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 StatesOnly restaurant open was Rotisserie which was a disappointment - food choices were awful and wait staff were less than cordial. Terrace Grill next to pool only served drinks. No other food options nearby.
Grounds and facilities were nice. Room was authentic but bathroom was tiny and inconvenient. Most of hotel staff was lovely and helpful. Breakfast by the pool was nice with typical choices - though expensive.

GermanyWe had a dinner there, it was overpriced and not great. We arrived late in the evening and were looking forward to some great dinner and drink. We got the beef menu as this was the only option, it wasn't great and full price for the kids and poor quality. Also note that you cannot bring your car inside even to unload your luggage.
The staff was great.

United KingdomWe stayed for one night in early March and the hotel reception, bar and main restaurant were not open. There was no space at the smaller “rotisserie” restaurant for dinner so we had to drive into the village to eat. The only opportunity for a drink was standing up at the bar in the Rotisserie.
This bastide has a hotel plus self catering villas, wedding and conference venue and a spa. The property and the grounds were attractive and we liked the “whispering angels” statues illuminated at night. Our room - one of the larger ones - had a very comfortable bed and nice bathroom with a good shower. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

United KingdomThe food is terrible. We booked the rotisserie restaurant which is the cheaper of the two restaurants. We were phoned a few days before to say they were doing a special truffle set menu that night. That sounds good to us. It was tuna carpaccio, which sounds great but bland, no seasoning, rocket on top with no dressing. Very dull and bland. The second course was chicken or Guinea fowl, with mash potato and truffle. Sounds amazing. Unfortunately we were presented with runny mash potatoes and what could only be described as a bird carcass. There was no meat on it. My wife was presented with a half chicken but only bones. When we asked for a new plate they brought the same plate back to us and told us they would bring some meat on the side. So we sat looking at this dead chicken body waiting for food. All this for 181 euros. Worst food I’ve had in France. Breakfast also looked dreadful. We booked breakfast, had one look and left. Powered eggs, weird sausages and a croissant, I think it was 25 euros a person. We just left.
The building is beautiful. Nice pool area. Rooms are ok although bathrooms very dated. The staff are fantastic.

GermanyThe property was a HUGE disappointment. The serene setting that is advertised was not what we experienced. As far as the room itself - The room decor was bizarre and dated. I’ve seen college boys make better choices at a thrift shop. There was an open hole in our ceiling, bathroom fixtures are dated. The bed was comfortable but we both ended up with suspicious bites. The grounds could have been so lovely and elegant except that there was a conference going on and their appliances were scattered all over the lawn, cardboard boxes were stored at the entry area to the hotel making it all cluttered. The pool furniture is plastic! The tables are faded and worn. The equipment and tools used to maintain the grounds and set up for large groups were all visible. The pond was filthy. During what could have been a relaxing outdoor breakfast, there were constant deliveries to the gourmet restaurant…. The trolleys were very noisy and it ruined the whole ambiance. This hotel needs to decide if they want to be a chateau hotel or if they are simply an event center. There is huge misalignment in the environment advertised and the one experienced if you are a hotel guest. We would not stay here again, regretted the decision for sure beyond the great food. The spa is TINY and didn’t include all of the advertised amenities… the jacuzzi specifically which was one of the reasons we chose this location Very disappointed
The restaurants were amazing. Elegant food and wine choices. The staff were super helpful at the front desk, gracious at the spa and well informed and service oriented at the restaurants.
