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 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):
- 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.).

Our bathroom was a little snug, however a small shelf for a make up bag would have been appreciated. Also individual packets of morning biscuits on the tea/coffee tray would have been appreciated to go with first cup of the day as there is no breakfast room. We did have breakfast everyday of our stay, in the Paperboat cafe on the Folly bridge which is on the walk into town. Sat outside on a sunny morning and inside on windy day. Perfect location and lovely choice of food.
Location, although not in the town centre is a very pleasant 10 mins walk in, there are many busses frequently passing the route should you prefer. House was very quiet, both from a residence point of view and insulation, we had no traffic noise in our front of house room. Our Rooms were very clean with service options each day.

As we were at the front of the house, our windows opened onto the street which sometimes meant it was noisy if we wanted to open them. This was, however, not a big issue and we slept well regardless.
Newton House was within a short distance from the centre of Oxford and it was an easy, straight walk of average 20 mins to get to all of the main points of interest. The rooms were quite modern and very clean and comfortable. Communication with staff was very efficient and accommodating, even allowing us to store our bags in the house outside of check in times.

Check-in was not smooth. We had made a date change, which was confirmed a few days prior. This caused some confusion at the check-in desk and resulted in a lengthy check-in process.
Newton House is very conveniently located for those who want to explore Oxford by foot. We loved the location. The bed was comfortable and, when closed, the windows blocked out the street noise. Newton House was a good choice for us.

No breakfast, as far as I could tell. The car parking is on a first-come-first-served basis. If I had a car on this occasion, I would not have found a free space when I arrived.
The location is excellent, within relatively easy walking distance of the centre of Oxford. The price was reasonable, considering the location. The room was large and comfortable.

Very friendly reception. Room spotlessly clean with all facilities as advertised and very comfortable bed. Very quiet at night. TV reception wasn't the best but as we weren't staying long it didn't really bother us. 10 - 15 minute walk into the city centre and also a bus every ten minutes.

The location was well situated to walk or get the bus into Oxford city centre. The Bed was very comfy and the room was very quiet with the room being situated at the back of the property. The en-suite bathroom was compact but made up for with the shower system. We had no problem with the car parking system at the rear of the property and was always able to secure a parking slot for the evening. when visiting Oxford again we would choose this place again.
