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 KingdomNothing.
We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived being greeted by Marilyn the daughter of the owners. Our room was a little small but very compact and had all necessary amenities. I suppose we could have had a larger room at a higher price, but this was fine for us. It had a patio and balcony overlooking the garden and pool. Also well air conditioned where we could adjust the temperature. The breakfast was superb served to us by Didier on a try which contained everything one could want. Also we had the choice of having it by the pool, inside the small lounge or in our room on the patio balcony. We choice by the pool which was great. Nothing was too much for Marilyn or Didier, who both spoke English and helped us plan our days around the area. Such as the medieval hilltop village, Port Grimaud and Saint Tropez. There was also plenty of parking area if arriving by car. The pool was superb with plenty of beds and seating areas, all kept spotlessly clean. In the garden just passed the pool area there was a delightful small rustic restaurant run independently from the hotel by two charming brothers. A small menu but they would do anything for you if you were to suggest something, with notice of course. All in all Hotel Athenopolis is a real find and would recommend to anyone reading this who are travelling through or around this area, before they reach the hustle and bustle of the French coast resorts which are not far away.

United KingdomI said we didn't eat much for breakfast just coffee and hot chocolate, but got charged for 2 breakfast which came to over 30 euros for myself and young son who didn't eat.
Beautiful charming property. Blissful pool area which feels secretly enclosed with trees and flowers. Polite staff and decent breakfast served to you by the pool area.

GermanyLike always, lovely hotel, super welcoming and nice hosts, perfect view out of a lovely hotel room. It's a hotel which I would highly recommend to everyone who needs to calm down, relax and let thoughts fly - no matter if it's a business or holiday trip. Familiar atmosphere paired with a very good comfort, delicious breakfast and surrounded by beautiful and amazing nature.

United KingdomExcellent value for money, wonderful hosts, simple, charming and exactly what we needed. Loved the fact it was a short drive from two beautiful villages, up in the hills. Very private. Hosts Didier and Marilyn were so friendly and helpful. If you want a simple, inexpensive, quiet hotel close to St Tropez and Grimaud, this is a winner!

Cute family-run hotel with a villa setting. The pool is nice and not overcrowded. What I liked the most were the staff who were incredibly hospitable and kind to me and my friend. Very tranquil environment, tucked away on the hills of Grimaud, a perfect place to relax.

United StatesRooms are cute but too small to open a suitcase. It was unclear that breakfast was a separate charge, and no one mentioned it when I asked about it. They only said 'what beverage would you like with your breakfast?' never mentioning the cost. Felt a little bit shady. When I was surprised about the cost of the breakfast at the end, the woman became very defensive, saying that we arrived late, basically accusing us of being rude. Typical French 'service.' Customer is always wrong in France.
Beautiful property. Gated entrance made it feel secure. Loved the pool area and garden. The decor is playful and kitschy which I love. It was nice to have breakfast by the pool. Central location in town.

SpainYou had to be careful when showering not to splash water out. The washbasin unit has no shelves so you either put your stuff on the floor or not use It. The separate toilette is practical but It has plastic seats. The beds were noisy when you turned . To enjoy the quietness you have to stay away from the crowds which meant having to drive uphill every nighty. The area is expensive in the summer but we thought that 200 Eur plus was a bit too much form what It offered.
The quietness of the place. The room has a reaso able size, and has a small terrace. It was lovely to return to the beautiful garden and pool area after a day of visiting places. The owners are a very nice couple. We were given valuable information on how to commute to St Tropez. We did not have breakfast but had coffee and it was really good. The parking was confortable and right next to the building.
