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 KingdomI am an older person so the times of the breakfast sitting which are 7am -9am weekdays and 7am-10am weekends, would be more suitable if they were extended until 10am and 11am. My wife was able to get her breakfast, but because of the early start and finish times I wasn't able to get there on time. Disappointing.
We were there to meet our son who is studying at Oxford, so the location was excellent. The room was clean and tidy and the view from the window was excellent too.

United KingdomUnfortunately hotel appearance is tired. As are some places in the communal areas. The swimming pool is unusable and has been for a long time I feel.
The hotel is almost on the bank of the river Thames. The view from our room was beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food, had a good selection on the menu, & executed well. Breakfast was a good quality too everything as it should be.

United KingdomThe water for use making tea at breakfast had been put in a dispenser previously used for coffee making it undrinkable. (The first squirt came out brown) One toaster for toast making between all the guests meaning quite long waits for folk.
Location, location, location! The bedroom and bathroom itself was absolutely lovely. Provision of alternative milk at breakfast.

United KingdomSome elements e.g. hallways are very dated (I saw previous reviews mention this) but as stated above our room was modern and clearly recently renovated.
We stayed in a modern riverview suite. The room was very spacious, with a four poster bed and freestanding bathtub and separate shower enclosure in the en-suite. The staff were very friendly and the hot breakfast was lovely. There was a good selection of cereals, juices, and toast preserves in the continental. They take dogs and allow them in the bar area for a £15 surcharge. While I understand the hotel as a whole needs updating the bar, dining area, and renovated rooms look great. It’s a great location for walks along the river - the receptionist very helpfully recommended the best routes to go, and it’s a short drive from Oxford. We would definitely stay again.
