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 KingdomArrived slightly before 1600hrs and was clearly told no check-in until the 1600hrs. The room allocated was a single, but was very small with only approximately 0.7m between the bed and the wall with nowhere to stow a small travel case. The shower worked upon arrival, but the fittings were broken and required careful management. The shower was cold in the morning unfortunately. The bed actually had a very slight slope left to right, but I did manage to get a satisfactory nights sleep.
Reception staff were friendly. Only 15 minutes walk to Reading town centre.

We arrived very early 1130 and the guy in reception was brilliant and let us book in with 1 of our rooms (we were heading to Englefield for Richard Ashcroft) and we arrived back at the hotel 0100 the next morning and as promised he was waiting to give us the other keys for the other room, beds are clean and comfy and the parking is 👌

United KingdomIt needs gutting. Does not feel safe. The room was OK but soooo small. Beds were uncomfortable and only 1 pillow per bed.
The location worked for us and the price was cheap. It kinda had to be though as the standard was very low.

United KingdomIt has the feeling of a cheap bedsit. Walls marked, chipped and broken tiles on the bathroom floor (which could easily cause injury), loo seat unstable. Bed had a dip in the middle (but otherwise comfortable and sheets perfectly clean).
We knew it was going to be very run down having read the reviews. We booked it fully realising this, because it came at a budget price, was conveniently located, had free parking and WiFi and we only needed to crash after a gig, so would be spending minimal time there. The parking and WiFi didn't disappoint, the check-in and check-out were trouble free and staff friendly.

United KingdomTotally run down hotel, plaster coming off the walls in the room, filthy carpets, continuous flickering light in both the room and stairwell, a shower who's temperature you couldnt control (it was a actually scorching), the soap dispenser congealed, and then around midnight I they decided to move the furniture around upstairs. Incredible.
The receptionist was quite pleasant to talk to on checking in.

United KingdomPaid at check in and also through the booking.com website so had to void a charge, now waiting g for money to be credited. Room is very dated and decor in a poor condition. Both shower heads were awful and didn't really do the job needed. Curtain was too narrow for the window so couldn't really block out all the light. No breakfast served service but was pre informed.
Parking at the property is good and location from town is ideal.
