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 KingdomNothing could have been better
We stayed at the Fox and Goat to attend a wedding at the Manoir aux Quat' Saisons. We dropped our car off early in the morning a had a delicious sausage bap at the Fox and Goat to set us up for the day. Dawn allowed us to leave our case in the room and was the perfect host. The room was lovely, the bed very comfortable and everything was very clean and well maintained. Breakfast was another treat, we both had the full English before we set off on our long journey home.

United KingdomThe room was a bit hot though a fan was provided.
We had a really warm and friendly welcome. Lovely spacious room that was spotlessly clean, it had comfortable beds and an excellent shower. We loved that there was fresh milk for tea or coffee making in the room. The food was delicious. The location was perfect for visiting Oxford.

United KingdomThere was absolutely nothing to complain about in any way.
Dawn, the owner/manager could not have been more helpful - even offering to come and pick us up from a party should a taxi have been unavailable (not needed though). The room was spotless and extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend the Fox+Goat to friends. (The lunch/dinner menu looked very good as well, but we were unable to capitalise on that)

United KingdomAbsolutely lovely stay. Attending a trade event nearby, we arrived a little tired and were made so welcome not only by the owner, Dawn, but by the regulars in the bar too! Nothing was too much trouble for anyone - the staff were amazing, our room was absolutely lovely, the food was absolutely beautiful - we tried the specials and haven't eaten anything as truly delicious in a long time😋 and to top it all, our elderly dog was treated to biscuits and gravy despite his unfortunate mishaps - thank you so much Dawn, you are a true Diamond xxxx Will return again in a heartbeat if ever we are in the area x ( that's if you'll let us?🫣) xx
