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 reviewA very welcome little place for the solo traveller who just needs a place to lay their head at night after spending their days out on the hills. Far enough beyond the main part of town means it's nice and quiet at night, and you don't have to fight through a horde of tourists to get to the door, but at the same time not so far that getting a supplies is a hike in and of itself. Clean and comfortable with a great view of Skiddaw from the bathroom window!
Glad you loved your stay and thank you.

Verified reviewThe Capsule was in a nice, quiet area just out of Keswick. Although compact it had everything I needed including a mini fridge, ample parking and a superb shower. Communications from the owner were excellent. The property itself was spotlessly clean
There was quite limited storage if you’re there for longer the two days I was there and the foam pillows wouldn’t be my preference, but minor points that didn’t detract from my stay. Looking at the prices of other properties in Keswick this seemed good value.

Verified reviewLoved the Capusule room. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and quiet. Incredible surroundings, just a short walk into town and the perfect location to hike the nearby fells. The hosts were really friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
Fridge didn't keep items cold enough for my preference.

Verified reviewLovely clean room. Felt bigger than it was with the high ceilings and windows. Able to come and go as I wanted. Comfy bed, great shower. Enjoyed my stay. Good communication from hosts. I had no issues so didn't need to ask them anything.
As mentioned by other people, the light outside the room comes on, triggered by vibrations I think. I put a blanket along the bottom of the door, didn't notice it and slept well.
Thanks for the great review, we’ll get the light sensor changed out in time for your next stay for sure. Have a great summer Steve

Verified reviewEverything was great for me. I don't like fuss so being able to self check in was great. The walk up the hill from the town was a bit of a killer but not a problem if driving. The directions into town was really helpful and the room itself was comfortable and cosy. I had a wonderful stay and would like to return
Glad you loved it Sarah, luckily the hill is relatively flat compared to the fells! Ashley

( I could see light under door ) It didn't bother me...but maybe it needs checking... I only drink decaff tea and coffee....so wasn't able to use yours....

Verified reviewPerfect base for keswick and surrounding area. I parked up and didn't need to use my car again for my 3 night stay. Easy check in and the room was comfy with good shower. The filling station just round the corner was ideal for brekky and the pheasant (also round corner) was nice for one last drink before sleep. Keswick itself was lively and friendly. The hills surrounding make it special
Thanks for the lovely write up Kenny, glad you loved your stay Ashley

Verified reviewVery clean and comfortable accommodation. The room was fairly small but well-equipped and perfect for a short stay. Very quiet location just a short walk from the centre of Keswick. Plenty of parking and the owners let me leave my car for a few hours after check-out.
Nothing.
