Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWas given a connecting room and there was more noise carry from the connecting door than desirable. As business hotels go it was all fairly standard/fine. Gold card comes with "free" premium wifi but wasn't given details of how to use it.
Got passed to second person as first couldn't check me in but second person did it fine. Room perfectly pleasant. Deluxe room decent size. Got concierge to book a taxi next day and arrived in fair time. Breakfast staff helpful and efficient.

United KingdomSadly controls for the TV in the room were not working properly - after 10 minutes of trying eventually gave up but not a major issue for our stay and therefore didn't bother reporting it at the time.
Booked as convenient for running the Reading Half Marathon. Room was very clean, staff helpful and friendly and good food available in the restaurant.

United KingdomBreakfast is a bit expensive and we arrived for the half marathon and was told that we would have some food and drink at the reception area. When we asked in the morning they said it was there at 5am and now it was £9 for a bag of water with a cereal bar. The receptionist wasn't super friendly either. I forgot a hair brush and they didn't have anything behind the reception spare and the shops are not close by.
Lovely pool area and the rooms are clean and comfy

United KingdomOn a complicated road system around Reading. I don’t see how you could visit this hotel without a car, yet you have to pay parking. No local amenities because the hotel is on a housing estate. The piped music was monotonous and sleep inducing in all the public areas and corridors, and went round on a loop so you heard the same monotony repeatedly. Apparently, they are sent a disc by a company and have to use it.
Spacious, clean, modern hotel in quiet residential area. Lovely gym and swimming pool. Majority of customers are adults.( We had no children in our group.) Very courteous staff. Excellent quality and choice at breakfast. Evening meals acceptable quality but not restaurant standard.

United KingdomWe had a slight delay in receiving our food (Dinner) apparently was due to a function being held, though we praise the staff for advising that there would be a delay in receiving our food due to this situation.
The food and the staff were good and the location to the reason why we were in the Reading area suited us.
