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...).

New ZealandNot a dislike, but a recommendation: there were no holding rails in the shower/ toilet. These would have made a big difference for my mum who, as I said, is disabled.
Really nice property, good location, some limited parking. The lady who checked us in was very friendly and super helpful- she collected a shower chair for my elderly, disabled mum.

The location good, close to facilities especially if you like a good walk up the mountain. The breakfast was excellent, well cooked and tasty. Frances behaved professional and nothing was too much for her to make our stay comfortable. She even offered to warm our home made food for us to eat after the long drive👍. She also gave us landmark of the area and interesting places around the area to explore. After check out, Frances agreed for us to leave our car for couple of hours while we went on the boat ride. Customer service is excellent and would recommend this hotel to guests.

United KingdomN/A loved it all.
Perfect Location What a great accidental find this was! Its central location in Coniston, close to shops, pubs, and restaurants, as well as Coniston Water itself, meant we were able to leave our car in the free parking area (another bonus). From the minute we arrived, our host, Frances, was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Our room was relatively small but not an issue as there is a lovely little area at the front of the property with tables and benches - we were lucky enough to have some sun - with lots of colourful plants. If the weather is not as favourable, there is a charming lounge downstairs with a few sofas to chill on. There was a shelf with DVDs and our room had a TV with built-in DVD player. Room also had a mini fridge stocked with bottled water, and we were given fresh milk for the rea/coffee facilities in the room. I loved the decor with a few feature walls, both in our room and on the stairs/ in the lounge. Breakfast was plentiful with a choice of fruit & yoghurt for starter, full cooked English, and toast with tea/coffee. I think Frances' attention to the little things (good quality towels, bath robes, complimentary toiletries, fresh milk instead of the usual cartons, homemade shortbread on arrival) all contribute to the success of her B&B, along with, of course, the hard work she obviously dedicates to it every day. No hesitation in recommending this to anyone, and if I was coming this way again, I'd stay here myself.

United KingdomAbsolutely stunning stay with my friend. Room was beautiful and impeccably clean and well maintained. We sat out in the garden in the evening and had the best breakfasts we’ve ever had anywhere we’ve stayed before. There was one rainy day we decided not to go out and instead stayed in our room relaxing and making the most of the comforts. Really recommend this as a great place to stay, fabulous atmosphere, comfortable and excellent location for exploring. We will be back.
