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 KingdomMy stay at this cosy apartment was very comfortable - the location, amenities, and cleanliness were all great. It's perfect for solo travellers and couples who need a longish term self-catered stay. The hosts provided clear and helpful instructions for checking in and out and the neighbourhood itself is safe, quiet, and well-connected to the university/city centre, with the bus stop at a 10-min walk.

The property is in a great location and easy to either walk into town or jump on a bus. The bus service in Oxford is very good and there is a regular service too and from the property. You could always jump on one of the Hire Scooters that are dotted around, if you are feeling brave!! We enjoyed having the lounge space to relax in after a full day of sightseeing. The addition of the parking place is very helpful if you are travelling by car as Oxford has a lot of permit parking restrictions around. Bed was very comfortable. The property is in a very quiet and safe area. We would definitely book again when returning to Oxford which I imagine we will do as it is so lovely to visit.

United KingdomA spacious & cosy property. We found all what we needed in it! The bed is big and comfortable enough for 2 adults plus a little kid sleeping together. Cleanliness of the toilet is acceptable. Shower is strong and hot enough. A few minutes walking to bus stop which is very convenient even if you don’t drive. There are supermarkets nearby as well.

Easy access to central Oxford with parking. The host left clear and good information in regards to how to obtain the keys and parking permit. It was a very hot day the day we arrived and the fan was not working but it was quickly replaced for us. Day of departure was running slightly late as check out time is 10am which is a bit early we would have preferred a 11.00 check out time like other properties but the host was ok with us leaving slightly later.

United KingdomAppeared clean, but only on the surface - areas such as the living room couch had a very distinctive “odd” unclean smell (cousin covers need a wash), the bedding (specifically the outer blue one) wasn’t clean, radiators in the bathroom had dust, which was annoying to not have a place to hang towels - I’m allergic to dust so I notice when I get skin flare-ups that a location or area I may have been wasn’t sanitary enough. The oven was also very oily and dirty (maybe last visitors didn’t clean), but even so, it showed the lack of cleaning that is done in the apartment - all surface level. The cleanliness is really the only downfall - along with storing expired (upon inspection) food items, that was also upsetting considering I would of liked to give a higher score if more attention to detail was present.
Was not too far away from the centre, or local attractions.

United KingdomKitchen bin was a waste paper basket. Oven needed a clean. Dirty mop and mop bucket in the bathroom was particularly unpleasant. Arrival instructions could have given parking place number. Two keys in the key safe, neither of which had the flat number written on as the arrival instructions stated they would.
Well equipped kitchen, fridge freezer, tv, Wi-Fi, parking. Key safe, parking space and front door were all within a few feet of each other.
