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.).

ChinaPhilippe is really kind and helpful. He even provided a reference for me, which could expedite my rental house hunting process. Good kitchen with rich supplies of breakfast snacks, milk and varies kinds of drinks. Bathroom is nice and clean, and shampoo and washing gels are also supplied. Very fast Wi-Fi connection.

United KingdomAs we arrived when it was dark, we were a bit unsure which house it was- maybe a small sign outside could be useful?
The bed was very comfy and the location was great for us, as we were going to a friend's party up the road and just needed somewhere to sleep. It is basic, but was exactly what we needed. I would recommend to anyone staying one or two nights. Really quiet in the house too and the breakfast / juice was a nice touch :) Thanks Philippe!

United KingdomNgl, the hallway of the house is a bit grimy and as such it didn't make the best first impression. There also seems to be a lack of kitchen utensils such as spatula, tongs, spaghetti scoop making cooking a bit difficult
I liked that it was a decent price, Didcot is ridiculously expensive for what it is. This is perfect for a solo traveller who is down for business purposes and wants to be able to cook their own food.

United KingdomWasn't what I expected as a B&B. Host does not live onsite. There is no home cooked breakfast. Individual rooms with shared bathroom. Communal areas not so clean. Carpet stained. Noise radiates between rooms easily.
Host was very pleasant and helpful. Bed was comfortable.

United KingdomSharing the bathroom was the only problem I had as I needed to be sure was not occupied at the time I needed. But it was a small problem compared with the quality of my room and the safety of the place.
The house is a quite and comfty place to stay, and the rooms are very nice, clean and well equipped (e.g., small fridge, kettle, wardorobe, TV, comfortable bed with lots of soft pillows). I was feeling like satying in a cozy hotel - excellent and pleasant experience at the best price I could find. I was even able to meet my host, Philippe, and he was very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this lovely place at Didcot if you are in a budget and staying for a short time (I was there one week). I definitely would come back! :D

United KingdomThe breakfast was pre packaged pastries and fruit which was significantly less than I expected for the price I paid. There was a shared bathroom which wasn’t clear on the advertising, and the entire time I stayed there I was unable to have a shower due to the bathroom being in use all morning until I had to leave. I also had to brush my teeth in the kitchen as the bathroom was always occupied. The owner arrived earlier than the checkout time and was knocking on the room doors so I felt pressure to leave much earlier than my check out time. Certainly not worth the price I paid, I would pay £20 or £30 a night max, it’s more like a hostel than a B and B. Overall, overly expensive and a poor stay.
The location was fairly close to the train station and near a small supermarket and takeaway for an evening meal. The bed was comfy and there was a kettle in the room for drinks which I appreciated.
