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.).

Absolutely nothing. It was a 10 out of 10 experience.

Verified reviewThe hosts are very amenable. The grounds of the Domaine are beautiful with mature fir, yew and olive trees. The breakfast was well presented with fresh fruit, cheese, yoghurts and croissant as well as gluten-free bread for my wife. We had a nice swim in the pool after our long drive. The room was cool and we didn’t need the air conditioning on the hottest day of the year so far.

Verified reviewThe actual place was beautiful and the rooms very comfortable.
Your site said they served dinner. They did not and when the owner said she would make me something I was thrilled because I was exhausted from traveling. I had a bowl of vegetable broth soup, 1 sausage and a small salad for dinner and a store bought tarte for dessert. I got the bill in the morning and it was nearly 50 euros! She was not there on checkout when I paid for the dinner and I bought some shower gel. When we walked around, they had wine outside in the fridge. I did not either understand or was told I would be charged by the glass. Listen, I am not cheap and when it is said to you "Help yourself" I understood this to mean the wine came with the purchase of the room, which was near $200/night. I traveled around for the next 10 days, all while receiving numerous emails from the owner. I did not respond because I did not have an international data plan, and the emails continued. Now she has accused me of not paying for the overpriced meal or the bath gel - which was purchased and run with one of the staff. I've stayed in a lot of hotels and have not ever received this type of treatment. Just not satisfied at all.

Verified reviewDelicious breakfast with high quality food served at the terrasse. Very attentive hosts. We enjoyed the well-maintained park and even prepared a meal in the well-equipped outdoor 'summer kitchen' with a good bottle of red wine from the owner
the room (chambre prune) was unfortunately somewhat cold and moist in early June. We had to ask for extra blankets, and a small electric heater for the bathroom. The sunbeds in the garden are not any longer particularly comfortable.

Verified reviewWhere does one begin? The owners, Laurence and Guillaume are a fantastic couple, really lovely, friendly people, who have created this amazing estate. The extent of the grounds is much more than what one sees in the photos. It is so peaceful, quiet and serene. There are so many different sections one can choose to relax in; the pool side, the rose garden, the summer kitchen, meadows, orchard… we stayed in La Garenne gîte, and it was perfect. Our cycles were left out on the terrace of the gîte, which is spacious with a huge parasol, a table and chairs. We had breakfast by the pool three times, and it was such a delightful way to start the day. Three sisters who turn up to look after the rooms, and help with breakfast are all charming young ladies. There is an Intermarché just around the corner, and a brilliant boulangerie in Mércuès just two minutes’ drive away. The location was perfect for cycling. Endless choice of wonderful rides, along or away from the Lot. My favourite ride was to Les Arques, via La Mouline. The scenery is stunningly beautiful, and there is a beautiful tea room there, also a museum showing the works of Ossip Zadki e, who lived there for 30 years. There is also the restaurant La Récréation, reservation essential, which was v good, but the food was a tad too rich for our tastes. Guillaume’s family is in the wine business, he makes his own label, and has connections with the most prestigious Cahors red, the Cahteau Cayx. I bought half a case of Le Majesté, 2014, which is sleeping in a cool place, having a rest after our long drive back, and very much looking forward to sampling a traditional “black Cahors”. Overall, a fantastic place to stay.
There is nothing there to dislike.

We didn't have a TV in our room, the only reason we noticed this was because it was the rugby World Cup.
