4.6 / 5 4.6 / 5 john [washington, GB] on 30/11/2008 (Solo business traveller)

When I first saw the African Queen on line, it looked querky and obviously very different from any other hotel, it did not disappoint. Very warm and cosy and like being at home, only on a boat hotel, excellent food

None

Overall: Made very welcome by Andy & Bonny who own the boat,dinner was excellent and very good food/value for money. Will definately stay when next in Reading area, was only 4 miles from my meeting the following morning  (107660057)

The welcome at the African Queen was extremely warm and friendly, and Andy was happy to help us with anything we needed. Our bedroom was very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We will definitely recommend the African Queen to our friends, and hope to visit again soon.

Overall: Very enjoyable, a really different hotel.  (107762908)

Unique hotel right on the Thames. Lovely landscape around. Check Mapledurham house. Quiet. A place to be. Andy the owner is great. And the whole thing is authentic. No aircondition, which is great, just fresh air above the water...The pub close by (Pack Saddle) is great - from there it is a 100% romantic walk down to the boat. England and Oxfordshire at its best there. I will come back. From Reading station out there a taxi is about 8 GBP - worth the trip if you have anything left for a real friendly, relaxing and clean atmoshere in the green hills of England.

Hotel Boat The African Queen is very unusual but very pleasing set in the most wonderful surroundings. The host is very helpful, friendly and welcoming. Food is plentyful and tasty.

Overall: We had a fabulous time, obviously this is a boat so accomodation is compact but clean and comfortable.  (99787620)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
