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.).

New ZealandThere was nothing not to like❤️
This B&B is the best we have stayed at in the month we have been away. It is spotless, very well set up, and very comfortable. The hosts are friendly but not over the top.Having a separate breakfast area is so good. The breakfast and provisions they supplied were delicious and exceeded our expectations. Because of they way they have cleverly set up the B&B, their home is their own private space. We loved everything about our stay. ❤️

Very hospitable host and hostess. I felt very much at home. Varied and healthy breakfast in a cozy breakfast room, where guests can easily make contact with each other. It is a good and quiet location, with a bus service to Oxford Center within a few minutes walk and a pub for dinner around the corner.

United KingdomThere was nothing which we didn’t like!
It was attractive, easily accessible from the bus stop. It was clean, quiet and the breakfasts were remarkably good with fresh fruit (not frozen) croissants, boiled egg, cereals, yoghurt etc. Exceptional value. The owners were welcoming, friendly and very attentive to our needs. The husband even offered to drive us into Oxford to catch our train as it was frosty and slippery on the pavements.

Lovely welcome by hosts who were very helpful in advising us of the public transport. A bus runs into the certain of the city only a couple of minutes away. The room was spotlessly clean. The breakfast was lovely with help yourself service to cereals, toast and yogurts. Hot croissants, hot chocolate, bowls of fresh fruit and eggs were available to order. We had a relaxing staff. Thank you very much.

This b&b is in a quiet location, south of Oxford, easily accessible by car from all main routes. We were able to park in the driveway and take a bus into the city. The owner very kindly supplied us with helpful maps. Our twin room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the beds comfortable. A variety of cereals, fruit, toast and croissants were provided for breakfast.

Beautifully presented property with great facilities. Our room was spacious and the bathroom and shower one of the best we have stayed in. The breakfast room was a delight and the breakfast offering a great start to the day. Siti made us very welcome and was a great host during our stay, delivering our eggs prepared as requested with a smile each morning. While a suburban location the bus into Oxford is only a few steps away. Great value for money.
