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.).

Besides the TV cable not working, everything else was excellent. Great staff. Worked hard to get TV reception back and dis via antenna. The hotel is in the heart of the action in Oxford and the staff could not have been mire accomodating.

United KingdomThe stairs were a challenge for me and the room was very large but felt quite sparse. The mattress was very soft. As its very central there was a lot of late night revellers so it may suit younger travellers.
The location was exceptional and everything we wanted to see or do was on our doorstep.The shower was very good.

AustraliaNothing - it was exactly as advertised . Not ‘flash’ but very warm, comfortable and quiet . I knew in advance that was no elevator so was not phased by the steep climb to my room.
It was perfect for a one night stay. Location was great - right on Broad St within easy walking distance of the famous sites . And lovely restaurants close by as well .

United KingdomI was aware before hand, so it wasn’t a problem, however, it is important that people are aware that what you get is your room. There is nothing else. Nowhere to sit and chat or food or drink.

MalaysiaNothing, all good
The room was small and plainly furnished, nothing to shout about but it was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was TINY, but it's to be expected in a property of this age/size. My friend and I were only in the room to sleep so not a big deal and we thought the bed was very comfortable. You also need to climb a lot of stairs, not a problem for us but perhaps to be avoided if you have mobility issues. Probably one of the most affordable stays in Central Oxford.

ItalyStairs. There is no lift and the stairs are steep and narrow. I need to ask for help with my luggage. Breakfast. Despite the name "Buttery", there is no breakfast. I walked to Brown's Cafe' in the Covered Market which is fine but I would have preferred provision in the hotel.
The central location is excellent. Although small, my room was fine for one person but would have been very cramped for a couple. The bathroom was well furnished.
