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.).

IcelandIt's basic but really good value for money. I spent a week and tried to book next visits at the Buttery as well but unfortunately there wasn’t availability for all my next visits to Oxford. So yes, would book again!

AustraliaNot much.
The location was brilliant right near colleges, restaurants and only a short walk from the museums. The staff were friendly and helpful. I could leave my bags there after I checked out until later in the day.

AustraliaWe stayed in a room at the front of the hotel which was a bit noisy late at night. The stairs are a bit steep - so big bags or bad knees are a problem.

United KingdomThe windows could do with a bit more draft lining to keep out the noise from the street at night. The facilities are limited, but that’s what we were expecting.
The location is absolutely amazing. It was very comfy and exactly met our expectations. It almost gives you a flavour of the college rooms which surround you.

United KingdomI live in the third floor flat so I'm used to stairs but these were incredibly steep narrow and a spiral. Just a warning for guests who might have difficulty.
Location was excellent and the rooms were immaculate. Despite being on the third floor and an older building the shower pressure was good.

United KingdomThe light was very poor in the room for reading. It would have been good to have had a bedside light that you could read by (only one with a shade which was too dim). No street map available at reception - only leaflets for tourists showing 'sights', which I didn't need.
Creaky floors - it was nice to be in a real building rather than a concrete box (though they are perfectly adequate). Nice rooftop views.

GermanyNo electrical socket near bed, a bit cold despite heater. The room might be not so well isolated, because it is an old building, so it was a bit cold in the room in the evening but a very warm blanket, so for sleeping it was ok.
A nice comfy bed, additional sofa, big windows, very central location, tea kettle, nice bathroom, complementary shower/lotion bottles in the bathroom, free wifi, nice furniture in the room, wardrobe, friendly staff
