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 StatesI didn't have anything to dislike!
We loved our time at Chateau de Melin! This is a one of a kind unique place nestled in beautiful wine country. It is easy to get around and visit vineyards, excellent restaurants in nearby Mersault and explore a variety of wonderful historic locations. We were so lucky with the weather and able to take out the e-bikes for a spin to see where the grapes came from that our wine was made from. Our room was very spacious, had a balcony over the courtyard and was decorated with beautiful antiques. Our view from the other side overlooked a gorgeous pond with a herd of white cows grazing in the field beyond. You can kind of imagine being the Queen of the castle here. The bathroom is very modern and as well, spacious. Best of all, the staff is wonderful. Helene welcomed us and made sure that everything was perfect. Lea took us to the historic Cave underneath the building for a very tasty wine tasting that we truly appreciated. Kudos to Chateau Melin for being so well run, beautiful and comfortable. Thank you for making our stay there wonderful.

Everthing! Hélène was an amazing host and what an incredible place to stay. Loved the location and driving through the burgundy region, and seeing the vineyards, before we arrived at the chateau was magical. Hélène was a fabulous host, the rooms were luxurious, tasteful, spacious and well equipped. Also ideal to travel to Beune, a short distance from the chateau. Lots of safe parking available at the property. Breakfast was superb, Hélène even made me a fresh coffee to take away. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

AustraliaThis place exceeded expectations!! The location was simply sunning. The rooms large. Many beautiful villages and wine tastings just a short drive. A car is necessary to get astound though. My daughter and I walked the vineyards along one of many winding quiet roads with spectacular views! Helene, the owner was super helpful with reservations and ideas for sightseeing. Beautiful and so accommodating. Hope to return one day!

United StatesIt would have been better if GPS was more reliable...I don't believe the hotel could help with this problem
The Chateau could not have been lovelier, right out of a fairy tale. Our apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated. The location was great, although we did get lost in the vineyards thanks to GPS. The host made reservations for us at a marvelous restaurant...it was so good, we returned the next day for lunch. The breakfast, served in the magnificent dining room, was superb. We hope to return. Thank you!
