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 KingdomEverything was very luxurious with towelling robes provided in the well appointed bathroom, but no toiletries were provided.
The place was very comfortable and relaxing with excellent facilities. The owner had paid great attention to detail in every way. It was spotlessly clean and a nice touch was the bottle of wine and biscuits that were provided. I would highly recommend it for a quiet break.

United KingdomDirections to find the property could have been a bit more precise e.g. when to turn when coming out of the village - the satnav took us to a different farm. Also, the Wi-Fi and general mobile coverage are a bit flimsy. It may have something to do with the very large mast nearby.
Beautifully furnished property, with plenty of room for storage. A different layout where you go downstairs to bed. Couldn't really find anything we didn't like about the place.

United KingdomShower controls were a bit scary! On a more serious note, I would recommend directions to the apartment are provided as typing the post code into the sat nav took us to a farm about a mile away! I suggest something along the lines of “take the turning just outside Calthwaite signposted to “Fieldhead”. After 0.5m, turn right at Sceugh Dyke. The apartments are at the farm at the end of the lane.”
Beautifully furnished. Everything about it was top of the range.

United KingdomNothing really. Maybe improved directions to the location. It would have been nice to use the jacuzzi option in the bath which sadly was not available at the time of my visit.
Excellent. The location, the quietness and the amenities in the accommodation.

United KingdomOur sat nav took us to the wrong place. I would recommend using 'what three words'
Extremely well appointed. The whole place is well laid out and decorated but the bedroom, wardrobes and bathroom are amazing! This is very close to the Lakes but also plenty of other, much quieter places. Eden valley has some lovely walks, Hadrian's Wall is not too far, neither is the coast at Silloth not the Pennines! Also, highly recommend a meal at the Globe Inn.

United KingdomThe place was better than the pictures. I would say it is an upside-down house with the living area at the top, which leads out to a balcony with a lovely view, and it was very peaceful just what we were looking for after a busy day out. It was very clean the kitchen had everything you needed, it was like home from home. Lovely place Liz

United KingdomNothing. All exceptional.
The location is fabulous. So quiet and peaceful and yet ideally situated for the lakes, the Eden Valley and the Pennines.The apartment exceeded all expectations and the photos do not do it justice. Absolute luxury, well equipped kitchen and everything you could need. We stayed for six weeks while waiting for a new build to be finished and it really is home from home with bells on! The warmth and hospitality from the host was fantastic. We arrived on 16th December to decorated Christmas trees and festive goodies. I could not recommend this place more highly.

United KingdomVery little. Unfortunately the spa bath was out of order but we were notified in advance and the shower is amazing. Previous reviews complain about using bar stools when dining. I don't mind sitting on bar stools but the ones here are actually too high for the breakfast bar so you are too high above your meal. Although the corner sofa is beautiful and very comfy it's very big for an apartment designed for a couple. I feel if it was a bit smaller there would be room for side tables so you're not putting your wine glass on the floor.
This really is a beautiful apartment. Everything looks and feels luxurious with lots of little touches ftom the low level lighting to the TV in the bathroom. The bed is big and soft but still supportive and I've never seen so much storage as in the dressing room. The laundry room was an added bonus although we didn't need it except to dry bath towels after showering. And what a shower! The bathrobes were also a nice touch. The owner obviously listens to feedback as the WiFi has been upgraded and there are smart tvs; both things previously mentioned in reviews. The complimentary luxury cookies and prosecco were a lovely touch too. We hope to return.
