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.).

AustraliaCouldn’t fault it!
We were made to feel very welcome on arrival with coffee and homemade cake provided. Room and full bathroom was private, comfortable and very clean. Parking on site ample. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Hosts Sue & Richard were friendly and helpful with local knowledge and suggestions for day trips and places to eat. We would highly recommend Walker Ground Manor. Also, a bonus for us was knowing there would be no pets in the rooms or dining area.

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at Walker Ground Manor. We took a taxi from Windermere station, and Richard was there to greet us and kindly helped us with our bags. We were also offered tea and cake which was a lovely touch and gave us a chance to relax in the conservatory after a long train journey. Our room itself was lovely with a gorgeous bathroom that had views over the neighbouring fields. There was also a small fridge available for guest use which we made the most of to store our snacks for hiking! Both Sue and Richard were wonderful hosts, Richard gave us some top tips for walks in the local area and we really enjoyed being able to request more treats for the room as Sue’s baking is excellent! They also sent us lots of information regarding the area and places to book in for dinner in advance which was so helpful given we were staying on a bank holiday. The breakfasts were fantastic and there was lots to choose from on the pre-order form, we struggled to pick as it was all so good and used delicious local produce! Overall I’d definitely recommend a stay here, and we hope to go back. The location is great for nearby pubs, shops, walks and the bus to get around, and we couldn’t fault it!

United KingdomIt’s not something that bothered me but think it’s worth people being aware the house is old. There are squeaking floorboards certainly in our room (poster bed room), the floor was noisy but really it didn’t bother us at all. If you’re precious about those things, be aware.
Location was brilliant - ideal base to explore the lakes! The breakfast was amazing. The owners are lovely and gave lots of advice!
