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 KingdomNo parking available at The White House - but was able to leave my car at The Ridings
Good sized room, modern bathroom en suite, very clean, friendly owners - however didn’t stay at The Ridings; found out en route that they had me booked into their other guest house in what appeared to be a bigger room with a double bed and double sofa bed- also a little closer to the centre of Oxford

United KingdomOur room was in the front of the house, so for every guest that entered the property it was really noisy. (even on 1:30am). So if you are a light sleeper, ask for another room. There was some electric device near our door that beeped forever in our first night! EVERY 47 SECONDS! (yeh I counted, Im a quality engineer, so believe me). It started at 06:00 am in our first night, and it woke me up very early. I spoke to the host before I left for the day, and this was solved by the second night. However, in our second night, the smoke alarm in our room was a little bit crazy! randomly beeping for no reason (I dont smoke. Neither my wife). But the smoke alarm in our room decided to beep randomly, once per our. So I slept pooorly in the second night because it kept waking me up. So, till I left the house, this wasn't sorted. The shower either had water cold like Alaska or hot like Volcano. There wasn't a mid term in it. I couldn't sort it. But this wasn't a big problem. Just a minor observation. Lucky enough it was just 2 nights in the guest house. SO if you are considering stay longer, consider asking for a room in the other areas of the house. If it wasn't for all the beeping our stay would have been alright. So I guess I can recommend the property. Just please fix all these beeping cause they are really annoying =).
The room was very clean and organised. The host was very nice and polite also (only spoke with her by phone). Location is great. You can easily walk to the city centre or get at least 3 different buses to it. So very convenient. Theres a great pub 3 minutes away walking that serve awesome food! The host also allowed us to leave our backpacks after checking out while we would be around the city for our last day, so this was very thoughtful of her.

United KingdomNo negative points at this property
We actually stayed at the owners' other guest house, Whitehouse View. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and went out of their way to assist in our travel around the city. The en-suite room was a good size, clean and comfortable, and best of all there was no noticeable traffic noise !

United KingdomNo one met, they limited themselves to communicate with me by phone. Dirty floor in the room, dirty sheet, dirty shower room, toilet. Liquid soap diluted with water
The Internet was working. I'm not sure if this can be called an advantage
