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 KingdomA restaurant and bar, particularly in the evening, would have been lovely. We wouldn’t have gone out in the evening!!
Very good breakfast for the price. Very comfortable chairs in breakfast room. Amazingly comfortable bedding. Birdwatching opportunities, especially seeing the cranes in their nests and baby hoopoes.

United StatesAbsolutely nothing!
The chateau is absolutely stunning in its attention to detail. The owners have worked magic with their devotion to this property. The gardens are beautiful, the rooms are luscious and the property stands out as an absolute gem in the little invillage of Challan. We loved the breakfast in such an elegant setting. It’s worth driving out of your way to experience this incredible place and the very special owners who have made a wonderful oasis where you’d least expect it.

GeorgiaIt was cold at night as the heating was off (we were the only guests in the entire chateau and I can umderstand that, but for a traveler with a child it was a bit uncomfortable).
The owner is a very pleasant and caring. We arrived much later than estimated but he met us with a warm smile. The estate is magnificent!

United KingdomWould recommend upgrading to a first floor, not attic bedroom as the stairs took their toll after a long day and the attic rooms though nicely furnished were not as airy with just a small window - thank goodness for the room fan. Although I quite understand the (good) reasons why, it was a faff to ring the mobile number to order drinks and with no on-site restaurant it meant having to drive to find somewhere to eat (almost impossible on a Sunday!).
Breakfast was excellent. Good choice laid out and lovely ambience in the breakfast room. Fresh orange juice, nice pastries wonderful selection of fresh fruit, boiled egg on request... Swimming pool was wonderful. Nice big bathroom. Grounds were extensive and peaceful.
