How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing at all.
Forge House is situated in the beautiful town of Wallingford. It is just a few minutes' walk to the centre of town. The house itself is so stylish with a nod to Agatha Christie and the art deco era. The house has excellent facilities and is very comfortable. The host was very helpful and greeted on arrival.

Nothing really...
The apartment was very central to Wallingford, and the facilities were excellent, with a very good TV (inc. Amazon video and Netflix), a coffee machine and everything else we needed. There was plenty of parking available nearby, both overnight on-street near the house and for daytime in a public car park (about 200 yards way). Lots of information about the town and surroundings, transport, resaurants etc.

Stunning little property. The furnishings and decor are beautiful and the house is immaculate - even has a lovely little garden which was perfect for a morning coffee. Location was spot on, too, and the host very pleasant indeed. Will definitely stay again all being well.

We were told of a damp issue on small bedroom which was being treated with sealant, but I guess the set back was the bed sheets smelled musty.
The flat was very well designed and comfy. Very nice shower. Located right in centre of town next to restaurants bars and big Waitrose. Lovely little back yard to sit in as well.

Visited in the summer. Lovely place to stay, thoughtfully decorated with everything we needed. Hosts were friendly & helpful and communicated well. Great location close to the river and all the amenities of the town. It was nice to have our own little outdoor area to sit out.

The games, TV and whole themed Agatha Christie apartment was a big hit. The owners had put a lot of thought and detail into the place and the rooms were beautifully done.

What a treat staying here was. I have family in the area and was staying for a wedding. Having visited many times staying with family this was a gem of a find for a longer stay. Glorious decor. Extremely clean. All the little extras you need like plenty of Toiletries and extra towels something hotels always lack. Welcoming host who helped deal with a minor issue that turned out to be nothing but he arrived and dealt with an error on my part swiftly and on a sunday! I would definitely recommend this place to stay such a fun beautiful stay. We will most definitely be back

The bathroom was very musty/damp smelling. Parking. The garden chairs and table were very dirty,we cleaned them. Maybe other guests haven't used them ?
The host was very welcoming. There was everything you needed equipment wise such as kitchen utensils and washing facilities. The decor is very tasteful. There is a small garden area. It is opposite a pub,which we don't mind as we like to hear happy noises, but some others may wish to consider this . The Town is a very short walk away ,and the river. All in all we were happy with where we stayed.

Could have done with hand towels as well as the large bath towels (eg for hair washing). Maybe an omission, we should have asked. Garden chairs could have been a bit cleaner. There was an unfinished painting patch in one bedroom. Flat was beautiful so details stood out a bit. Feels uncharitable mentioning it as otherwise very lovely flat. Would still return. Would have otherwise given 10 out of 10.
Beautiful decor
