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.).

United KingdomIt’s a fully equipped and beautiful cottage, surrounded by a glorious garden, and literally around the corner from the Chinon castle, as well as the town centre, also accessible by a nearby lift if needed. Sylvie the host is really lovely, and everything was straight forward, helpful, and clear. Highly recommend this place, and if you’re lucky you’ll make a new friend with the garden cat :) no faults at all, she even left us coffee for the morning after our arrival, and a bottle of local wine. Thank you!

United StatesKitchen was quite small. Ok for fixing breakfast and easy meals but might be hard to cook a fancy meal. Guest were expected to clean the place before departure or leave a clean fee in cash. Not a big deal as we were in no rush during checkout day.
Lovely self standing studio apartment in the backyard of the owner house. Easy parking just outside the property. Locked gate to the property provided privacy and security. Owner was welcoming and available. Studio was well appointed and well decorated. Lots of information was provided on area attractions. Two lovely outdoor areas were available to us. No cleaning fee. Well located - steps from the castle and elevator into town.

CanadaWith just a 2 night stay we did not bother to ask for heaters to be turned on, but we would have liked some heat on these cool, damp September nights.
This is a beautiful property that combines peace and privacy with great access to the fortress and to restaurants, local wineries and shops.

United KingdomThe garden is sensibly divided with the owner, but she has given a generous amount to the Gite and its very private and there are 2 places outside to sit. The house is very well appointed and my wife commented that the owner has thought of everything. its a nice decent sized place to stay for a short break, and its very conveniently located for Chinon. the owner is lovely, very friendly, but is discrete so will stay out of your way unless you need her. highly recommended.

United KingdomThe Franch style square pillows were too soft.
The location was excellent. Close to the city and extremely close to the Château. The gìte is very well equipped inside and out. Though there is very limited parking available immediately outside the property. There is a decent car park less than a five minute walk away. Sylvie is very convivial host.

NetherlandsThe weather was sometimes terrible but that wasn't Sylvie's fault.
We had a wonderful time in the "garden house" in Sylvie's Paradise. Had a walk around Chinon every evening, sometimes using the "accenseur" when we were tired. The garden house is really wonderful, everything you could need was available. We were on a wine excursion buying wine for the coming year and were able to store it in Sylvie's underground cellar. The last evening after packing all the wine in the car we were able to leave the car inside the locked courtyard door. Wonderful time, surly hope to come back next year. Thanks again Sylvie.

IrelandGite la Cométe is excellently located adjacent to Chinon Fortress overlooking the old town, which can be accessed directly by lift. It is tastefully decorated and very well appointed. We spent a marvellous week here and particularly enjoyed our host's wonderful garden, which offers several seating and dining areas - all cleverly screened to provide privacy. We thank Sylvie for her warm and generous welcome and intend returning to her beautiful gite. Deirdre and Brian
