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 KingdomThe only problem I had was the sink in the bathroom, the sloping ceiling above it made it quite difficult to use.
The surroundings, the "staff", the room, the very comfortable bed and the decor. It was very good having the kitchenette and being able to suit myself for my breakfast.

United KingdomOne very minor issue was that, as I am over 6' tall, the sloping ceiling over the en-suite sink made wet-shaving a little difficult.
Accommodation was very comfortable and clean and the groceries provided were more than adequate.

United KingdomI came to Southwell to sing for several days with a visiting choir at the Minster; The Studio at the Oaklodge was perfect for my stay, giving me a peaceful, private and very comfortable haven to return to at the end of the day. The hosts were friendly and helpful, the accommodation was spotlessly clean throughout, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast supplies varied and plentiful. I'll certainly be back!

AustraliaA very spacious and comfortable property. it was fabulous having a little kitchenette with a fridge and microwave. Breakfast provisions were more than adequate and it was very relaxing being able to prepare at leisure. More like a small apartment than your standard B&B Oaklodge was sparkling clean and the host was friendly, helpful and communicative. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

United KingdomThe only thing that was not really good was the bathroom washbasin. Because of the sloping roof it was not always easy to use it.
Breakfast very good and we let Jackie know before our visit what type of bread and milk we would like. Lovely large comfortable bedsit/dining room. Kitchenette fine with all the facilities needed. We were able to text Jackie to ask for anything else we needed. Bathroom fine. We had our dog with us. There was an orchard where we could walk him, and a walk with footpaths and fields where he could run off the lead across the road. Jacqueline and Andrew friendly and helpful. Good location for what we wanted. Pub doing reasonable food within walking distance.
