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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomThe only things are that the lighting in the room is a bit dull and the bed was a bit too soft,
Breakfast is amazing, location is brilliant because it is only a short walk to Donnington Bridge and the river to watch the rowing. Staff are very friendly, especially the lovely lady who manages the breakfast! It's also lovely to be able to bring the dog.

United KingdomAt night the resources are sparce, as Oxford is quiet earlier in the evening i'd expect more to be available from the hotel. No food was served past 8.30pm which was disappointing. Also we ordered hot chocolates later in the evening, instead off calling back to say they couldn't make it we waited 15 minutes to have sachets of hot chocolate powder brought to the room, it was very odd as they could have just made the hot chocolates for us as requested. Apart from this the hotel was great.
Really spacious room, great location to get into Oxford, very dog friendly and accommodating. The receptionist in the day was very kind, personable and helpful.

GuernseyWe booked a double room but when we arrived reception said we were in a “compact double”. I thought it was abit strange referring to it as “compact” but sure enough - it was VERY small! If I had known we were in a “compact” room I would have probably chose another as you could barely move in the bathroom. There was no mirror where they had a table and chair, it was all the way over by the door. Tricky for us ladies who want to do our make-up. There was no plug next to the kettle so you had to plug it in on the floor by the door - not particularly safe (it was either that or plug in on the table and take it around to the door where the tea/coffee making items were, it wasn’t practical. The size of the room should have been for a single in my opinion.
The grounds were beautiful and the location was good.

United KingdomWe were in a disability room ie with wet room which meant the bathroom got wet and there was no shower curtain. We didn’t request an accessible room. Toilet was also very high. Room was very dark as there was no central light only side lights.Tv remote did not work.
Nice setting staff very friendly . Bed was comfy with good blackout curtains so slept well.Free parking was a lovely addition

United KingdomWe did not book a breakfast but decided to have one. It was £16 each and very poor value for money. This is because the selection was poor, which was because the staff advised me that a delivery had not arrived which meant a limited selection which included the pastry selection which was only pain au chocolate and croissant and the croissant was already filled with jam which were rubbery and not nice. The cooked selections were not much better because it was dried out and had stood for a long time plus the coffee was dreadful the water was too hot meaning the coffee was bitter. I explained all of this to the receptionist but we still had to pay the full price which was a disappointment particularly because their normal delivery for breakfast did not arrive plus the other issues we had. I would recommend the hotel although it was pricey for what it was although it was clean and the staff were nice. However I would definitely avoid the breakfast and go elsewhere.
The property overall was very good

The room configuration that was promised on Booking.com wasn’t available but the hotel staff promptly remedied it with another solution. Beautifully handled. Also the staff recommended a wonderful Pub for dinner that involved a stunning walk through the village and across the lock. Excellent local suggestion that made our stay.
