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 KingdomI didn't like the parking as it is all up hill and my car struggled to go forward once I had stopped (I do have a small run around car).
The bed is super comfy and the views from the front are stunning. The room is very cozy.

Location was excellent within walking distance of town centre and the lake. Accommodation was clean and comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities and provided tea, coffee along with an assortment of biscuits and muffins which was a nice touch. Our host Sandra greeted us warmly and was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the area.

United KingdomThe parking is tight and atop a steep slope. However, its still free parking so it wasn't too much an issue. I noticed from a goole review image that there was a breakfast/dining room. We knew nothing of this so not sure if this is no longer a thing? We would have absolutely had breakfast here if it was available.
The location is perfect! Nice and close to the lake, shops and the ferry. Less than a 10 min walk. The room was well kept, clean and spacious. A large window with a lovely green view. Complementary Border biscuits added a nice touch as they're some of my favourite! On the upstairs landing there is a decent sized selection of DVDs to take back to your room. The bed mattress was rather soft and while I prefer a more firmer mattress, it was super comfy and I slept like a baby each night! The owner was away during our stay and was being managed by a lady who was very welcoming and provided some much appreciated local advice.

IndiaBathroom and Kitchen Experience: The bathroom was very small and quite cramped. The kitchen was locked, so we were unable to use the facilities to prepare or even get basic items like milk or coffee. There was no staff available when we needed assistance, and help was only provided according to their own convenience, not the guests’ needs. This lack of accessibility and support was disappointing.
Good.
