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 KingdomLess didn't like and more just to note really. If you want a meal on arrival - check the restaurant times - it is not open every night.
Charming chateau with lovely grounds and comfortable, spacious facilities. Welcomed by a lovely hostess, who was charming, efficient & kindly well spoken in English. We were well settled in within minutes. Breakfast was fresh, more than sufficiently supplied and with freshly served coffee in beautiful crockery - a really pretty departure from the standard issue. Getting down to the car park is just a tad bumpy but they have a secure parking area with plenty of room. Overall, one of those surprisingly lovely finds that we would be more than happy to re visit!!

United KingdomThe bed was not hugely comfy (felt like it had a plastic undersheet). More importantly, we tried to leave at 7:00 in the morning in order to catch a ferry but there were no staff and the gate to car park was locked! Eventually around 8 someone arrived and was very helpful and nice, but you really need to warn guests if they are going to be locked in until a certain time.
The restaurant is excellent. The chateau and the rooms have a lot of character.

FranceThe restaurant was closed which was a pity as we had to go to the city but the hotel staff, Angelina, recommended us few restaurants and also cab services which were great!
We loved the rooms and the ensuite bathrooms. Everthing was so spacious!! The rooms has the perfect castle touch. The view was great with a big garden and the river in the front. We went for a champagne tasting right next to the chateau. There are many chanpagne houses near by walking distance. So if you dont have car also, it doesn matter so much.

United KingdomEverything. See above. Plus better beds, softer pillows. Provide adequate staffing. Where was Angeline and her team to “Experience the French Way of Life” . Untruthful description of the hotel. I am an Architect with 30 years experience in hotels having worked with top Hotel brands and I recognise a bad hotel badly managed. This is a bad hotel.
Nothing. The write up was deeply misleading. Room tired, poor decor, hot and uncomfortable. shower and basin in narrow alcove off bedroom with curtain only privacy. View from lounge of barren weedy concrete yard, cement wall and road. View from bedroom over staff car park. Advertised as having views of vineyards (none) and river ( distant beyond car park hidden by trees) Unhelpful poorly trained staff (2). Had to carry heavy luggage from distant guest car park. (I am 72 and my wife is disabled.) Restaurant closed. Breakfast minimal. Granola but no milk. Poor narrow steep access down lane.

United KingdomThe pool was green and not in use Took 30 minutes to get any response when we arrived at our agreed time (4pm) - no response from door bell, gate intercom or phone. No apology for this when owner eventually opened door Lots of little things were not done - towels missing, cups not replaced, no service at breakfast, patio tables not set up for guests - all resolved when requested Hotel guests seemed a bit of an afterthought - restaurant was very different, and professional Breakfast was overpriced and not great (€14 gets a feast in France usually)
The location near Chateau Thierry is amazing, and the riverside walk along the Marne from the property is just right. The restaurant staff for dinner were brilliant, and the quality of the food and wine was very high attracting locals and tourists. The room was ok in terms of size and bathroom, the lack of a/c and shutters was not great given the price and time of year (June) Hotel kindly stored wine we bought on our travels in a cool place (this was vital!)
