How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

I can't think of anything we didn't like.
This is a nice little boutique hotel at the end of a short street near the Notre Dame Cathedral. We were made to feel very comfortable by the nicely kept facility and great service and assistance from Isham at the front desk. The room was not large but was adequate with a large bathroom covered with fancy porcelain. We had a great time at this hotel and didn't want to leave. Isham gave us a list of recommended restaurants near the hotel and both meals we had were great. The hotel does a nice breakfast and is worth the money with a nice variety of fresh breads, meats cheeses, salmon, eggs and more. The breakfast room is small but that seems to be the nature of things in Paris. I highly recommend this hotel!

A well placed 4 star hotel in the heart of Paris, in a quiet neighborhood. Less than 5 minute walk to the Pantheon, the Sorbonne, the Seine River. The staff is very friendly and the service as it should be. Will definitely stay there when I revisit Paris.

If I was being ultra critical I would have asked for the Mini Bar to be stocked as it was empty when we arrived, but drinks were available from room service so it wasn't an issue. They have a wonderful French onion soup on the menu also!
Incredible location. Felt so cosy being tucked back from the main road and surrounded by beautiful Parisian architecture. The soft sound of church bells ringing in the morning was amazing. Absolutely loved it here. The staff were polite and accommodating. Very charming basement breakfast room served continental breakfast with scrambled eggs. Beautiful traditional French interior, unlike most of the hotels in Paris now seem to be all kitted out ultra modern and lacking style. Not this one! This is one of the very best and worth every penny! Room service includ

The light switch circuits in our room were strangely wired through multiple switches - making it impossible to leave one light above the bed turned on without another (on the main wall) illuminating the whole room. Odd!
Truly a small boutique hotel in a great location. The smaller rooms are just that - small - while it appears that the larger rooms are maybe twice as big. Staff recommendations for dining in the area were very good.

Our rooms were on different floors, but that was more than made up for by the fact that they let us have one of the rooms so early.
Staff and location were wonderful. They were able to accommodate a super early check-in.

Not a criticism of the hotel at all- instead a tip: check hotel website directly for pricing rather than rely on booking.com as their price guarantee isn’t as it states.
Comfortable room, a/c was quiet and worked well, good breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. Very responsive to any questions. Off the main roads on a quiet street. Room had a tiny “kitchenette”-mini fridge, hot water kettle as well as a single burner.
