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 ZealandThe verification didn't work for the accommodation which meant that I didn't get a passcode for the front door, and I ended up paying twice for parking to get the address and passcode because the site didn't process it correctly.
The location was good and the room comfortable.

Amazing place for this price! A 30-minute walk to the city center wasn't a trouble since Oxford is a beautiful city. The host was great and understanding, I appreciate the milk to the coffee :)

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower is not great, but that’s a very minor flaw. If you’re a light sleeper, the traffic noise might bother you
Easy check in, responsive staff, comfortable bed, basic but clean and well equipped room (tea kettle, hairdryer, toiletries, iron). Very good value for money for Oxford standards

United KingdomIt was a small bed but it was fine for the price.
The secure parking was good and even though the self check looked like it may be a bit complicated with the different codes and fobs it actually was pretty straightforward. They also moved room as we were there early so we didn’t need to wait for official check in time.

United KingdomIs not necessarily not liking, it just takes some adjustment to have the keys collected from a locker and no personal interactions. However, everything was great so there was no need to contact the staff (whose contacts were sent by email/app and were clearly displayed at the entrance and in the room).
The room was clean and tidy and everything that I needed was in place. Thankfully it was quiet as well, provided me with the rest I needed.

SingaporeNo parking at the accommodation, so had to park along the small road at the turn of the apartment. It was challenging to carry our heavy luggages up the narrow staircase to level 3 (or 4?).
Quiet environment for overnight stay. Room was clean and comfortable. And there is a microwve oven besides the fridge, good for heating up our food.

The room was a little bigger than I expected It was close enough to the center to walk in or there's a bus stop directly across the road Having a fridge and microwave in the room was useful

United KingdomVery noisy - you can hear others slamming their doors and walking on the floor boards. The wooden floor gets quite cold too, so maybe a rug or carpet would be a much better option. The room also got cold at night and there was no where to turn on heating, although the duvet was very thick. It is also a little on the pricier side, but I guess it’s worth it for the cleanliness and location.
Good location - opposite the Oxford university sports grounds so very accessible to Cowley road Sainsbury’s (5 mins walk) and to the city centre (10-15 min walk). Very clean room and bathroom, with comfortable beds, a microwave, a fridge and plates and cutlery to use. A kettle, coffee and tea were also available.
