Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThe kitchen knives are very dull and could do with replacing. Hard to cut a water melon. 😆 It would be great if the owners would install an Nespresso coffee machine. I have a small machine that I often travel with but would be nice to save the bother.
Hi quality apartment perfectly situated just a few minutes walk from my son’s student house and a short drive from my daughter. Perfect for me to stay when passing thorough Reading. So much better for me to have a home where we can socialise rather than a hotel room.

United KingdomThere was no dinning table in our flat due to size but the coffee table was ok.
The resources you provided i.e - the soap, creams, hand wash, shower gel and shampoo. The large amount of tea bags, sugar and coffee. The kitchen resources were just right as well. Quiet area to stay in. Comfortable bed.

TurkeyWe had an amazing stay! The house is conveniently located near bus stops with direct routes to the city center, which take just 7–10 minutes. There are also Tesco Express and Co-Op stores conveniently situated right across the street. Being on a quiet side street rather than the main road was a big plus for us. The house was exceptionally clean, exceeding my expectations as someone who values cleanliness. Our host, Stephanie, was incredibly kind and quick to respond to all our inquiries. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook this place if I visit Reading again!

United KingdomIt is a personal thing, but I find the beds too squishy.
Super clean, comfortable flat, easy to walk or get bus to town centre. Convenience stores very close, Kitchen has all the equipment and facilities needed. Very good communications from the management team, even when I had to do some messing around with dates. Have stayed here before, and would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThere is lots of information re check in, deposits etc, and these messages come in a string, attached to one email, so it looks like you've had the same message several times. Just have to scroll all the way down to find the latest attachment - not a deal breaker, just a bit confusing at first. Bed a bit too soft and like being on a bouncy castle, but I know that's personal taste. I'd happily stay here again.
Spotlessly clean, convenient base for us, easy to get bus into town centre. Parking space is a bonus. It's contactless check in, but staff on phone were helpful when needed to check details. We'll provided with little touches like cleaning products that make a stay more comfortable.

United KingdomThe only issue I had was no hot water in the main sink in the kitchen, other than that it was perfect, and the TV remote was very slow (maybe some new batteries will solve this!)
Really loved this property! It felt so homey and welcoming with everything you needed provided to ensure you had a comfortable stay! Great location and parking on a driveway which is rare for this area of Reading!

United KingdomI regret to inform you of two issues encountered during my stay. Firstly, the noise from the heater in the bedroom disrupted my sleep quality on the first night, then I turned off the heater on the second night and I got the perfect sleep quality but a bit cold. Secondly, there was a lack of hot water from the second night until the morning of my departure.
There are lots of things I can tell, a super comfy bed, cleaning facilities, efficient problem-solving action, great location, and a good host.

United KingdomIt was so comfortable and cosy that I never wanted to go out so never saw much of Reading.
Very stylish and modern immaculately kept property. Very warm and cosy. Everything was of the highest quality. Good location with good parking. Very quiet as I never heard any of the neighbours through out the 3 days I stayed.
