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.).

CanadaNothing that would stop us from staying there again :) It would be nice if the patio would be partially protected against rain.
Place has a great vibe, clean, well equipped and the owners are really nice. A welcome drink was waiting for us on the first day. We even received a souvenir. Nespresso machine is a huge plus too. The promotional photos are very nicely done, but it still did not disappoint us in real life. Some photos from other users made the place look bad, don't look at those. It's in a very safe area. Sometimes others took the parking spot in front of us, but we always found another spot within a 30 second walk.

IrelandA little over priced but I just put this down to the time of year we visited.
The owner Anne is very helpful and over all a very lovely lady. If we needed something we only needed to ask but thankfully we needed nothing as the apartment had everything

United KingdomCant think of anything!
Anne was fabulous making sure we were settled in OK, even helped us arrange a hire car, then whilst easy to contact, simply left us to enjoy our holiday. Villa Chou Chou is an ideal place to stay for a couple, it is well presented and very private, the plunge pool is an ideal way to start and finish the day. Everything we needed was to hand, ideal kitchen, even an outside gas barbecue. The villa is located in Orient bay which is a gated community with easy access to the beach and restaurants, all on the level. It is ideally situated to explore all of the French side of the Island with easy access tot he Dutch side. A car is essential for anything more than a few days stay. Even a beach umbrella and foam wave board is provided. I have travelled a great deal over the years and this place is high on the list of the best places I have stayed. Thank you Anne for your hospitality, don't change anything, it is a fabulous place to stay.

United Kingdomnothing at all!! we will definitely be back !!
The villa was all you can hope for in a very smart setting! The use of the space is extremely clever, it has all the amenities you may need and more (Nespresso machine, clothes steamer, hair dryer, and many more). The location is excellente in a very safe gated community, with walking access to the beach, excellent restaurants and beach clubs! the astrolabe restaurant was especially great! The pool, whilst fairly small was more than big enough for a very enjoyable dip after a beach day! Anne is the best host, always available and pro-active, she greeted us and showed us around, had the fridge filled with drinks and a bottle of rum, plus as she knew it was our honeymoon, had also chilled a bottle of champagne! Anne also gave us a cute gift: two beach towels embroidered with the villa name !! Book with confidence, you will not be disappointed

CanadaIf you are considering going to St. Martin, I would advise installing WhatsApp on your phone prior to your visit. It was very helpful.
Villa Chou Chou was the perfect setting for a wonderful visit to St. Martin. Anne is a perfect host-very responsive when needed but never in the way, she is a lovely lady. The villa is cosy and so well designed with small kitchen, sitting area with television, nice bedroom and shower. The outdoor space is lovely and the plunge pool is beautiful (nicer now that the plants have grown around it). It is a short walk to Orient Bay beach, small grocery store, and wonderful restaurants. There is no need for a car if you are content to stay in this area, but having a vehicle allowed us to explore the island, always happy to return to Villa Chou Chou.

United StatesNothing ! Except that we couldn’t stay longer
Beautiful property located about a 10 min stroll to the perfect Orient Beach. Plunge pool was a treat though we spent our time on beach. Village area near beach has great restaurants, supermarket, coffee / breakfast area. No need for car if staying here, east to get taxis for side trip to Loterie Farm and other trips.
