Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Nice pub near Oxford with a great connection to the city. A bus station is just across the street. Very good dinner options and typical English breakfast. Dog friendly environment with a park very close by. Extremely nice host! Very clean rooms in good condition in an adjacent building. Comfy beds and everything you need.

Very well presented and stylish decor in the pub. Very comfortable dining room with well spaced out tables. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable.

SlovakiaBeds were a bit wobbly but maybe it is because we are both tall people (we had issues with beds in whole UK, being me 176 cm and my partner 193 cm tall).
The staff was so welcoming and nice, room was big, clean and tidy. Super dog friendly. Pub was great, I am vegetarian with very bad lactose intolerance (cannot have anything with milk). There was nothing on menu for me but the lovely staff figured out a food for me and it was the best thing. We are just sorry that we didnt have any pounds left on us as we were leaving the country next morning. These people deserve all the money!

United KingdomThe Oxford Road is a little busy as is Oxford but this is to be expected given it is a Historical University City.
Every member of staff did their utmost to ensure our stay was enjoyable despite it being a very busy weekend. The meals we had were well prepared and presented, the braised Ox Cheek was delicious and the Sunday Roast absolutely perfect. Our dog Flora was also welcome to join us in the bar area for both breakfast and dinner.

United KingdomBeing told I would have to pay full price for the larger breakfast rather than a difference of just £4.00 to the one I was entitled to as part of my b&b stay. Seems rather petty. Perhaps they should say this in the information, or rethink their policy.
Friendly staff and convenient location. Overall a good overnight stay.
