How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLocation. Free parking. Safe area. Products, shower gel etc. Kettle with T&C facilities. easy communication with owner. Hanging rail and shelves. Decent central lighting.
Misleading and mis information given in description of property. Basics such as inaccessible electrical plugs, either too high up, hidden behind chest of drawers or under sink unit covered by shelf. Winter weight duvet in middle of hot summer. No bedside table or light. No instructions for use of electric shower. Mirror in the wrong place. Macerated toilet which ‘plays up’ is very noisy and needs turning off to stop the noise and get it working again. Seriously. When you are charging people to use your property, everything needs to be working properly. Wifi didn’t work because although the password was given, no info on which wifi code to use. I am responding to the owners reply to my negative feedback. Firstly, the push lights above the bed did not work. Secondly, the plugs above the kettle you mention were too high up to use in any practical way and I would challenge you to try drying your hair, least of all stand on the bed to plug in the hair dryer..Not exactly safe. Thirdly, if you know the toilet is making a whirring sound and needs to be turned off to stop it then do the decent thing and let people know in your main advert, along with the plugs which are inaccessibly placed high up, near the ceiling on the wall above the kettle.
Thank you for your review Sue. This has come after you asked me for a full refund for 2 reasons. 1) being that the toilet carried on whirring in the morning and 2) you said there were no accessible plugs apart from behind the chest of drawers or in the sink unit. I explained that the macerator has been looked at and the man explained that they do randomly whir. This unit is 18 months old and has a lifespan of 8-10 years. There is a card inside the studio explaining that it can be turned off, if required, by the switch. it isn’t “not working” they are just a temperamental item which I wish I didn’t have to use but I do. I also pointed out (and sent you pics) that there were extra electric plugs above the kettle which you obviously didn’t realise as you have now changed your complaint to “the plugs are too high”. The tog for the bed is indeed a summer tog and I bought new pillows today as you said yours were lumpy. There are 2 “push” lamps above the bed in the wall you seem to have missed too. I genuinely am sorry you weren’t happy and, as we discussed in private, I simply don’t feel I could give you a FULL refund because the toilet whirred in the morning. I’m sorry you couldn’t work out which WiFi to choose but my number is in the studio asking you to let me know if there’s anything I can help with and it’s also written in the studio!

Tad noisy with traffic 'till about midnight. Replacing the front double glazing panel may help. Overall a good overnight stay.

Verified reviewThis is a good value for money, clean and comfortable space for a single person stay
I would have appreciated meeting the host. Furthermore, they said I could call if I had any questions but then did not pick up when I tried to call around check-in time because I had trouble locking the door since I did not know I needed to lift the handle to be able to(this is not something I am used to). If that would be the case it would have been better to state ”I will be unavailable by phone from x to x, but send me a message and I will do my best to find a moment to respond”. Also, this is definitely not a place you want to stay two people in since the toilet is right next to the bed without any enclosure and also has a sump pump so loud it will wake up the other person if you need the toilet at night.
Many thanks for your review August and thank you for choosing to stay with us. I’m really sorry you didn’t know to lift the handle. I will leave instructions on this moving forward.

Verified reviewThe small studio was very clean and tidy. It had everything needed for a 1 night stay, and it is in a convenient location being a short walk from the train station and town center along with the riverside. The hosts made me feel very welcome. On this occasion I stayed here for day 2 of the Henley Festival. It made it so much easier and more relaxing rather than worrying about how to get home at the end of the night. I would certainly be interested in booking this again and would recommend it especially for anyone travelling solo.
Thank you very much Steven. I’m really glad you had a great time and would love you to return

Nothing. I should be clear that the property is very small and basic, but this is clear when you book. If you just need somewhere to sleep that is clean and convenient then this place is great

Warned that the macerating toilet was sometimes malfunctioning! Tiny space, suffocatingly hot.
I’m so very sorry your husband wasn’t happy during his stay Julia. As explained privately, there is a fan in the room (pictured) which he must have mistook for a heater but I will leave clearer instructions in future. The macerator will sometime whir randomly but this can be turned off as per instructions. It works perfectly fine but the random noises can indeed be disturbing and for that I apologise again.
