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 KingdomAlthough breakfast is lovely, there is very little choice especially with hot food, only boiled eggs and toasted available. Rooms are clean but very tired looking. The whole place needs an update.
Location is very good. Frequent bus to central Oxford beside accommodation.

United KingdomThe place seemed a little dated and jaded. Seemed really attractive to spiders ie loads of cobwebs. When I reported it the spiders were evicted but the cobwebs remained. Small under the counter fridge fell off the shelf when the door was opened and the front of the shower dial fell off too. When I reported both it seemed they were already aware but we're doing nothing about it. Limited breakfast (particularly for what we paid) continental ± boiled eggs and toast but plenty of cereal, fruit and yoghurt.
Sue was lovely (a credit to the place!) Ideal location for where we needed to be

United KingdomWater flow in shower very poor - barely a trickle at times. Wifi for TV extremely intermittent and programmes continually cutting out. Mobile & ipad worked ok. Key access by owner not secure. Instructions stated 'key under mat' in a notice on the entrance with one key available to open both the front door and bedroom meaning anyone could enter the property and also have access to all the bedrooms.
Comfortable accommodation. Excellent service from Sue who worked wonders (alone during our stay) making a lovely breakfast and generally being very helpful, especially with providing information about travelling into Oxford town centre by bus instead of by car to avoid expense of parking etc. Town centre was extremely busy with many tourists. All cafes were full!

United StatesUnfortunately the beds really are showing their age. The box beds squeak quite loudly and on one side of the bed it was quite recessed, so the bed dipped down at the edges. Also the pillows were extremely flat. A refresh of the beds and pillows is needed.
Great location near bus stops with easy access to the city centre! A quaint property. Lovely breakfast.

United KingdomDip in the floor that made me fall over Breakfast not what you'd expect from a 4 star. Was told on email after booking that it was continental only but boiled eggs and beans available. Asked for beans but was given a curt "no" as though I were daft asking so didn't push it. Continental breakfast was juice, fresh fruit, yoghurts and basic selection of cereals. Fruit was nice but wasn't very filling for a big day ahead and would expect cooked options and have had so in lower star places.
Helpful and friendly manager, quaint decor and good location, spacious tidy room.
