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 KingdomSome oddities such as the lever on the sink tap being missing. If you are at the front of the property on a Saturday night it could be quite noisy. Maybe ask for a back room if you can.
The staff are friendly and will help you out if you need anything. The room is comfortable and tastefully decorated.

United KingdomShared bathroom wasn't always clean. Would be great to have handwash provided in the shared bathroom: I know there is a sink in the bedroom and soap provided but it isn't so great not to wash hands properly before leaving the bathroom and isn't hygienic for door handles/light switches etc.
Staff were super friendly. Location great for getting into the city centre by bus. Room was cosy.

Welcoming host, charming room (we stayed in 'Chelsea' room), bus into the centre of Oxford just a few steps away from the doorstep.

United KingdomShower wasn't great (electric shower and not v powerful) but that might just be a water pressure issue. Continental breakfast was a little bit limited.
Very conveniently located, comfortable room with everything you need for a night or two. V useful to be able to leave bags there after check out to collect later.

United KingdomMould on the wall above the bed, windows full of condensation. Needs a deep clean (skirting boards, moulding on doors was dusty, carpet on stairs dirty). The room needs another bedside lamp on the far side of the room as I bashed my leg on the end of the bed during the night (only a very small gap between a chair and the end of the bed to squeeze through) which in the dark was difficult.
It had everything we needed for an emergency stay near John Radcliffe Hospital at a fair price.

United Kingdom-check-out time is a little early , it would be nice to be able to stay and relax until 11am or midday
-very clean, fresh and modern -very warm, had a radiator next to my bed which was lovely! -good bathroom - very big with a deep bath and good shower pressure. Usually rooms with ensuites/private bathrooms mean the bathroom is the size of a cupboard, but this was very spacious -excellent communication from hosts , asked many questions beforehand and they always replied promptly and politely -parking outside included , felt my car was safe being very close to the accomodation rather than an outlying car park or street -summertown is a nice area of Oxford; the hotel was quiet at night which is essential for me
