How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewClean, comfortable, quiet. Came for 2 weeks with coworkers.
Communication - didn’t realise that someone would come to change our linens. Was nice but would’ve liked to know in advance. Kitchen nonstick pots were scratched, I wish they had stainless steel instead which is safer. Not much in the area, you need to walk to Summertown (15 min) for anything. They also have our check in details to another guest who we then had to help check in to their own apartment. Not great for security!

Verified reviewVery clean and well equipped. I have stayed at the suites before and find them charming and very comfortable. I’ve stayed at the downstairs suites but this time I was in the upstairs Churchill suite which had slanted ceilings, my husband who is only 5’7” hit his head a few times maneuvering around the flat. Otherwise Beds and linen were very comfortable, kitchen well equipped. Note that there is no dryer however, my clothes dried overnight on the drying rack. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Oh, and the free parking is a definite plus as it’s very tough to park in Oxford.
This trip it was just the slanted ceilings, although it does have a lot of charm. It’s only because we lost square footage based on that and we just needed a bit more space as it was Xmas time, otherwise I’d stay there again under different circumstances. Shower was tiny.

Verified reviewCleanliness was exceptional, please congratulate your cleaner. Also,apartment was v.comfortable and location was good.
We had some trouble getting into the block and then into the apartment, it wasn't explained to us, maybe Valentina needs to make it very clear to future guests particularly as people come after a long drive and need to know what to expect(we rang and left message and then rang again leaving another message to say we got in). Also, another matter, the rubbish bin was broken but if you buy another one,please get a much smaller one as people have short stays and there is no need for a big one.
Thank you for your kind words about the apartment and its cleanliness. We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to our cleaner! We apologise for the difficulty you had with getting into the block and the apartment. We do send instructions ahead of time, and you should have received these, but we will review our communications to ensure everything is clear for future guests. Thank you also for the feedback about the rubbish bin – we’ll certainly consider a smaller one for short stays. We appreciate your suggestions and hope to welcome you again! Lindsay @ Short Let Space

Verified reviewProperty easy to find on a main road, good quiet neighborhood. Bedrooms were nice and clean, bit small though. Sitting area was spacious, kitchen was fully equipped. In general the place was nice
Place had many spiders the day we arrived and we had to make sure that they were gone same day and the following day as well. Some pans in the kitchen needs deep cleaning, they were oily and not so clean, and some were broken too. I asked for an extra bed before we arrived, but got an answer it isn’t possible, although one could be placed in living room. I thought full cleaning was included for stays more than 9 days and it turned out just Linen and towels change.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you found the property easy to find and enjoyed the neighborhood and amenities. We do advise of the bed configurations in our listing, and unfortunately, we are unable to add an extra bed for insurance purposes. Regarding cleaning, we specify that only linen and towel changes are included for stays over 9 days, and we did inform you about the cost of additional cleaning services, but we didn’t receive a request. Thank you again for your comments, which help us improve! Lindsay @ Short Let Space
