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 KingdomWas asked to pay the tourist taxon arrival; even though Booking.com states that all taxes and charges are included. The manager backed down when this was pointed out. Both Booking and hotels need to clarify these things better as it was not a good start. The place had only just reopened after the winter; the outside lighting, coffee machine and bathroom heater were not working, but no doubt will be fixed shortly. The decor is somewhat dated especially the floral carpets everywhere.
This old character property is in a quiet and pretty location next to the river with a nice walk alongside. Plenty of private parking. A good stopover place if travelling through France. The room was spacious.

GermanyThe room smells due to humidity ( probably not used or opened a lot - building from 17th century is certainly an excuse ) - insects like spiders forced us to leave before breakfast ( sorry, my Wife does not like it in accommodations )…. However all to be accepted considering building, countryside etc …. Bathroom would need some renovation ….
Romantic place, calm, great to relax, old house with good restaurant , parking spot, lake and nice small town, pool ,….

Francethe Staff ( every interaction with them was great, a young team very helpful and very friendly at the reception and in the restaurant), the location is absolutely splendid. The building is beautiful, old stone lovers you will be delighted The food was good at the restaurant , regarding the breakfast it is inline with the cost, those who complains are either people who never traveled in their life or dont understand the concept of value for money, it was fair for the price.

The staff were very sweet, they were ok with us arriving early and nothing seemed a problem. The hotel is beautiful and has a fantastic pool, sun loungers etc. Breakfast was included and hosted an exquisite array of continental food, the concierge Albo was incredibly helpful and helped us find a restaurant considering a few were closed. The room was clean and had French style, the beds were incredibly comfy. Overall a WONDERFUL stay!

NetherlandsIt was horrific. We had booked the most beautiful room in the hotel, and were given a dark dirty den. The owner said it is normal that the photos of the room do not correspond to reality. That was certainly the case with him, but that is not normal on Booking. There the rooms do correspond to reality. I've already booked hundreds of rooms so I know what I'm talking about. Furthermore, the owner was rude, and also treated his staff very badly. The hotel stinks, is extremely dirty, and old. The toilet seat wasn't even stuck, and everything around the toilet was yellow. Too dirty. We first opened the outer door with a chair, to get the dirty air out. After 5 minutes it stank again. No chance. Unfortunately we couldn't go to another hotel. The breakfast was good, if you like one scoop of bread without butter with only jam. The website also states that the restaurant is open on Sundays. that's not true either. There is nothing else in the area. The nearest restaurant is a 25-minute drive away. Good luck to whoever goes to this hotel. One thing you know for sure, you will extra appreciate the next hotel you are going to .
The young lady behind the reception. She did her best to straighten what was terribly crooked. She deserves better.
