Our personal low point, sorry to say, out of ca. 50 accommodation bookings @Booking.com
Pros:

Rooms were reasonably clean. The location is well connected to Oxford City by public transport.

Cons:

The guesthouse representation on the booking.com website is highly misleading. *Some* of the rooms are renovated. The one we were offered – room 17 – was in shambles. Teeny-weeny, worn, a broken faucet handle in the tiny bathroom, it was overall quite substandard. The renovated room – #19 – we were allowed swap into on day 3 was better, but still uncomfortable. An antique electric water heater (depicted) in the small shower cabinet first produced cold water, which was suddenly jumping to searing hot, finally giving up altogether.
We had booked this accommodation through booking.com with breakfast, but the guesthouse staff apparently didn't get that information. On the day following our evening arrival, we were denied breakfast by the house maid on the claim that breakfast was not included in our booking. While we first were under the impression of just a clerical error, the personnel steadfastly claimed in the days that followed that a breakfast for us was "not in their books".
Later, in lengthy discussions with the guesthouse manager, Anthony Pilak, presenting him with the written contract from booking.com, it was not clear whether the Manager just played dumb or had fraudulent intentions (generally, all personnel at Lina Guesthouse were not capable of straightforward, clear communication in plain English).

Pros:

Das kleine Zimmer unter dem Dach hat mir am sich gut gefallen. Es gab Tee und Kaffee (recht reglementiert) und ein kleines Waschbecken im Zimmer. Das Gemeinschaftsbad auf gleicher Etage wird mit dem Nachbarzimmer (Einzelzimmer) geteilt. Das wäre an sich ja kein Problem...

Cons:

... wenn nicht die mit nutzenden Männer im Stehen gepinkelt hätten. Beide 'Exemplare'! Disgusting!
Leider wurde das Bad nicht täglich gründlich geputzt. Auch die Fußmatte hätte bei Mitnutzung und wechselnden Personen täglich getauscht werden müssen.

Pros:

L'emplacement est très bien. Pratique d’aller à Oxford et alentours en bus. Le personnel est très gentil.

Cons:

La chambre est sous les toits et il y faisait très chaud. Heureusement il y avait un ventilateur.

Una guest house gradevole
Pros:

Accoglienza ottima, colazione ottima, personale molto gentile. Letto comodissimo, queen size.

Cons:

tipiche scale ripide, poco pratiche se si hanno valigie pesanti, ma come d’abitudine in UK.
