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 KingdomOption to bid for a room upgrade. Tried to place bid but it was not clear to me or to the check in desk staff what bid had been accepted and the price the bid was costing. I had understood online that I had one room upgrade at £9.5.. My bid was for £8. but I was charged £ 20.,after some discussion .

ThailandI could smell smoke in all hotel corridors, very bad, and in the morning the janitor knocked my door while I was taking rest. They disturbed us because they wanted to clean. Why not check with the reception? Why they woke up their guest?

United KingdomLeo’s restaurant food wasn’t very good at all. The ‘buttermilk’ chicken was a birdseye chicken piece cut up and stuck in a flatbread… the pudding was cold (they did however replace it with a lovely pudding from the restaurant upstairs though!). We paid an extortionate amount of money for it (£59 more than we paid to eat lunch at the Ivy the same day- and we had a £60 bottle of champagne while at the Ivy!). The staff were lovely but the food was incredibly poor- particularly for the price. Would have expected the rooms to have usb charging ports in the plugs- most hotels do now. The lady who checked us in, also didn’t have any idea if the hotel had EV charging, or where there was any chargers close by.
Lovely big hotel, clean, modern rooms. Hotel pool staff were brilliant and really helpful. Leo’s staff were lovely. Breakfast was lovely.

United KingdomThe pool would benefit from a jacuzzi. The smart tv didn’t work and when asked for help, the manager came to look and kept saying it’ll work in a couple of minutes, but it never did, had to chase them for an outcome (planned a chilled movie night)! We ordered breakfast on first day from the a la carte menu and it took ages to arrive and was very poor quality. The staff took it off the bill. We got the buffet the next day which was much better.
The rooms are spacious and clean and very quiet. Lovely reception and cleaning staff.

United KingdomThe building work going on behind the hotel does not make for an attractive outlook. Our room could have been cleaner - it was dusty.
The hotel has a large airy welcoming reception area. Amenities in our room were good and we felt comfortable. Breakfast choices excellent. We didn't use our car to travel into the city instead we used the #6 bus taken just outside the hotel which goes to the centre (stops outside the Ashmolean Museum and runs every 15 minutes). Car parking cost us £12.00 during our 2 night stay.

United KingdomThe door to the bathroom in our room was shabby and needed attention, if not replacing and there was what looked like make up on the voile curtain. Directions from the receptionist to our room on arrival were a little vague. We got lost and had to return to reception.
The room was comfortable and well maintained. The staff who tidied our room in the mornings did an exceptional job. The staff in the restaurant were also very accommodating.

United KingdomWe thought we had prepaid for the breakfast however we hadn't so had to pay at the time. £18 for the breakfast each seemed a lot. Our television was not working. Maintenance tried to fix but were unable to. So I had a call to say they were unable to repair and it may be a few days. We were only there one night. I asked if we could move rooms however they were fully booked. We were tired after walking all day and just wanted to relax so a shame the television was not working. Another hotel we stayed at the same thing happened and they offered a free breakfast so it would have been nice for an offer of part payment to breakfast or the carparking charge to be taken off.
Good size car park and park and ride and local bus services nearby into Oxford. Room clean and tidy and a large bed. Bathroom good size and clean and tidy room. Good also to have the tea and coffee facilities. Lovely large entrance and wow factor to the hotel.
