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 KingdomLocation is excellent. The hut is so comfortable and good air conditioning. The WiFi is terrible although free and available- it is constantly dropping out and no good for work. Room wasn’t cleaned once during my stay, I had to ask for water to be replenished as no cleaner had entered.

United KingdomWe didn't know we had to ask for cleaning, just a mis-communication, but once solved all was very good.
The location was very good, just behind the beach at the quieter end of Palolem amoungst the palm trees and nature. The area around the rooms was very clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful especially when my husband was unwell, they arranged for an english speaking tuk tuk to take us to the best medical attention. Everyone was very friendly.

United StatesNo real complaints. They provide 3 complimentary bottles of water everyday - more would be nice.
Excellent location, about a minute away from the the North end of Palolem beach. Very quiet, peaceful and surrounded by greenery. Courteous and helpful staff. Exceptional breakfast at Rockit cafe - provided complimentary through Oxygen. Outdoor seating area was also very nice. They also helped arrange pickup from the Mopa airport at reasonable and fair rates.

United KingdomOur stay at Oxygen was lovely. This was our final stop in Goa, Palolem Beach our favourite destination for its beautiful changing landscape of the bay as it connects to the backwaters. Oxygen is on the calmer end of the beach which was perfect for us. The room wasn’t on the seafront but probably better if you want a quieter nights sleep. Breakfast was included with vouchers to other restaurants which were decent. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were excellent and very helpful to my friend when they were poorly for a couple of days. And also helping us with arranging a taxi to the airport very early in the morning.

FinlandWhen booking the property indicated only two types of rooms available (=both in Booking and in their own site), an expensive 3 person suite or the most cheapest standard room. We took the standard and were given the most corner cabin with the pre-text that it also is the most budget option. Well, it had a very strong smell, probably from mosquito or ant repellants or something similar, and after trying to settle in the evening we decided that we can't bare it through. We went and complained and they promptly moved us to a similar but better cabin. For us this looked the same, but it was not in the dark corner but instead in the more light yard. The cabin still had similar smell but significantly less. That's why we thought it's likely a repellant that is used throughout (=the same smell you can find around the beaches here and there...) We could not get warm water in either of the cabins. Not sure if this is mentioned on the website.
Beach is very close, though it's not exactly beach front. Quiet by night - no parties in the premises. Fan on the porch was excellent! We had to change the room (see below), and the staff were very helpful and accommodating, and upgraded us to a better cabin with no extra cost. Truly greatfull for this!
