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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomShower was a bit annoying to use. Privacy - had work going on outside. Scaffolding being put up, etc. Had to close curtains majority of the time. Top window over door had no cover/curtain. Bed was right near the front door. Houses adjacent to studio probably could see in.
Spacious and snug. Clean with all the mod cons. Andrew was very nice and informative. Brief but lovely stay.

Hong KongInside of microwave needs cleaning and the turning table seems not working. Some place to put clothes or towel on in the bathroom and a tea towel for the pantry would be better.
The location is about 20-minute walk to the city and the bus stop is just 50 meters away from where Lake Street joins St Aldates and a few buses go to the city centre. The walk to the lake recommended by Andrew is very enjoyable. The beds are comfy. We had good sleep. Check in was smooth.

United KingdomNothing, really.
The place is very comfortable and not too far from the city centre but still quiet. It's also not too far from the river so a walk with nature is close by.

PortugalThe mattress on one side of the bed had lost its support and was rather uncomfortable, but as a solo traveller, I picked the better side! As in other reviews, the walls are a bit thin, thankfully the other guests were as respectful as me...but I can imagine a noisy neighbour!
Good location, nice and quiet, just outside city centre, but very easy access via regular bus service or 20 min walk. Clean and well presented, very spacious, the underfloor heating was a treat! Andrew was quick and helpful to all enquiries. I would stay again.

United KingdomNo hob so not suitable for a prolonged stay if you want to self cater. There is a microwave oven. No TV - We weren't bothered by there being no TV but if you were travelling with children I expect this could be handy.
Lovely open and light space. Close to the centre (12 minutes walking distance). Quiet area. Bed was comfy. Lovely decor.

AustraliaSoundproofing not terrific, so at times I could hear people in the studio upstairs if I wasn't playing music and they got a bit noisy. I don't stream video from my device, so a small TV would have been a bonus, but not a deal breaker.
Location, location! Easy walk into Oxford, or catch the bus at the end of the street, which was very frequent. Close proximity to lovely walks along the Thames Path in multiple directions. Great to arrive after a long journey and have tea, coffee, and milk provided for a cuppa whilst you settle in! The studio was very comfortable and having a kitchenette is a bonus when you stay somewhere for a week. The area is also quiet compared to staying right in Oxford. The bed was comfortable and water lovely and hot, good shower. The flat stayed nice and warm, but I could turn on underfloor heating on one of the colder nights. There was a comfy pull out sofa bed for a friend that stayed for part of my visit. Mine host, Andrew, was very responsive to requests. It was great being able to park in the street with a permit, and at £10 for 24 hours, it was cheap for Oxford! I would definitely return here next time I visit Oxford.

United KingdomThe wi-fi/broadband didn't work for the first day. We were disturbed on two separate occasions in our two days by other guests knocking at the door, trying to locate their accommodation. Neither of these were the fault of the host, however they did affect our enjoyment of the studio. We were also disturbed by loud noise from other guests at the property quite late on Sunday night - again not something that the host was responsible for, and the welcome / summary sheet clearly requested that guests respect quiet times.
Great location, a lovely quiet street near good walking routes and a park. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. Andrew was very welcoming and responded quickly whenever we contacted him. The bathroom was obviously newly fitted out and to a good standard. The kitchen area is lovely, and the lighting and heating all worked really well to create a cosy atmosphere.
