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 KingdomThere is no parking on site and very little available space on the side roads nearby. The park and ride is only about 10 minutes walk away so we were able to park there so not a major problem.
Good communication around collecting keys etc. Very clean. Good to have the lounge space. Kitchen very spacious. Really good location, within 10 minutes of Oxford Station and 15 minutes of the centre of town.

United KingdomLack of utensils in kitchen-we cooked at home one evening and struggled with utensils Also felt that there were too many emails from the staff team-no sooner had we got there we were being told about time to get out/what we may be charged for etc. All of us felt the same and said it felt like we were not being trusted The curtain rail was broken on our arrival and we took a photo and let you know-I then had a stream of communications about this over our stay. We are a group of 8 professionals who studied in Oxford-we meet annually in different cities and this has not happened before.
Location and large lounge/dining area for us to gather

United KingdomNo lock on bathroom door. Would be great if there was a downstairs toilet especially when there's a large group staying. Allocated parking spaces were not available so had to find alternative spaces.
Location - being close to city centre and station. Plenty of room for 6 adults. Whole property was really clean and had well equipped kitchen.

CanadaThe parking for two vehicles is on street parking, clearly signed "one hour parking only, no return within one hour". I was assured any and all parking tickets would be covered but it wasn't a good feeling. There is a parking lot close, that we didn't investigate. The freezer was so in need of defrosting the door didn't even close, so the first thing we had to do was try to remove some ice and the kitchen has limited equipment for actually cooking. The bathroom has no lock on the door, so make sure you know the people you're staying here with!
The location is fantastic. Easy to walk to the center yet quiet at night. Great rooms with really comfortable beds.

United KingdomIt was difficult to work out where to park when we arrived. It could have been clearer that we were allowed to use the car park behind the property. Welcome information with passwords, information about recycling etc. would have been very useful.
Beautiful comfortable house in a good location. Ideal for 9 people.

MexicoNo parking. The name “Central Free Parking” strongly suggests they have parking. My husband rented it because it appeared to have parking. There is no free parking. Maybe 6 spaces within 4 blocks and they require you move the car hourly. They gave us one roll of loo paper for 7 people for two days so we went out and bought our own. They should have tea towels for the kitchen
Great location. Charming house The cleaners were late and when they finished the place was ok but the garden table was still cluttered and the cleaning was sloppy

United KingdomIt advertised free parking which is why we booked it but it did not exist within easy walking distance of the property . We eventually found parking after driving around and around but 10 mins walk away . When arriving in the dark with 2 toddlers, a baby and elderly relatives with mobility problems , this was extremely stressful. On arrival we turned the oven on to heat up some pizzas - the oven was very dirty and produced lots of smoke setting off the smoke alarms - again - very stressful with toddlers, baby and elderly relatives . The kitchen was poorly equipped. Underneath the sofa cushions and the sofas there was a lot of debris- hadn’t really been cleaned properly
It was centrally located and within walking distance of Central Oxford. Beds were comfortable

SpainThe photos do not reflect reality, they have done a good marketing job because the house is not worth it. Keep in mind that it only has one bathroom and it is small, so it is very insufficient for 4 rooms. Dirty house, musty smell in the sheets, broken doors that don't close, very uncomfortable beds... I don't recommend it at all.

United KingdomThere is a parking space for a single car but it was a little confusing where we were allowed to park. Also the front two bed rooms were a little noisy due to the traffic - but that is to be expected as the property is on a main road.
The property was very well equipped, clean with plenty of space. Correspondence with owner was absolutely brilliant.
