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...).

United KingdomSharon is a friendly and attentive host. The breakfast was amazing and quite filling. Sharon was very helpful too in providing a map with best walking paths into town with recommended restaurants. She knows all the best places to sightsee as well. We would stay there again!

AustraliaHaving our room on the top floor made lugging a 25kg suitcase up and down challenging. Our room was “cosy” which is what was advertised as it was the last one available for our stay. There is no private parking but we didn’t have any problem parking in the road opposite.
A really warm welcome from Sharon who truly puts all her heart into running this clean, nicely decorated, B&B. Cannot recommend this one highly enough.

United KingdomNothing!
Our stay at Burnside was perfect. Our room was immaculate and we loved the arts & crafts/William Morris decor. Breakfast was amazing!! Everything was cooked fresh and super tasty. Sharon was really helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. The walk into town was just right - long enough to blow away morning cobwebs or walk off a nice meal. We have already booked our return visit!

The waffle with banana and toffee sauce was just so good! The room was clean, spacious and well equipped. I really could not fault the place at all.

IndiaI would have liked more if the location is a little closer to the centre of the town.
We enjoyed our stay in the B&B a lot :) :). The Host Sharon is the Best. Herm warm welcome makes you feel right at home. She makes the best possible Breakfasts (special mention goes to the Veg sausage). She is very helpful in planning your visit around the lake District, especially Keswick. Upon her advice we hiked the "Catbells" which gives a thrilling views of the Lake. Keswick is also the place where the ancient peoples erected the Stone Circle. The B&B is only a small distance from the Stone Circle.

United KingdomNothing it was impeccable
This hotel was outstanding! firstly the service from Sharon was impeccable,professional, and welcoming nothing was any trouble and she went above and beyond to insure our stay was the best! This lady made our holiday and we will 100% be coming back. The breakfast was the best breakfast I had ever eaten, so much choice and covered all dietary’s meaning there was something for everyone! the room was immaculately clean and the perfect size for a couple! The bed was also very comfy and we both sleep incredibly well all three nights no noise at all. The location is also spot on, everything is in walking distance or there is regular buses and a good taxi service near by! the parking was also safe and secure. During our stay we climbed Scarfell Pike when we got back Sharon came to see if we was ok which was a lovely touch and made us feel safe and was a special touch for us we amazingly made the summit! Sharon also recommended things to do and places to eat which is really helpful when your on holiday and not from the area, I’m a really nervous traveler and she made me feel so comfortable helping us with directions and information leaflets of things to do. The pizza place she recommend was amazing. I will 100% be recommending this hotel to everyone!

United KingdomVery little that could be done better. Our room was quite small, but adequate for our short stay, and we did book it quite late for a busy half-term week, so that was down to us rather than the B&B itself.
Very comfortable bed - we slept very well! Excellent breakfasts and service. Premises very attractively decorated and welcoming.

AustraliaThe closest parking was up a hill. Our room was tiny with sitting only for one. We would have liked to have worked in the breakfast room but it was locked. The shower was liable to scald you and it was difficult to get out because it was so tiny The mattress wall on my side had collapsed and the pillows need replacing . It would be better to have a jug of orange juice at breakfast than the tiny ration given out .As this is the most expensive of ten Bnb's we are staying at we are disappointed.
The Bnb was tastefully done and decorated
