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.).

AustraliaAt the hotel there were many staff for whom English isn't their first language, so this did cause some problems at times.
Couldn't be closer to the Thames if they tried so the river pathway walk was right next door. The town was very clean and we really enjoyed the Riverside scenery and coffee shops.

United KingdomThe staff were all super friendly and helpful. The room being set straight onto the courtyard was a surprise but absolutely fine as it didn't rain when I needed to walk to the restaurant. Parking in Henley is a challenge, but the station is just a 5 minute walk away and you are able to book parking there overnight.

AustraliaEverything was great! The only thing I didn't like was leaving.
Ideally located across the road from the river, and at the edge of the shopping strip, this hotel is superbly decorated, spotlessly clean and the staff cannot do enough to oblige. The rooms are large and have comfortable furniture and beds. Bathrooms are clean, and the shower had great water pressure. Downstairs, the bar is cosy and the drawing room delightful. Outside is a courtyard with tables and chairs.... with heaters and blankets when it is chilly. I look forward to staying here again next time.

United KingdomToilet handle flushing issues. Reported and fixed right away. Leakage on morning of departure but reported at same time.
The politeness and courteousness of the staff were exceptional. Every member of staff we met were extremely welcoming and helpful. It was my Father’s 80th birthday on 18th March. The food at lunch that day was delicious and Nickill (I hope that is the correct spelling) and the team in the restaurant were wonderfully attentive and polite. Service fantastic. Breakfast the morning after also great. Bedrooms were so clean and comfortable.

United KingdomSome may find the mild quirkiness of the main building layout to be a challenge if mobility is restricted - the main building is a period house with several staircases, otherwise, there is very little to dislike.
A superbly renovated and decorated hotel that offers modern conveniences within a characterful historic building and a more recent wing overlooking Henley Rowing Club on the Thames. The thoughtful design of the spacious main wing room I booked provided everything one requires for a business trip or a longer pleasure stay: Ample built-in wardrobes, dressing table, espresso machine, and many convenient sockets to plug in electricals, computers etc. Every socket has a twin USB charger - great for phones and the many gadgets I carry with me. The bed was large and supremely comfortable, the furnishings period and tasteful, and the bathroom fitted with quality fittings, i.e. Burlington period style bath and taps. The standard of finish and excellent ergonomics - no stretching for towels or fumbling to find light switches - shows considerable thought went into the design. Dressing gowns, towels and linen were crisp, clean and a joy to use after a long journey. Breakfast and lunch were excellent and very reasonably priced, £12.50 and £16.50 respectively. Most notably, the service is outstanding - the staff were accommodating and efficient, and no request was too great an ask. Truly 5* at 3*/4* prices. Exceptional value for money.

The staff was nice and welcoming from the moment we arrived and happy to help with anything. The breakfast was really nice and definitely value for money and happy to have it included in the stay. Would highly recommend the Relais for anyone staying in Henley, and would gladly come back and stay again.
