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.).

A bit noisy as it’s on the main road but it’s handy and the location is amazing so it’s about tradeoff
The property was clean and was equipped with useful things like ironing board, mop, foldable bed with mattress and some snacking goodies as a good gesture. We loved the property and would stay here again if needed :) there’s a secured gated parking space but it’s £10 charge

There was an unpleasant smell from en suite bathroom but it must be a plumbing issue as bathroom was spotless.
We had a great stay. Clean and comfortable and hosts were very accommodating in allowing us an early check in at short notice and adding an extra night.

United Kingdom1 review9.0“Great place to stay, all the home from home comforts you need, located close to the town centre and bus and rail links”- • Solo traveller
- • Penthouse Apartment
- • Stayed 5 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
The property is situated in quite a busy area of town ( just off the Oxford road and IDR) so there is a bit of traffic noise, even with the windows shut. I didn’t hear it other than in the early hours when you would hear the odd cat or motorbike. However, I live in a semi rural location normally so this could just have been that I wasn’t used to hearing any traffic.
Great facilities, with everything you needed away from home. Lovely extras such as dishwasher tablets, washing pods, milk, cereals and biscuits. The flat was spacious and felt homely but still modern. It was really warm and each room has heater floors, allowing you to adjust the temperature to your liking. It felt very safe with cctv in all communal areas and motion sensor lighting. The no noise at night rule meant the Appartments were quiet and felt safe. Location wise it’s situated close to the town centre and rail and bus links. Town is just a couple of minutes walk and it took me 10 minutes to walk to the main station. Plenty of restaurants near by and a handy Sainsbury’s local just 2 minute walk away which was great for my week stay. I believe there are larger supermarkets close too but this one served me well on my walk back to the flat

I would say that visitors who have an aversion to noise might struggle with being next to the main road as there is some noise from the traffic but it didn't bother me. The hosts also put large fans in the room so you have an option of closing the windows at night and popping the fan on if necessary. It certainly didn't put me off.
Smooth self-check-in, and it was very kind of the hosts to supply milk and washing tabs as well. The rooms are bright and airy and I had a nice sleep in the comfy clean beds. Communication with the hosts was great as well. I've stayed here a few times and it's a great location being ten minutes from Reading city centre where there are plenty of shops and restaurants and places to walk.
