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'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):
- 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...).

We had a superior room which I paid extra for, Some of the floor tiles in our bathroom were broken and the swimming pool is somewhat small. The view from out superior room was looking over a building site I’m only pleased we stayed Friday afternoon and Saturday so no one was working!
The breakfast was very good. Staff very good and most helpful.

Very small bedroom and bathroom. Aircon didn't work, so the lady at reception kindly deducted a drink off our bill as we checked-out, which we appreciated .
Great location. Near to the motorway, and also the Oxford Park and Ride. Complimentary bottles of water in the bedroom. Iron and ironing board in the room. Nice swimming pool. Leisure facilities.

Couldn’t be better. There was a heavy footed person upstairs- beyond the control of the staff though.
Fantastic service from the staff. Very well organised hotel. Big shout out to Sam on reception who was so warm and welcoming. He also helped with our heavy suitcases.

We needed to take 15 min bus ride to reach the center. However, the hotel was close to very beautiful nature and neighborhood.
I liked that we got cookies and coffee at the room, the room was warm, we had a bathtub and there was a shared pool and sauna.

Rooms were tired. Tiny bathroom with rust showing on the bath at the top edge. But at least it had a bath which I like. Could hear neighbours but not the traffic as at back of hotel. No marmalade at breakfast.
Situated on the Oxford ring road at the top end of Woodstock Road. There’s a frequent bus service into the centre of Oxford from the rear entrance which takes about 15 minutes. It runs until 11:30pm. Nesoresso machine and nice coffee and tea in room. And an iron. Breakfast was good.

- • Group
- • Superior Double Room and single bed
- • Stayed 1 night
Absolutely no reason to have a price for parking, maybe we should also pay extra for having a bed in the room, maybe a bit more for having a bathroom? Parking is part of the facilities a hotel provides. The room was close to some noisy machine outside that was turning on and off randomly, not too loud or annoying but still noticeable. Toilet seat had stains from a blue toilet gel.
Descent hotel and typical hotel room. No issues with check in and check out. A nice Oxford keychain gift was also provided, which i appreciate. Generally a good experience, and can suggest for a quick visit to the city.

The pool is tiny, the steam room had no steam and both the sauna and steam room were very small .... it was tight for 4 people. But we didn't go for the 'spa' so weren't too bothered.
Clean and modern. The TV wasn't working initially and someone came to fix it promptly. Breakfast was lovely and there was a huge choice.

On check in we were asked to check our car in too and pay £6 to park in the hotel's car park. They then issued us with a code so that we could exit through the car park's barrier. We thought this was a bit off. However, on exiting the next day, we found that the car park's barrier went up automatically and we didn't need a code to get out. Money under false pretences? The prices of alcohol in the bar were extortionate
The room was smallish but comfortable. Ideal for a night's stay

Pool was too small and paying for the carpark was not acceptable when you’ve paid enough in hotel costs it should be included, where else are you going to park? Noise in the hotel at night was not acceptable either, our room was next to a 50th party at 3.10 in the morning we were woken.
Breakfast was nice
