choice, and the taste. (Thanks Clare.) We couldn't fault a thing. We really enjoyed our time at Dalegarth House. We will definitely return.

United KingdomThis was not our host's fault but our own as when we chose to book we forgot to check that the room had a shower and not a bath but will note that for next time.
Craig and Chris were really accommodating hosts. My Wife and I booked at short notice and even though normal check in was not until late afternoon, we asked if it was possible to park our vehicle so we could take a walk-up Cat Bells. Not only did they allow us to park up early suggested we knock on the door in case a room was free, and we were in luck hence able to check in early and get on with our day. Chris is charge of the breakfast and it was lovely, choice of hot and cold, cereals, juice (cannot remember if any pastries were out - but fresh cake available free for guests) filled us up for the day. Also, if you want information about buses, restaurants, ferries across the lakes, walking routes Chris and Criag are full of local knowledge. After descending Cat Bells on their advice, we caught the ferry from Hawes End to Keswick only cost £12 for 2adults and saved us another 90mins walking. The location is gorgeous, quiet, spectacular views and lovely front garden. Coffee shop is close by with the Farmer Arms pub just down the road. Oh, and if you ask in advance, they will supply a packed lunch. We liked the location as it’s only a 15 / 20-minute walk into Keswick by foot. Recommend giving them a call as offer discounts direct. We will definitely be back.
