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):
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 KingdomRichard was so welcoming and lovely, went above and beyond to help us celebrate a birthday with a drink on the house! The bed was comfy and room was big and lovely (amazing bathroom in the luxury room!), breakfast was delicious and the homemade cakes were a lovely touch. Good location, just a few mins walk from the train station and short walk into town.

Complimentary cake everyday was a lovely touch. Parking was easy, the room was comfortable and clean. Could not fault our stay at the Hideaway, a lovely weekend getaway. Would not hesitate to book again. 10/10

United KingdomBedroom ever so slightly small for 2 people but it was a Mini Double so as expected. Otherwise, really nothing to fault.
Breakfast exceeded expectations, is just as fab as all the reviews say. Slice of cake every morning to take away for the day is a lovely extra touch as well. Staff are so friendly, welcoming and available for advice and recommendations on how to get to places etc. Location is just minutes from the train station and the centre of Windermere and a leisurely walk to Bowness. Great value for money, we had a lovely stay.

United Kingdom- Really can't think of anything we didn't like! - No lift so probably not suitable for people with mobility issues
- Very warm, friendly, attentive, hospitable staff (thank you so much!) - Breakfast (lots of options, huge portions, they gave us daily cake as well!) - also the breakfast room is beautiful - Lounge room next to the breakfast room is also really cosy & spacious - Close to Windermere train station but very quiet - We didn't drive but there seemed to be quiet a few parking spaces - Really cosy room, great quality tea / coffee / hot chocolate in the room - Lots of information / tour brochures for Lake District in the lobby - Really pretty much everything!

Very welcoming and friendly staff, we received home-made cake on arrival and at breakfast each day very yummy! Room was spotless and just as advertised, ample parking and great location, set back in a quiet street away from the hustle bustle but close enough to all the amenities. Breakfast was top notch, produce served was really good quality and consistent each day.
