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 KingdomThere were no bedside tables - I know there isn't much space but you could definitely put a very small stand by the bed for a glass & mobile phone. Also would have been good to have a small table / box in the shower room to put towels on
Breakfast was excellent and great value. Loved the separate cottages and the river location.

United KingdomThe rooms are a nice size, we had 3 rooms in total, two were ground floor as requested and the quad room was on the first floor. Our bathroom in our room was compact and the toilet bowl had brown stains that had obviously gotten worse over months, it was clean, but on first appearance, it wasn't great. The extractor fan made a racket when the light was turned on, again, didn't bother us, but could do with some maintenance. Our room had a bath tub which was a bonus :-) Dad's room, was bigger and had a walk in shower. All looked clean and tidy. My sister had the quad room but I don't know what that looked like, but heard no complaints. There was plenty of toiletries in the bathroom and plenty of tea coffee etc in the room, a nice touch, as most rooms only have enough for 1 drink each - and when you like a cuppa - it's nice not to have to ask for more :-) The B&B only provides breakfast at the weekends, but there is a cafe next to the pub in the same grounds, but didn't open until 10:00 so we had to find another place to have breakfast - the one we found, we would NOT use again. The staff at the pub are super friendly, work really hard and are a welcome change to some we've encountered. The food selection is good, and the portions are large. Definitely worth the money. We love the fact that this venue is right on the river, so we could sit in the garden next to the river, feed the swans etc. You can also hire boats and pedalos from the hire place next door. I would highly recommend The Riverside.

United KingdomIt was on the ground floor next to a car park which was fine but because the blinds were roller blinds everyone could see in - there were lots of people walking past - so if you were getting changed the blinds had to be down. Slatted blinds would work better. The table had food on it in the pub when we sat down and this was not wiped away - the food was just brought and handed to us and we had to wipe the food away ourselves.
Food was served quickly in the pub, bed was confortable and it had a good shower.

United KingdomThe only downside which is solely our situation and nothing actually wrong with the place was the drop into the Thames in the outside seating area and it was only an issue cause we had our 16 month old with us so were on our toes the whole time making sure he didn’t yeet himself over, our next visit will be without kids so we can relax and enjoy the view!
We weren’t expecting anything like what we found at The Riverside! The views, location and room were outstanding!! We wish we could have been staying longer than one night! I accidentally spilled compact makeup on the carpet of the room and the staff were lovely about it which I appreciated as I already felt terrible!

We enjoyed our stay and it is located close to many nearby attractions. The accommodation was good and clean.
