Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

Old fashioned but stylish in a gorgeous location. Sheila the proprietor couldn’t be more obliging and is a fantastic host. Home made pub food is sensational made and served by the host. Shame I had to leave early in the morning as I would have loved to have had a breakfast

United KingdomIt was like walking into someone's front room, warm, cosy and welcoming. We had not long landed from a long haul flight and were tired and hungry. The landlady, Sheila I think, was lovely, firing up the kitchen to cook us a lovely meal. The room, lovely and clean was cosy but a little cold after we had been away in a hot country, but the bed and bedding was comfortable and warm. An enjoyable short stay, we were welcomed and included and will definitely stay again if down this way. There is also a huge garden with picnic benches and kids slides etc.

United KingdomAs soon as I entered the brilliant Englands Rose I was greeted with a very warm welcome! I felt so at home. The food was hearty, and the room was great! Englands Rose is in the perfect location for easy access into Oxford, as well as the outskirts. I will definitively be returning in the future. Thank you to you all for making my stay a real pleasure, and being so welcoming. Highly recommended

United KingdomNothing that we didn’t like. Downstairs the bar and dining a little dated but this was fine for us, we felt adding a little to the charm of the place.
Shelia the host was absolutely fantastic she could not go out of her way more to help in anyway she could, treated like family friends rather than people who popped in for two days. Also the three bedroom room we stayed in has been tastefully done and there is an en-suite which we had not expected when we booked. Lovely large garden especially good if you are bringing pets.

If you are looking for a sterile regular, where no one talks to you, this is not the place. If you are looking for a unique and memorable experience, this is the place. Full service by wonderful staff. A little bit of ye olde England, great rooms with every service, a nice pub and small cosy restaurant. Good pub food. Great English breakfast or whatever you prefer,
