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.).

NepalCan not think of any, except of course I would have preferred to pay less but who doesn't ?
Enjoyed the sumptuous breakfast, cleanliness, nice tidy rooms and friendly staff- Victor and Sherol were especially nice. Location is a bit off, but the bus stop just out of the gate makes visits to the city center a breeze. The bar was also lively, great for evenings when we were too tired to go to the city. I had forgotten my laptop charger in the room, and on checking back a few days after, was happy to know they had not thrown it away and kept it for me ! I was attending a conference there, so the big lobby was very useful for socializing with others from the conference.

CyprusThere is no rack for towels or for drying in the bathroom, it could be a good addition as the hotel has a swimming pool (no place to leave your swimsuit to dry)
I liked everything, the staff were friendly, the food was good, the room was quiet. In the room I had a personal air conditioning where I could choose necessary temperature. The bus #6 going to the city center is just around the corner

United KingdomVery small toilet. The night shift staff did not know about some of the operations or activities in hotel. For example he gave us the wrong information about the parking. We were unable to get out of the parking ended up going back to reception to pay and get the pass. The water was not replaced on our second of stay. When we asked the receptionist for water he asked us to pay!

United KingdomWe pre-ordered a bucket of 5 beers for £20 to the room which we were told might be in the bar if they weren’t in the room when we checked in. We were charged £18 for 3 beers in the bar and then the receptionist asked us to pay for the bucket of beers when we left but we hadn’t had them.

United KingdomWe booked an Executive King Room (£350+ for 2 nights) but it didn't have an 'Executive' feel. The bathroom was extremely small. The shower head was fixed which meant limited adjustability in water flow direction. The bath was tiny. The view from the room window looked out over an untidy grass area. The view of the surrounding rooms on 2 levels gave it a feel of a 1960's/1970's holiday camp which was a shame.
A great location for exploring Oxford. Ample parking. Polite, friendly and helpful staff. Large, clean, welcoming and comfortable foyer. Clean rooms and corridors. A nice touch with the 'Guest of the Day' gratuities.

United KingdomThe room was too cold when we arrived, because the air conditioning was on too low, even though it was a cold day. This was quite unpleasant for my wife who does not like the cold. I also was expecting a bath in the bathroom, as advertised, however there was only a shower. So if you want a bath then I would recommend asking specifically for a room with a bath, even if it is advertised with one at the point of reservation.
The room and communal areas were clean and well kept. The beds and furnishings were comfortable. As we were sat in the restaurant on the morning of our departure, my son told me that it was "the best breakfast in Oxford".
