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 KingdomEverything about this place was lovely bar the aforementioned unfortunate encounter. We had an unpleasant run in with a glorified security guard that made it his mission to gate my family during my graduation ceremony due to an error made through no fault of our or the hosts.
It was close to the town centre. The hosts are extremely likeable and personable and took the extra effort to meet with us after an unfortunate encounter. Cleanliness was up there and it is wonderful value for money

United KingdomThe pre-charge deposit, whilst I understand why, it was not very clear and I had difficulties clarifying with the team. The money was quick to be requested, but I thought it was slow to be returned.
Very easy to get the keys, and the information was very clear and provided in good time. The keys for the parking were in the lockbox, so it was very clear on how to park.

United Arab EmiratesA grab rail and better extract in the bathroom would improve the safety and comfort. There is some morning road noise at the front so we slept with these windows closed
The furnishings were good quality and made good use of the space available.The team at Kennet were responsive to queries and the Maintenance team was quick to call by and resolve the minor issues as we familiarized ourselves with the equipment.

United KingdomThe only thing is that the road is very busy and noisy but that's Reading for you.
Absolutely spotless. Well-appointed and comfortable! Super friendly staff. Even a doorman waiting to help us when we got there. I'm an idiot and asked a stupid question about the water heating up, and a member of staff was round to the apartment in half an hour. I'm very impressed with the staff and the service! I'd thoroughly recommend staying here.

QatarManagement needs to regularly check and repair things. Like cooker only one burner was in working condition, remaining 3 are not working. The dishwasher is not cleaning the dishes properly. Few window blinds are stuck and not working. Iron is burned out and needs to be replaced. The cloth of the ironing board is to be replaced. You also have to remind the ptopery management multiple times to refund the deposit. There is no free parking and you have to pay £10 per day. You have to vacate the accommodation before 10AM. Otherwise, pay a fine of £10 per hour.
Good sized two bed apartment. There is plenty of space to roam around. Fridge, cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, utensils, crockery, iron, ironing board, everything was available. 5 minutes walk to Reading West train stations. Many desi restaurants close by. Oracle Mall is just a 10-minute walk.

The property was clean and was equipped with useful things like ironing board, mop, foldable bed with mattress and some snacking goodies as a good gesture. We loved the property and would stay here again if needed :) there’s a secured gated parking space but it’s £10 charge
