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.).

The room is very small, especially we were assigned with a room with pitched roof. We couldn't even stand straight when taking shower.

Verified reviewPrivate parking, willingness to store luggage, and water in the rooms. Other than that there is not more good to say about this property.
What a bloody nightmare! First off, the hotel itself is a mess! Walking in, I was hit by a wave of stale air like they hadn’t opened a window in months. The décor? A confusing mishmash of styles that makes no sense – are we in a funeral parlor or a rundown motel? Honestly, I've seen better atmospheres in an abandoned warehouse. And the SERVICE! Oh, my God, don’t even get me started on the staff. Rude, unprofessional, and couldn’t care less about the guests. It’s like they’ve all taken a crash course in how NOT to treat people. Want a warm welcome? Go elsewhere. You’ll be lucky if you don’t get an eye-roll for asking for basic things like clean towels or, heaven forbid, a smile. There is always just one person at the counter that prefers the restaurant guests over the hotel guests, even more the Hotel is supposed to be a '5* Spa Hotel'. The rating does not make sense at all. The "SPA": Looked more like a torture room than a 5-star SPA area. Dark, uninviting and it stank. This is really not how you imagine a top-notch SPA area to look and feel like. Now, the GYM. Are you serious? Outrageous doesn’t even cover it. It’s a joke! A couple of rusty machines in a cramped, windowless room that smells like someone’s been using it as a locker room for decades. I wouldn’t let my worst enemy work out there. If I wanted to get tetanus while lifting weights, maybe this would be the place, but come on—this is supposed to be a luxury hotel? Pull the other one. Avoid this place like the plague. Hôtel Ivan Vautier? More like Hôtel Ivan *Nightmare*. It’s a slap in the face to anyone expecting even the bare minimum of comfort. Trust me, save your money, your sanity, and your sense of smell – book *anywhere* else. Once we told the staff - also what seemed to be the owner of the hotel - that we would like to have a discount since we do not feel like this hotel meets our expectations, she just answered very ignorantly that this is absolutely not possible.

We did not eat in the restaurant, which is am sure is very good , but the property is a bit tied in my opinion and not how i think a 5 star is , but its only my opinion , the staff were fine , the young receptionist was lovely but spoke no English which made asking about the town and where to eat all very difficult , we didnt get the usual map and where to go
