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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomRoom required serious upgrade. All plugs on one wall away from drawing table and mirrors. Furniture complete mismatch and in poor condition.. Bathroom at skirting level needs refreshing as does the sealant as mould is present. No staff in the mornings if problems arise and no staff on checking out. Emergency numbers not answered when rung. Breakfast not included as advertised - only dependant and honoured on when booking was made due to management changes. This needs to be changed immediately on all the appropriate websites! No allergies or dietary requirements checked with breakfast that was supplied as dairy intolerance is an issue for us.
The pub itself was lovely and the location was excellent

United KingdomThe room was not level as dates old building, which I loved. The bed was comfortable and en-suite clean! Disliked- the Tassimo machine had no tea making pod (that was missing). In the middle of the night (2:30am) the fire alarm was set off I was half way down when it switched off and another visitor said it was a false alarm. No staff in sight to tell me that! In the morning, although I was told staff would be around near the bar area, I found no one. Place was locked up so it was drop the key and go business. As a solo traveller, alarms going off at night and no staff to reassure, is bad!

United KingdomParked in the car park and give registration of my car on arrival but had a parking ticket !!! You've got the hassle of sorting it out then it's not what you want when you've been away and parked legally. All sorted now but it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

United KingdomUnfortunately one of our rooms was not cleaned when we arrived in the evening even though we had been given the key to the room. They had a party to celebrate their first birthday and the noise traveled right up to the top floor disturbing my elderly parents until late in the night.

United KingdomThe carpet in the room had not been hoovered for a few days, the bed was rather lumpy and the sink was far too small to wash even your hands in. The shower door was broken.

AustriaMy room was quite cold and whilst I like a cool room it was freezing outside. The window was open on arrival which probably didn’t help … maybe if I’d asked staff I could have made it warmer but didn’t want to bother anyone and thought it would warm up after the window was closed. I wish I’d brought my travel wave machine noise as the little fridge in the room would start and stop . I wasn’t impressed with the breakfast I think it should be clear it’s something left outside the room the yoghurt was ok with the fruit but not fantastic but enough I guess but it won’t be what most are expecting given there is a nice restaurant in the
Location and although I didn’t have my dog in this occasion it’s great that they are accepted and I may return. The staff were very friendly car area was nice and whilst I didn’t eat there the restaurant looked nice . Free parking

United KingdomNeeded a little bit of a spruce up - they had had recent rain damage and were awaiting repairs to ceiling. The bathroom was a little tired but had everything we needed. Body wash, shampoo, hand wash and hand/body lotion. Fridge, kettle with lots of tea and coffee - oils have done with more milk. Hairdryer was provided too and plenty of towels and loo roll. Have to admit - was disappointed with breakfast. It was brought up to the room the night before. Croissant, fruit, cheese, jam and overnight oats - orange juice in the fridge. Would have liked a full English - but that’s just me. Lovely informative staff - very friendly. The bar had a wonderful warm welcoming atmosphere. I would return in a heartbeat. Was very well located close to town centre - 5 min walk. Lots of other bars nearby and Denis Turkish restaurant was excellent.
The character of the building and the furnishings were lovely.

United KingdomThe access to the bedrooms was difficult if you are incapacitated in any way but that is only to be expected with an old property.
It is very convenient for Bicester shops. The dining was good and staff lovely. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed so good value.
