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 KingdomBar was a little meh but I think most ppl used the hotel to just lay their head, have breakfast and leave.
Our room was small but functional. Very clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great but over priced if you just want a bowl of cereal.

PortugalThe single room was almost the same price as the double and half the size bit was very uncomfortable for a 5 night stay. There were bigger rooms empty during our stay so why use such a small one?
We booked 2 rooms. One was ok. The other was tiny. It was for 5 nights and no room to unpack. Very disappointing.

United KingdomIt’s a studio with kitchenette but no washing up liquid/ scourer/teatowel. In the Kitchen area broken extractor fan. Window locks need work.
Nice location, parking, not far from motorway. Bathroom nice. Beds comfortable. Good value for money. Mini kitchen. On site bar.

United KingdomPaintwork in common areas and windows needs re-doing and external areas are scruffy and need attention. This is rather off-putting on arrival.
Comfortable bed, very clean and quiet room and a good shower. Microwave, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities were in the room which was useful as we were staying for a few days. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and good value. Reasonably priced bar meals were also available. Free parking on-site was available which seems to be unusual in Reading so this was a real deal-maker for us.

United KingdomThe room was very warm and although a fan was provided the windows didn't stay up and so it was difficult to get fresh air in.
Very reasonably priced, in a nice setting that is straightforward to get to from the town centre. Having a three-person room option, with three separate beds is handy and not available at many places.

FranceThe one thing I wasn’t so happy about is the detergent used on the linens,a very strong perfume,which I’m sensitive to,so would have preferred non perfumed.
The property had character, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful,and good touches like having a microwave and fridge in the room.

United KingdomStaying in another building so far from the hotel was simply annoying. The signage in the hotel is poor as well. I could not find my way back to my car from Reception and ended up walking around the building instead.
After finding the car park, I had to search for reception. When I got there the greeting was great and I was efficiently checked in. That's when it became a problem. I was walked along the street for some distance to another building which I really wasn't expecting. Now my car was in one place and I was in another. The decor in the room had seen better days, although it was clean.
