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 KingdomI didn't like the room door being so close to the downstairs reception. Beds were a bit squeaky with movement.
Fantastic location, good bus links to the centre. Felt welcomed.

South AfricaIf your main purpose is centered around the historic old part of Oxford - then this is some distance away. Buses are convenient to catch, but remember traffic moves very slowly on oxfords 2 lane streets.
Extremely clean, compact and comfortable. Julie was very helpful. A very convenient place to stay if your main purpose is to be around the Headington campus. Lots of cafes and restaurants in walking distance at the Headington center. We are not breakfast people, so we were happy to be offered a lower rate without breakfast.

United KingdomThe reception area was a little musty smelling, the TV had a problem with the screen, there were a few bits of wear & tear here & there but nothing serious. The shower head was little blocked with limescale & lighting was a little dull. We would have liked a cooked breakfast but it wasn't on offer.
room was spacious, clean, bathroom clean, the shower head was little blocked with limescale & lighting was a little dull. Great location for getting into Oxford. Bus stop close by.

United KingdomNothing really. If I have to suggest some improvement, I would have preferred a firmer bed.
The property is very well connected with the train station with a few direct buses. There are plenty of supermarkets, takeaways and restaurants in the surrounding. My room and the bathroom were very spacious and had everything I might have needed. The staff was very helpful (had to change the date of the booking and were understanding) and friendly. I found the quality of the room perfect for the price, compared to other guest rooms I have been in Oxford.

IrelandThe only downside was that the walls seemed a little thin and there was a lot of noise from next door (nothing excessive but I could hear their TV very clearly). The chair legs on the chair were also quite wobbly. But I am nitpicking there.
Wonderful little guest house with a very warm welcome from Julie upon arrival. I was attending an event at the university and it was perfectly located for this purpose. It was on the direct bus route to Heathrow which is handy for international travellers also. The room was well-appointed, clean and well decorated with a spotless ensuite bathroom with toiletries. The rooms are also equipped with Sky Digital which was handy to watch the golf.
