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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomWe cant really think of anything we would improve on. We had a great time and the cottage was a fab base to explore Ullswater and the surrounding area.
Great video introduction to the property from our host Matthew which made check in easy. Very well equipped kitchen, we made use of the coal and wood provided for the living room fire. Lovely historic cottage with an abundance of original features. Our boys loved the extra tech which meant they could play their favourite music throughout the house during our stay.

United KingdomAs soon as we walked into Fern Cottage we knew it was the perfect place for our Christmas family stay. The mix of traditional and modern living was just what we were looking for and the location was perfect. Lovely touches of a large Christmas tree in the livingroom and decor around the house was most welcome also. The accommodation was faultless in terms of size and cleanliness and the perfect size for four adults and a toddler... Everything was exactly as described. I will definitely book again. Matthew is an excellent host and I would have no problem booking with him again

United KingdomMy only suggestion would be add some egg cups and a cake stand. Having lit the fire on a wet afternoon, the atmosphere lent itself to afternoon tea in the front parlour!
The decor was excellent, all comforts were thought of; high quality rugs, scented candles, range of toiletries, comfortable beds. It was so well equipped, everything was thought of and more. There was a range of herbs and oils, hot drinks, wonderful fire. It was such a peaceful place. I could happily move in here. The garden was beautiful too. Perfect in every way.

United KingdomOnly down side was the fact only local shop was A drive away. But other than that nothing can be negatively said.
The cottage was amazing, clean, comfortable. Every inch was well thought of from kitchen.. to shelves with family games which went down a treat with the little ones!
