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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaRooms was really small so it was a little difficult to navigate around with our suitcases. Absence of on-site parking made it a little difficult for us as we had a car rental
Newly refurbished building so rooms and bathrooms were immaculate. Location was very accessible to where we needed to go around Oxford. Brilliant contactless check in and check out service.

Czech RepublicSelf checkin is ok but the place is presented as a hotel and therefore there should be luggage storage facilities on premise.
We where comfortable in the back room which has a lovely view of the garden.

United KingdomA contact number would have been good. We were parked in by an inconsiderate guest who made us wait until well after check-out time was exceeded in order to get our vehicle out. It would have been useful being able to contact the property to ask them to contact the guest who had exceeded the check-out time. It's not a criticism, simply a suggestion.
The venue is very nicely appointed. The bed was extremely comfortable, the furnishings and bedding were tasteful and of good quality. The bathroom was really nice with a good size shower. The check-in process was relatively straightforward via a machine inside the small lobby.

BelgiumIt was only after we had paid that we received a message to say that there was no parking offered at the property and that we would have to park 10 minutes walk away in a public car park. This was not convenient at all as we were moving our son into university and the car was full of things. The car park they suggested is quite small and there was no space when we arrived. Parking in Oxford is almost impossible, so we should have been informed before booking.
The room was at the back of the property. It was spacious, very clean and quiet with a lovely large window and view. Although the property is not in the heart of Oxford, there's a bus stop very close by with lots of buses so it's quick to get into town.

There are a few coffee shops nearby and the bus connection is regular. My daughter and I felt safe. It was clean - also the room was quite small - especially the bathroom. The price was good.

United KingdomRoom was quite hot, there was a fan in the room so that did help. Only small grumble was not realising that when you go out in garden past the fence, you can see straight into the other room. Maybe just a warning not to go past the fence, or keep your curtains closed. Would have liked a fridge in the room, just to be able to keep some milk or water. Tv wasn’t working. But that wasn’t a major issue.
Easy check in, touch screen check in, keycard printed. The property was clean and well presented. Bed was comfortable, bathroom very clean and shower was hot and powerful . Plenty of wardrobe space. Clean sheets and good quality towels. Good location as only a short walk into the town. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

ItalyI was a bit disappointed because from the pictures I was expecting to have a nice view on a pretty garden but actually we were on the side of the street and there were workers doing their job right outside of our window, so not exactly what I was expecting :( Also, we were the first room at the entrance and the other guests weren't so gentle with the doors which were continuously and loudly slammed

EgyptThe room location was next to the entrance ,every time someone opened the doors coming in or out woke me up. You need to fix your doors to be less noisy and reduce the slam as this is really a cause of noise especially after 11pm. Also for long stay guest ( we stayed a week), it is a must to do cleaning as advised and not skip a day!!
The beds were really comfy and firm. The room design was very smart and it felt like warm and welcoming.

United KingdomOnly real downside was that doors were really sprung throughout whole house and every ti e someone entered or left their room, the place shook! Luckily, this was not during the night when I stayed there.
Check in at kiosk easy (per email instructions in advance). Room (no 3) is good size, plenty of hanging space, bed comfy, kettle and good shower. Quiet too as towards back of property (which is on main road). I quite liked the walk into town, past the tennis club, botanical gardens etc. There are bus-stops nearby too.

United KingdomParking is a huge problem is Oxford and the recommended car park was full all weekend (we tried several times). We parked further out to find street parking, about 15 min walk from the house. Room was VERY small. Just enough space to walk around the bed. Difficult if we would have had larger luggage. The bathroom was very tiny and is not for slightly larger guests. The description on booking.com gives the impression that the rooms are quiet but that is true for the rooms to the back. We had a room to the side and got a lot of traffic noise from a very busy road.
Check in is through a self service kiosk by the front door. The house is well signed and there is tight parking space to unload your car. But you have to move your car more or less straightaway. Decor in the room was nice and modern. Bed very comfortable. We raised the issue with the noise and got a very quick response, which was much appreciated.

United StatesI thought there would be some person at reception or at least someone to contact for any problem instead of simply emailing them. This was more of an Airbnb type of accommodation. Perhaps I hadn’t read all the information regarding the guest house when booking.
The room was very comfortable with a lovely garden view and big windows. The bathroom was nice and modern. The location was good for walking around Oxford and there were several good restaurants to choose from, including a variety of cuisines.

United KingdomRoom was very small not like on any of the pictures, broken toilet seat which was quite dangerous. One of the blinds in the window was broken and could open it. Checking in system did not work so had to phone up and get it reset, which was done fairly quickly. Pity there are no facilities to park at the property. The car park they suggest is a 24 hour one. We did not use the car to go into the city so cost us £31 to park for 2 days.
Great location tea coffee facilities clean, walkable distance to city centre and a comfy bed and good shower. Relatively quiet except for builders next door!

United KingdomThe entryway with self check in was very small. There was another guest checking in when we arrived and they seemed to be having some trouble with the kiosk, so we had to wait outside for about 10 min
The location was excellent, close to the Botanical Gardens and on the bus route to the City Centre. There had clearly been a lot of effort and expense incurred in upgrading the property recently and the room was just lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the property was very quiet. The bathroom was modern, spacious and the shower was amazing

CanadaI would have preferred to have an onsite host. I had a couple of issues that would have been easier and quicker to resolve if someone had been available to talk to. Also, my cell signal wasn't very strong in that area, which meant I couldn't use my phone in the building. The signal was better outside, I discovered later.
The room was comfortable and well equipped. It was spacious and very clean. A few issues I had were quickly solved. (The check in was easy except that my cellphone signal was not very strong there, so I couldn't access the email about checking in, so would have had an issue if I couldn't remember the booking code.)
