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):
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.).

Room was cool whilst very hot outside. Great Location for Clos Luce, and only 15 minutes walk to town centre and restaurants. Really nice dining room and good breakfast. Parking area locked at night.

United StatesParking is up a steep driveway and we got in and out ok but it is a bit challenging.
The location is perfect, right across the street from Close Lucé and an easy 15 minute drive to Chenonceau. Short walk to all of the restaurants and shops in Amboise. Breakfast was lovely, with breads, yogurt, cheeses, ham, eggs. Hosts were warm and welcoming. Bed was comfortable. Shower was hot. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and relaxing. We stayed in the junior suite with terrace.

United StatesThe spiral stair to the loft is very narrow, and would not be comfortable for all guests. This is especially important since the toilet and the bed are on different floors. But if you are OK with that setup, the place is wonderful
Phillippe is a wonderful host, and the location is spectacular. In addition, the property itself is wonderful. The bed was very comfortable.

United StatesI suffered significant injury while using the bathroom. There is a small alcove where the toilet is located and it is only about 5'3" high. I struck my head hard enough to draw blood, twice. The tight spiral staircase up to the bedroom, from the sitting area and bathroom at ground level, also required great care to avoid hitting one's head on the sloped ceiling. The shower door needed adjustment so that it could close more easily. My wife flooded the bathroom floor before she realized there was a problem. These problems may be specific to the room we had.
Breakfast was very good and the entire property was very clean and generally well-equipped. Our host was very helpful and friendly. He helped us get taxis to our local destinations, twice (since our French is not good). The location was only a block from one of our tourist sites and only a half-mile from another. It was a long walk with luggage (1.5 miles) from the train station, but even that wasn't too bad.
