How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGreat location, nice looking and spacious room with a nice bathroom. Check-in was complicated by a delayed return of the previous guest but was nicely handled by staff.
One of the curtains was broken.

Verified reviewGood: Location. Decor of flat was modern and classic with glass plus exposed bricks with wooden beams. Lots of character.
Not good: Check-in process was awful. I didn’t get sent check-in details due to their IT system failing (codes for outdoor key locks and internal door codes). This is even after calling them to tell this in the morning and afternoon of arrival. By the evening I still didn’t have the codes sent and only got everything I needed after my third call with them. The sink in the bathroom was unusable because it was blocked. The WiFi was less than 1MB/sec so was unusable. The flat had spider webs and dust more than you’d expect. The bed was pretty uncomfortable. There were gone off food items left behind in the fridge by the previous guest which weren’t cleared away. I didn’t think it was clear it isn’t a hotel and therefore doesn’t have a reception, luggage storage, or daily maids to replace sheets / clean the room. I was expecting this.

Verified reviewGreat location on quiet street in central Oxford. Property has been nicely renovated. Trash was emptied whilst and bath mat replaced during my stay which was nice.
Could do with better cleaning and upkeep. The blind was broken and permanently down. The sprung divan bed base had no mattress just a topper so was very hard (when I enquired I was told the divan base is a mattress which it's obviously not). Beams and bathroom skylight were very dusty. I wasn't happy with the lack of a lock on the inside of the room, especially as the door was just a key code.

Verified reviewThe bed was very comfortable and the room was well equipped in general. It was very clean and the shower was very good.
The coffee maker didn't work and it leaked water everywhere. The high chairs were very uncomfortable; ordinary chairs would have been much better.

Verified reviewGreat location for bars, shopping, theatre, easy self check in/out. Clean and tidy room with character. We stayed on a Saturday night so it was a little noisy still when we went to bed but I sleep with ear plugs so didn't bother me.

Verified reviewThe location of Henry's cannot be beaten. It is on a quiet street but right in the middle of everything in Oxford. I was attending a summit at the university and it was the perfect place for my stay. It was like having a little apartment with everything I needed and extremely well located for a quick walk to everywhere I needed to go. When other people were taking ubers in from their hotel I could just run back to the room for a few minutes during breaks throughout the day. Also, breakfast and brunch at the Handle Bar next door was incredible. Go early before the lines start.
I couldn't figure out how to close the little window in the shower which was not an issue for privacy, but the air was a bit bracing first thing in the morning while showering.

Verified reviewBrilliant location for sightseeing, shopping vicinity to the train station and extremely clean. Apartment very comfortable, especially the king size bed. Large bathroom with powerful shower.
As a solo traveller would've appreciated further door security; a safety chain would be great. A couple of mugs please as tea cups very small.

Verified reviewStylish design. Great location. Quiet.
Entry details were lost in a very long email. Access codes etc should have been made much clearer prior to arrival rather than getting lost in the less important information in the email. The room was drafty and the left hand blind didn't work. I would also suggest that the area under the stairs should be de-cluttered.

Verified reviewThe property was beautiful and amazingly located! Really lovely place that we would definitely return too! Great decor, lovely layout and really nicely thought out.
Only minor things like one of the bedside plugs didn’t work and the shower drain needs to be cleared as the tray filled and flooded the floor in the bathroom within the first 5 minutes of your shower. My partner also was kept up until 1:30am with music from the place above the handle bar, but I’m not sure what you’d have been able to do about that.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, as we were involved in activities at a college five minutes' walk. We loved the bathroom too, and the teeny kitchen, though it did not meet the spec. suggested - e.g. fridge? No, it was a wine cooler! Nespresso coffee maker? No coffee - and it was a Lavazza. The design of the whole interior of this teeny building was cleverly thought through. Also, like others before us, we found the peace and quiet to be amazing for the centre of Oxford - although as St Michael's Street was blocked off due to roadworks, perhaps this was just valid for now.
The bed was seriously hard. Actually, I wonder if the mattress had been replaced by a topper - and the fitted sheet was wrapped round the topper and not fitted at all, so the bottom of the bed was exposed. The super shower was spoilt by a kak-handed repair round the base using the wrong materials.
