Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing! It was lovely.
Mark was very helpful arranging us access to more towels and there were quick replies to any enquiries. The house is very spacious with lots of cupboards and wardrobe space. We were there for a few days for a wedding but we made the most of the wrap-around days by taking in the history with the church and castle and taking in the fabulous riverside walk with beautiful crafts on display and wonderful gardens. The community hub was just down the road serving a varied and well priced menu with lots of crafts to buy or books for a pound each. Everyone was friendly. Hubby also made use of the swimming pool down the street. A wonderful stay in a picturesque location. Highly recommended.

United KingdomJust missed an ironing board
The location was perfect - very close to lots of village shops and pubs. The property was spotlessly clean and spacious. The garden was great for sitting outside to eat. Right across the road from a park and lovely green space.

United KingdomI liked everything
Lovely property. Clean, spacious for my family, and a lovely location with a park directly opposite the house. There are plenty of things to do, and the host provides an array of leaflets for the local surrounding areas with great things to do and places to eat.

United KingdomThese are just observations not complaints! We would have liked an iron for crumpled clothes in suitcases. Vacuum was shown in available equipment but not one available,a family may require for a longer stay. Very Steep staircase may be difficult for people with mobility probs., to climb. ( I have arthritis, hands and feet job going up! ) Beyond owners control, adjoining house next door having alterations loud drilling and banging Thursday and Friday,non at weekend. Major alterations to River Water Course in street, limiting parking spaces for loading and unloading, noisy digging during week.
The position of the property is central to all the amenities. Once parked there is no need to use the car in Appleby. Ample room space and suitable for 2 unrelated single people as well as a family. We love the Swimming Pool , Shops and Area.

United KingdomLovely cosy, quirky house. Had everything we needed. Kitchen, really well equipped, the heating was really efficient. The bed was super comfy. Eden House is in a lovely setting overlooking a park area and the path to the river walk and the neighbourhood was really quiet, even on New Year's Eve. It's also just around the corner from Appleby's main square so really handy. We returned home really chilled after our relaxing break at Eden House.

United KingdomThe stairs, even our dogs were unsure of the stairs.
We visited Appleby for three nights with our dogs so this house was great because of the enclosed garden. The property is in a fabulous location and Mark is super duper helpful! The house is very dated but served our purpose. The stairs are a challenge especially if you have a little drink or three on holiday! We would return if ever in the area again. Thanks Mark!

United KingdomNothing, it suited us fine. Just to be aware, there is on street parking for 3 hours right outside the property between 8am and 6pm, use the disc provided. There is a car park very close (payable) or a free car park a 5 min walk away at the swimming pool. The host explains this in their welcome folder.
Spacious rooms, all you'd need kitchen wise, helpful booklet provided by the host as well as leaflets of places to visit, car park pass (needed for parking in the town) It was quiet, the setting is right in the town, close to shops, places to eat and there's a very nice riverside walk close by. The host was very good in pre visit instructions and was on hand, if needed. (We didn't)

United KingdomThe Wifi was a little slow, otherwise this would have been a 10 out of 10 overall. Cannot fault the house other than that, absolutely perfect set up in a perfect location. Well done to the owner!
Great location, lovely kept house with everything you need for a weeks stay. Everything you needs is on your doorstep, shops, great pubs and lovely accessible walks along the river banks. Appleby is probably the best little village in the world, but that's just my opinion!

United KingdomVery little. The bathroom was perhaps a little dated (no biggie), but was brilliantly clean.
Very spacious & given the really tall ceilings it was spotlessly clean throughout. It smelt clean as soon as you opened the front door. Extensive new carpeting too. Excellent base for exploring both the Lake District & the Yorkshire Dales. Easy access to town centre.

United KingdomThe place was rather dated, tired and a slight old tobacco odour when we arrived. Really needs a bit of TLC, and painting to brighten up the hall and the downstairs rooms, yellowing woodwork and doors. We put the hall lamp in the lounge as the ceiling light was very bright! Glad I brought some LED lights whilst it was Christmas to brighten it up. Sofa not very comfortable, very low and hard. The spare pillows in the bedroom were old and some yellow staining, noticeable as there were no pillowcases on them. No food cupboard to place groceries. A shelf for the glasses and to hang cups (far too many mugs, at least 20 and it only accommodates 4 people!) would have enabled a cupboard to be used to place groceries. The stairs are very, very steep, more than we anticipated.
Location was great. Central to the town of Appleby. Nice walks. Good information pack inside the property. Owner was very good with communication before we arrived. Kitchen clean.
