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 reviewBeautiful castle, amenities, and surroundings. Kind service (if quite informal). Room with a lovely castle-vibe.
New management seemingly understaffed. New owners re-used what was left by the former 5-star hotel (some high-end details show signs of gradual downfall). Food quality to be improved (especially given the -quite high- prices).

Verified reviewWe had a beautiful room with garden view, absolutely huge.
They really should have been upfront about there being no chef. We were anticipating a really good dinner but what we had was some terrible concoction offered in a strange vase-like receptacle that had been sourced elsewhere and thrown together by the waiting staff. We’ve never been served up such a revolting meal and sadly it really spoilt the stay for us.

Dinner was not what you expect in a lovely chateau in France. Very disappointing.
Dear sir, thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed our team and the place. We also feel sorry to read the dinner did not match your expectations.

Verified reviewWe had a fantastic stay at Château de Codignat! The facilities were absolutely amazing — everything was elegant, well-maintained, and truly fitting for such a beautiful historic setting. The medieval atmosphere made us feel like we were stepping into a real-life castle, which was a unique and memorable experience. A special mention goes to Alex at reception — what a legend! He made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived, and his warm, professional manner really enhanced our stay. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We had read that there was an impressive restaurant but when we stayed the menu was very limited and offered dishes that were microwaved in glass dishes. Nevertheless they were very nice but not what we were expecting

Dinner was not good. They don’t have food cooked on premises and so you could order from a menu and everything was heated up and served in glass jar . Need more staff. Only 1 man on , trying to do everything. He was very friendly though! We Had to walk up 60 steps in a tower to our room. Need a lift. No stand up shower.
Dear Madam G., Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. We are sorry to read that you didn't appreciate your dinner experience.
