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...).

United KingdomAlthough it was great having the bar downstairs the music was a bit too loud if you wanted to go to sleep b4 11 o clock.
It was very convenient for getting to oxford. Small walk to the bustop to catch the no 3 bus that run every 20 minutes and doesn't have the price tag of staying in Oxford. Staff were very friendly. The accommodation in fairness could do with a bit of a spruce up but was nice and clean. Rooms were a good size. Perfect for us who just need a place to sleep

United KingdomA Very, Very Basic Stay If you're expecting luxury, comfort, or even decent service—think again. This hotel is as basic as it gets. And when I say basic, I mean very basic. Rooms: They had beds. That’s about all I can say. Don’t expect any thoughtful touches or comfort beyond the absolute essentials. The shower gel dispenser wasn’t even filled. Service: The staff at breakfast acted like they were doing us a favour just by taking our order. Not exactly the welcoming experience you’d hope for. Breakfast: Functional, at best. It filled a hole, but it was one of the worst breakfasts I’ve had. Definitely nothing to look forward to. Overall, if you just need four walls and a roof over your head, this place will do. But if you value even a hint of hospitality or comfort, look elsewhere.

United KingdomThe initial room I was given was not as advertised, and the lock on the door was falling apart, which made me feel very unsafe as a woman travelling alone. Thankfully, staff gave me a different room which was what I had paid for based on pictures. Then there was no hot water in the shower.

United KingdomSome of the staff members gave some pretty confusing social cues and acted pretty grumpily. The room itself was pretty dilapidated and is in serious need of improvement. The door lock was barely attached and there was black mould all over the ceiling. I didn’t really want to touch anything or put my things down. The breakfast left a lot to be desired.
The restaurant food was truly delicious and well priced, and a couple of the staff in the restaurant area were very sweet and gave the right level of attentiveness. The sheets were clean (I believe!).

United KingdomIt's a personal preference but the bed was too soft to the point that you felt like sinking. Pub/Restaurant downstairs was a bit too noisy for me.
Breakfast was good and the location was just perfect, easy to find the hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Tho the place was old, it still provided great value for your money.

The room was big and fairly clean, but the furniture and furniture were cheap and old. Stains on the bedcovers and rips in the curtains.

United KingdomThe hotel itself was very dated and a little shabby. We were in what was classed a small double but the room was only serviced for 1 person ( which we realised in the morning!) The breakfast was mediocre, we had to ask for hot drinks and no condiments were available.
The location was why we chose the hotel as we were visiting friends nearby. The area was lovely and we enjoyed the canal

United KingdomThe rooms are quite run down. Single-glazed windows meant that it was a bit cold. The bathroom could do with being re-fitted; holes in the wall, etc., but it was clean. Beds were comfortable enough for one night, but I wouldn't want to stay much longer.
Breakfast was simple but good, with a menu of a few offerings which they make to order. Location was right where I wanted to be. There was plenty of room to park and they were happy for me to leave my car for a few hours the following day. The restaurant has a good-looking menu of Bangladeshi food (curries) and they also have a 'normal' pub menu food.
