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 reviewGreat location for exploring this part of Normandy. A nice walk (about 1.5km) down to Omaha beach too.
It's a nice base. Beware if travelling with small kids or someone a bit infirm, the stairs is quite steep!

Verified reviewThe apartment is next to a restaurant - after arrival you can pick up the keys at the bar - which is helpful if you need a quick lunck or dinner - we used this opportunity and were happy with the value for money. The apartment is also very close to the Omaha Beach, only 2 minutes drive to that phantastic sandy beach. Also well located if you want to explore all the D-Day memories.
It has two bathrooms which is great, but only one toilet on the ground floor (the bedrooms are on the first floor).

Verified reviewVery roomy and comfortable. Pretty modern and clean. Loved that there is a full kitchen and washer and dryer. Very close to the beach and pretty quiet, even with the restaurant next door. Close to the beach and U.S. cemetery, and only a few minutes to a highway.
There are a few things the owner should improve. First is that the door to the bathroom does not even latch shut so a light breeze can blow the door open. Second was that not enough towels are provided. For four people we were given three tiny towels. And there were no dish towels (or napkins) in the kitchen.

Verified reviewVery nice house and great location to all the major Normandy sites. Very modern home and well cared for.
Only one toilet in the house made for a line with our family of 7. :) It would have been great to have a binder to tell us check-in/check-out procedures, Wi-Fi passwords, etc.

Verified reviewLocation perfect, very easy to get to all the places we planned to see. Very quiet area, good access to shops and restaurants.
Would have helped if the cooker/microwave instructions were left in English, stairs in the property are not suitable for young children or elderly parents. No upstairs bathroom.

Verified reviewGite looked exactly as advertised on photos. It was clean and spacious for a family of 4.
Location right next to a busy road during daytime, but we didn’t have problems sleeping at night because it quieted down. Bigger bath towels would’ve been nice, but we were forewarned by previous reviews and came prepared with our own.

Verified reviewReviewed: 18 July 2023 · Stayed in July 2023
Verified reviewThe proximity to Omaha beach was great. The gite was compact but clean and nicely decorated. It was great to have the washing machine & drier as we are a family of 6. The kitchen facilities were good for eating in and there was also the convenience of the restaurant onsite for eating out (La Cremaillere, the owner of which also owns the Gites... A discount on the restaurant would have been nice 😁)
Its a pity that the wash basin is not located in the WC, it is in the next room (the shower/laundry room). The stairs are a bit dangerous for young kids (and older adults) but managable with care. There is no WC upstairs so you do have to navigate the stairs during the night should you need to use the WC.

No bathroom products eg soap, shampoo, toilet paper. Ridiculously small towels and one less than the number of guests. No tea towels. Attitude of hostess unhelpful and unfriendly bordering on rude.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our holiday stay at Gîte Utah in Normandy and found the location convenient, hosts friendly, and the house well-equipped for all our family's needs. We would recommend visiting the hosts' restaurant next to the house and enjoying the delicious cuisine there. We hope our feedback will be helpful to others who are considering staying at Gîte Utah in Normandy.

Verified reviewNewly renovated, spacious apartment
Very unpleasant owner. It was the first time we had such an experience with booking.com that we had to clean up the apartment or the owner will charge 70eur. It was not mentioned while booking. Booking.com was trying to reach her, but she didn’t answer to them. Please be prepared !
