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 KingdomNothing - we loved it!
Great character-filled property, nestled in a very strategic part of Chamonix, for access to the main shops and restaurants, as well as close to the main station, the Montenvers station, the Luge / them park and the Olympic facilities. There’s even a bakery of good quality on the opposite side of the block the apartment is within - very convenient in the mornings! The parking included on site makes this property even more convenient. The apartment is very secure and was lovingly kept. Great scenery from the bedroom windows and the balcony. Very helpful and kind host too. Great communication with us via the app.

LuxembourgUnclear expectations for pet friendliness. We were charged 10 Euros/night for our small dog which didn't do anything in the apartment and no special dog specific arrangements were available either. On the other hand baby crib where a crib has to be brought and installed only costs 5 euros/night. Seemed unfair.
Proximity to the city center and comes with parking. Most restaurants are within walking distance. Convenient for buses/public transport as well for ski lift connections. Views from the house are amazing as well.

CanadaIt was very difficult to find when we first arrived. We mistakenly thought it was a house and the actual building wasn’t as well marked for travellers unfamiliar with the town. We walked in circles for a time. Once we found it though, it was fine

United KingdomNot really much to complain about, and it would be more trivial rather than serious. Minor issues such as the slow WiFi connection speed, which I understand is due to Chamonix not yet have high speed fibre access. Something which is outside the control of Grey Squirrel Home. One other minor detail that needs to be sorted to the benefit of future guests. The deposit of €500......I had to pay was rather than bank transfer. The €500 was returned to me without issue, however I have now returned to the UK with these additional euro's!......There must be a better way of securing the deposit!
The apartment was situated next to the best baker / coffee shop (La Panier) in Chamonix. Fantastic food at reasonable cost. So breakfast was never a problem!.......The apartment itself was very roomy, clean and fresh. There was no signs of previous misuse, and it contained all the modern facilities required. The beds were really comfortable, and a good night sleep was always guaranteed. The apartment was also well located, near to the centre of the town. The railway station being only a 5-minute walk away. The apartment was also very secure with a robust main door (keypad) entry system. Lift access or stairs to the 2nd floor was also an option. Everything was near perfect with this apartment and we couldn't have been more happy than we were with out host (Micheline). All in all, My wife and I would be more than happy to book Grey Squirrel Home again for a future stay.

United StatesThe manager was the rudest I’ve ever had staying at any property around the world. She was abrasive and complained that I didn’t give her sufficient notice about when I was coming despite the property claiming to having a “24 hour front desk”. This is not true… there is just one very angry and rude woman that showed up to let me in and lecture me after I had been awake and traveling for 36 hours to see my daughter. Apparently, they send you an email you have to look out for apart from the instructions from booking.com which we followed. It’s a bizarre and poorly communicated process in the modern world where most of these things should be automated (I have short term rental properties myself, am a super host on Airbnb, and would never subject my guests to this treatment) When it was time to leave, she hovered over us watching my daughter move her bags out of the apartment and made several rude comments. While the property itself was adequate, this woman made the stay very unpleasant. I do not typically leave reviews, but she made us uncomfortable enough that I thought it was worth mentioning to other guests in case they wanted to avoid such an interaction.
Location was great and very central
