Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Room was not ready until 90 minutes after check in! Reason given was that they were busy. I felt we were treated more poorly because we used booking.com as they kept alluding to “how the room was booked”. In fairness we were offered a free drink but this was really bothersome. There was a green light on all night that was shining in our eyes. Bed on the firm side.
Clean and new, fresh room, room was reasonably sized with good shower and bathroom, nice view

No negative comments, it was the perfect stay!
The room was in a marvellous location in the middle of Oxford and I was very kindly given an upgraded room which meant I had a lovely view of Oxford castle from my window. The facilities were clean, comfortable and modern and the room itself was very spacious. The staff were also very friendly and professional.

Restaurant a bit cramped in serving area for breakfast. Limited hot food buffet, a little not very hot either. At this price point I’ve had a lot better. That said the coffee machine makes the best coffee I’ve had from one.
Clean modern comfortable room with aircon. 6 foot bed 👍

The self-service breakfast area was very cramped. I had to ask for a teapot as none were provided - unbelievable for a 4-star hotel in England! A disagreement between two members of staff took place in full view & within earshot of customers eating breakfast - very unprofessional.
Easy to walk to from the railway station. Located in a quiet area, but very close to the town centre. The staff were very pleasant.

Booking.com states that this hotel has parking and it does not, only for blue badge holders. This was frustrating as I had booked this hotel specifically for the parking. We had to park in the shopping centre which is not far away but was at an additional cost (£38 for 24hr) and I didn’t expect this.
The hotel was lovely - there are no complaints with regards to the rooms!
