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 KingdomNoisy dog until midnight, shower screen was not secure, had to check in at the hotel next door. The mirror on the wall was very wonky .... why did no one even bother to straighten it? Bit of rubbish shoved in between the sections of the divan bed. Very basic and unloved, but a comfy bed. The entrance and stair well smelt of cigarette smoke.
Comfy bed. Towels. New carpet. Breakfast included, although that was in the hotel next door.

This is awkward to answer because the management transferred me to their adjacent Park International hotel so I did not in fact stay at The Lawn. But that was fine for me., especially as The Lawn Hotel does not have a lift and the Park of course does (and I am 85 years old and a little dog with me).

United KingdomThe bathroom and other fixtures were showing signs of age - the shower curtain was rusty The TV had NO streaming services at all so my decision to leave me laptop and HDMI lead at home was a mistake
Whilst we booked the Lawn Hotel on both occasions we have be accomdated in the neighbouring Parkside Inernational so can't really comment on the Lawn. The Parkside is OK. It's on the A4 and has a large free car park. If you book for the Lawn you get breakfast included. The room was a decent size with a double and single bed in it (we'd booked a twin) and the beds were quite good. The cooked to order breakfast was good. I would come again

SpainWe had problems with the key card. On two separate occasions we had to go back to reception because it didn’t work
The room was spacious with plenty of storage room and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was good. The reception staff were very helpful and when the key card didn’t work, they came to the room to check that it worked, after they had re-activated it.

United KingdomBathroom and the smell when entering the dining room
I was put in the next door Hitel Parkside .. it has a lift and they thought it was quieter for me and my Whippet dog . Both hotels are undergoing renovation that is very clear .‘outside looks a bit of a mess . The rooms and the bed was very clean , liners over pillows and mattress . But it’s clear the renovation needs to carry on. The bathroom had obviously been scrubbed. But the bath was chipped and the shower head was fixed and a bit drippy . But everything worked .. TV was fine.‘everything was cleaned each day .. I was made very welcome as was my dog ! I could fetch breakfast and eat in my room . They insisted to clean up afterwards Tea coffee etc more than adequate .. for £75 a night inkl vollenglish breakfast and incl cost for the dog .. really good value ..

United KingdomWe were booked to stay at the Lawn but found a well hidden sign suggesting we should check in at the neighbouring Parkside. Checkin in lady was efficient but a little distant as were all the staff apart from the very friendly cleaners. The fixtures were tired - yellowing light over the bathroom mirror, silicone coming away from the joints. It seems to be impossible to get Decaff coffee in the building - neither the rooms or the restaurant offer it. The shower was good but there was nothing to explained how it worked so my lady, who likes a warm shower finished up with a cold one because she turned the knob the logical but incorrect way. I was suprised that the towels were renewed after the first night (even though we didn't need them to be) but the plastic "glasses" in the room weren't washed or replaced
Massive car park welcomes you on arrival - a real bonus in a town where hotels charge to park. We were booked into the Lawn which seems smaller but stayed at the Parkside. We had a good sized room - the twin we booked became a single and a double. The wifi was excellent throughout the building and the streaming TV worked a treat. Breakfast was good but a little wierd as the offer was Full English or Vegetarian English with little choice although, as we'd booked at the Lawn that was included in the price - if I'd been asked to pay £13.50 each per night for the breakfast this review would have been very different. The bacon had been pre-cooked and kept warm and so dried and the sausages were cheap but the rest was good The beds were OK but nothing special

United KingdomIn the morning I asked my Mum to get us a table in the restaurant. She was given menus with prices on she was told we had to pay for breakfast. I understood that I had paid for Bed and Breakfast in the price but rather than make a fuss we left. In hindsight of course, I should have shown my booking confirmation to the restaurant staff.
We booked The Lawn Hotel but actually stayed next in the hotel next door Parkside International that I have stayed in a few years ago. It was clean and smart and the front desk team were lovely and helpful. It was a hot, muggy day in Reading and a chap on the front desk found us a fan which made us much more comfortable. Thank you..

Great location with free parking. We walked to Reading festival and back but could have also got buses there. Room was good and bed was very comfortable. Lots of towels, toiletries, coffee and tea bags which was great. Breakfast was fantastic, just what we needed after the festival!
