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.).

United KingdomSound travels in the house: talking, doors closing, noisy staircase. I went to bed very early so used ear plugs.
I wasn't there long enough to cook but a good shared kitchen. The shared bathroom was very clean with a good sized shower cubicle. Car parking at front of property. Walking distance to food stores.

I booked a single bed room but owner put me in a double at no extra charge as a double came available. My room had fridge freezer, wardrobe, comfortable bed, Tv, armchair, desk. Very modern shared bathroom. Towel provided. Shared kitchen was modern, very clean well appointed and had everything I needed. My first ever stay in a Booking.com location and I can highly recommend this location for anyone visiting Oxford or surrounding area. Full marks.

Czech RepublicI had a little difficulty locking the door of my room; it tended to open again but that can easily be fixed. Also, for someone with a lot of stuff who would want to unpack all of it there might be a little problem with storage space as there is no closet (woudn´t fit in), only hooks and hangers for clothes (a quite sufficient number though), plus the space inside the writing desk. It was quite OK for me though.
The location is a bit off centre but that was more than accounted for in the price; the room is really nice, everything promised on the booking summary was provided, and I was pleasantly surprised that I could also e.g. heat food in the microwave in the downstairs kitchen as the use of the kitchen was not even mentioned I believe (it is true that it is primarily for long-term lodgers but I could use all the appliances). I must also mention that my host responded almost immediately to all my inquiries and was very helpful.

Sloveniaall ok
The room was very cosy and clean, it had everything I needed, also a table to work. I forgot to bring electricity adapter for British current, and the owner rescued me, by immediately responding and providing an adapter! it was crucial for me to be able to work. Thank you again! The bathroom was clean and had a very nice shower. The view is to garden, very nice. There is also a kitchen with another fridge (one was in the room). The location is nice, it is a bit far from the centre, but you can take a bus which is in front of the house. I prefered to walk, but you need to know it takes cca 45 minutes walking to the center, it is nice walk, you take a small tunel to avoid bigger road. It is no problem if you come late.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
It is a quiet and private room and you only have to share kitchen and bathroom with others. The room was tidy and clean, with a fridge and tv in it. The host was extremely helpful and responsible, though I never met him in person. Quick check-in. There is a bus stop, just 30 steps from the house, so easy to get to the city centre. Best choice if you don't want to be same room with strangers in a dormitory, with great deal.

United KingdomI found the bed was a little small and the cover was a little too small for me. Somebody barged into my room one night and switched on the light. They apologised and left. Someone woke me up on my last night shouting in the bathroom. Perhaps they were a little drunk.
It was very near the bus stiop. there was a fridge in the room. the room was warm. The owner greeted me friendly. The amenities in the kitchen werre great, nice stove and fridge and washing machine.

ItalyUnfortunately there is only one en suite bathroom which is already let to a long-term occupant. However, the shared one (for three users) is exceptionally clean and was almost always free.
The bus stop to the train station and to the centre of Oxford is just a few steps away from the house. The owners are very kind and attentive to guests. They will respond by WhatsApp to any reasonable request almost immediately.
