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 KingdomOur room was quite tired and dated - bathroom not great 😬 (although a super powerful shower!), TV didn't work, quite hot in the rooms and noisy as we were by some sort of heater/fan going outside all night.
The location is great, and the beds were pretty comfortable. Fine as somewhere for us to sleep after a group trip to Reading.

CanadaAlthough they did warn us. The noise from the bar downstairs was a bit annoying, but as hikers, we knew to put in our ear plugs and ended up having a decent sleep.
Location near the St James Way. The room was big, clean, and good for what we needed. Triple room.

SwitzerlandReally nothing to complain about . was value for money and Staff were very open and friendly . . The new starter even volunteered coffee from his private flask as he was not authorized / trained yet to use the coffee maschine in the bar.
Room was small but ok for alone travel . Location to center good and could walk every where I needed to go . Interesting Ale House pub on London Road . Hotel was not serving breakfast. Not a problem as lots of cafes nearby .

United KingdomNoise levels of the bar downstairs, was only made aware after room had been booked. I didn't think it would be an issue but it was really loud and prevented a good night's sleep. I heard alot of noise until 5am I don't know if this was the bar or room next door but didn't get a good night's sleep regardless
It is a unique building in a good location, very convenient as its close to Reading Town centre

United KingdomNot all of the rooms have been refurbished so pictures are a bit misleading. Walls are very thin, could hear the conversation next door. Furniture is a bit old, like staying at your nans for the weekend.
The room was clean and spacious, had coffee and tea making facilities, bathroom was clean. Close enough to the town/train station. TV worked.

AustraliaMy room was single, which is what I had booked, but the window looked out straight into the window of an adjoining building only about 6 feet away. My room had a tiny desk, but no chair. Room lighting was poor. No breakfast available.
Well located; attractive and elegant property with a good vibe. Staff very helpful; food in the bar/restaurant excellent and well-priced. (Munchees, 5 minutes walk away in town does an excellent breakfast, and the best coffee I have yet had on this visit to the UK)
