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 StatesThe price is a bit on the high side, but maybe expected for Oxford.
The hotel is located close to the Westgate Shopping Center, and within walking distance to Oxford Engineering Science Building (Thom Building), and other colleges. The facility is clean, quiet, and comfortable.

United KingdomWindows didn't open, my absolute nightmare. Soundproofing to corridor not great. Limited options for tea and coffee..no hot chocolate or biscuits. Breakfast service day 1 pretty poor, asked for table to be cleaned and reset but ended up moving tables as no one came, even though the guy I asked was standing doing nothing. Breakfast options bit limited for the price. Park and ride bus stopped more than 10 mins walk from hotel due to roadworks, and it was raining. I'm thinking another park and ride might have got us a bit closer, but hotel website still recommended Seacourt.
Great staff on check in. Room good size, very clean, everything we needed. Beds comfy. Breakfast service good and friendly on day 2. Luggage store good facility. Easy walk to city centre.

BangladeshThere were lack of basic toiletries like hand wash or body lotion. The location is not easy to reach from bus or train station with luggages. Long narrow cobblestone roads, with uphill sections. The price was unnecessarily high.

United KingdomThe yoghurt was all low fat with only plain and one fruit choice available. The pre-cooked items were not hot, merely kept warm. The scrambled egg was very dry and tasteless - not set 'creamy' as it should be for breakfast - perhaps I should have asked for some to be cooked freshly ... The toaster did not turn out an adequately browned slice and we were requested by a notice, not to put the sliced bread through more than once!
At breakfast, there was a good selection of pre-cooked and continental items, cheese, ham etc. available and a choice of eggs could be cooked fresh on request. There was wide range of cereals with fresh fruit, pastries, breads, cakes etc., also dairy and non-dairy milks. We were given an accessible room which was spacious, very comfortable, with a large ensuite toilet/washroom/wet-room shower - very well-appointed with top notch fittings and thoughtful additions. It was such a shame that the shower had fabric curtains which finished about 30cms above the floor and the slope to the central drainage wasn't adequate to cope with the volume of water being delivered by the (excellent!) shower. This meant that the water easily escaped from the expansive specific shower area under the curtains into the toilet/washbasin area and also towards the entrance door! There was more than enough room to have designed an easily accessible shower area with water retaining screens - such an oversight in otherwise perfect accommodation for people with disabilities.

United KingdomAlthough the hotel and its facilities are excellent it was quite expensive.
The hotel is easily accessible from the station and is situated on a quiet street just around the corner from the main centre of Oxford. The staff were especially friendly and helpful.

SwedenThe breakfast was not bad, but it was not a proper hotel breakfast, quite limited. Considering the price of the stay there were a few annoying things: took long time to get warm water, no toilet brush, no liquid hand soap. I was freezing in the night although I changed the temperature to max, didn’t feel like the temperature increased at all. It would also be nice to have slippers and a bathrobe so you don’t freeze after showering.
The staff was really nice and helpful. The lobby and the room looked beautiful, I liked the furnishings.
