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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewBig house with lots of space, fully equipped and charmingly decorated. Great, spacious pool with lots of different groups of sun beds around. Wonderful place for meals outside. Everything provided, very relaxing. Table tennis, a cupboard full of games in the house. Very nice canoe rental down in Chinon.

Verified reviewA beautiful house in a lovely quiet village, 20 mins walk into Chinon made this a perfect location for our holiday. The house is lovely, beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything we needed, including a lovely outdoor area and pool. The host, Jean-Claude was very welcoming, meeting us on arrival and showing us round the house. He also very kindly bought us some groceries to see us through to the first morning as we arrived after the supermarket closed on the first evening. We had a lovely couple of weeks here and I hope to return again in future
Nothing- everything was great & even in 30+degrees weather the house stayed nice and cool & the fans in each room were also very welcome

Verified reviewFantastic accommodation in a very quiet village. The house and surrounding gardens are spacious, look newly renovated with a modern kitchen and living room, and extra points for lighting. Each of the rooms are styled to the smallest detail, with large comfortable beds. This house can easily accommodate several couples for a holiday to Chinon or surroundings. The pool is of course a major plus!
Difficult to improve this any further!

Verified review5 of us stayed at La Douce France for 4 nights and absolutely loved it! The house is really spacious and you can see the effort that has gone into providing everything you could need. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well kept and the pool, garden, bbq area mean you can spend full days there in the sun. The house was clean on arrival and off-street parking is provided. No shops nearby but only a 20min walk to Chinon which has plenty of restaurants and boulangeries, and cycle and canoe hire.

Verified reviewMelany and Jean-Claude created a beautiful oasis where all our family had a wonderful holiday in the Loire Valley. Everything we needed - and more - was available to ensure we could concentrate on enjoying ourselves thoroughly. We couldn't recommend this location highly enough.

Verified reviewJean Claude's place was big, spacious and very accommodating for our party of 7 (6 adults and 1 toddler). We had a lovely afternoon in the pool and headed out to a restaurant as per one of Jean Claude's recommendations which was delicious. Jean Claude was a fantastic host and we felt welcomed from the minute he opened up the place for us. It was very clean and comfortable and we would happily stay again.
It was a little hot in the bedrooms in the afternoon but there is a fan in every room which really helped. It didn't ruin our stay.
Thank you so much Harriet, so glad of your lovely stay. Yes what an incredible hot week you get but fortunately there were some fans. Hope to see you again a day. God bless you all.

Verified reviewThe house is super cozy and lovely. Lots of refinements. But above all, we loved the fact that everything is done so that the traveler lacks nothing, down to the smallest detail. It's very rare to see that, and just like the hosts, we found them to be wonderful.
Absolutely nothing to say

Verified reviewGreat pool, well equipped house and good location for walking biking to Chinon which is a lovely town. Good communication with host - friendly and welcoming.
Not a big problem as we had the bedroom with ensuite bathroom, but others had to share bathroom or access bathroom through our bedroom.

Verified reviewExtremely nice host welcomed us to a very beautiful property. Very complete equipment, comfortable bedding, well equipped kitchen, nice pool, onsite parking...The house is located in a quiet village just outside Chinon.
Nothing really that we did not like. It is best to have a car as this is quite a stroll to Chinon (especially the way back), and to visit the area. You can also alternatively rent bikes in Chinon.
