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 reviewThe room was excellent and facilities wew awesome.
The property itself was Good. My confirmation said check in at 15:00. I was not allowed to check in until 16:30 and had to wait 2,5 hours in 35 degree heat. There was an umbrella to keep out of the sun, but still very hot.

Verified reviewLovely comfortable accommodation, with lots of indoor and outdoor areas to relax and socialise. Francois is a lovely welcoming host, with nothing too much trouble. Facilities are clean and comfortable, dinner is simple and tasty, close to cathedral and town.
Minor issue: the breakfast could be more substantial for walkers.

Verified reviewFrancois was very kind and helpful to this solo American traveler. He provided dinner and breakfast and I found the community aspect to truly be in the spirit of the Chemin. It was a bit expensive for pilgrim lodgings but with a private room and an option for private bathing I really cannot complain.

Verified reviewComfy bed, clean showers and toilets. François the host was just excellent and so friendly - and I loved the super cute doggy (Roi, if I remember correctly?) 🐶🐶🐶 and the dinner was excellent, too!! Thanks for everything!
It's a bit poorly soundproofed, but it didn't disturb my sleep because a) I was super tired and b) I had earplugs with me - recommend bring those!

Verified reviewas soon as my friend and I arrived, we were welcomed by the owner. He was very nice and friendly, explained and showed us around. We booked a double room but because there where not a lot of guests, we got a bigger one! The beds were comfortable. On request dinner can be eaten in the gîte.
Unfortunately we had a few bug-friends who wanted to stay with us in the room. They are not dangerous but it was a bit annoying that we had to check the mattresses before sleeping. Mosquito-nets on the windows could be useful.

Verified reviewWhen we arrived in the rain the lady allowed us in early. The room was clean and functional for us and close to great food (Chez Dani for a huge, tasty and great priced lunch with lovely staff) and Conques is beautiful with limited accommodation in season, so we were fortunate to find availablity though it was pricier than other areas.
Absolutely nothing.

Verified reviewQuiet beautiful setting
François was very rude and aggressive towards me when I stipulated that I thought 80 € was expensive, he didnt let me finish and abused me verbally for quiet awhile. My issue was that the booking was made for 2 when in fact i was alone and that I wouldnt get dinner nor breakfast for a hostel night !! Eventually he realized that i had been placed in a dormitory rather than a private room. The next day he offered me breakfast i guess he was feeling remorseful but that didnt make up for it. The town offers every night a sort of vigil in the church, really beautiful, the only thing is that there is no lights leading to the gite on very steep and treacherous steps !!
