Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomMinor points, but cobwebs over the bed and damp towels not replaced after housekeeping,& crumbs left on the bedroom floor even after the bed was made, meant the floor hadn't been swept. Not much privacy in the bathroom for dressing,a window blind would be good. Garden could benefit from a tidy. Didn't detract from our stay there overall.
Central location for walking and amenities. Comfortable bed, and bedding and two easy chairs which were also comfortable. Spacious bathroom. Generous breakfast laid separately for each table, with good quality products, especially the lovely jams! Access to a communal coffee machine, kettle and fridge is good & useful.

United StatesWe were very satisfied and have no complaints that couldn't be resolved. The parking is not on location, but they still provide free parking and help you with that, including in our case, showing us where to park and assisting with luggage.
Our hosts went out of their way to be helpful to us, including making phone calls to local bicycle shops when the one in Saint-Vaast-la-Hogue had no bicycles available for us to use. The breakfast was a classic French dejenuer and we were able to fill out a form to indicate specifically which items we wanted for breakfast, which was then set out for us in the morning. This was especially nice because then we didn't waste things like having juice put out for us that neither of us wanted (this had happened in other B&B settings and we always felt badly not drinking the juice). The room was large and the bathroom was huge. Lovely ancient building with a great yard. Parking was not on location, but they took care of it and it was relatively hassle free. Adelle is an artist and her work hangs in the home and is incorporated into the guest information booklet they provide in the room. A very unique property that we thoroughly enjoyed. Be aware that in Normandy if staying by the coast, there is a good likelihood you will be woken up by the sound of seagulls early in the morning unless you have a sound machine going. Not a terrible way to wake up, unless you hope to sleep in!

United KingdomDespite the spacious room there was only one easychair to relax in.
An excellent continental breakfast was provided, with juices, pastries, breads, yogurts, fruits and more to choose from, with your choice of drinks The rooms were very spacious, the bed was firm and nice and high. Unusually these days there were plenty of coat hangers and storage space. Although parking on hotel grounds was not possible, there was plenty of free parking nearby. Mathieu, the proprietor, was friendly and very helpful throughout our stay.

United KingdomNothing at all, it was super. Exceeded all expectations.
Mathieu and Adèle were impeccable hosts. We are regular visitors to St Vaast but this was the first time to L’Ermitage. The property is beautiful and the pictures on here do not do it justice. It’s right near the centre and is beautifully quiet. The breakfasts were super, and the rooms were spacious, traditional and well decorated. We even bought some of the owner’s very reasonably priced artwork.

United KingdomCan’t think of anything I would change.
Beautifully decorated old property which had every modern convenience. Unique artwork throughout (mostly by Adele who is so talented we had to visit her gallery in town and make some purchases!) with an eclectic mix of furnishings which worked perfectly together. Very comfortable throughout. Spacious garden with lots of private little seating areas which are perfect for a drink or snack or an al fresco lunch. Mathieu is a complete superstar and nothing was too much trouble for him. Prior to our arrival he booked a taxi to meet us from the train in Valognes as we were travelling without a car. He also made several phone calls while we were there to arrange more taxis as our plans changed. Location is perfect, near town but lovely and quiet and also near the coast. Lots of great walks around and plenty of choice for dinner.

United KingdomNothing to do with L'Ermitage, and not greatly bothered, but circumstances meant that our visit was at a busier time of year than preferred. Restaurants tended to be more crowded than previously experienced and reservations essential.
A happy return to a favourite town - and a good location within it. Despite holiday period there was no problem with nearby overnight on-street car parking every day - as Mathieu had assured us.
