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 KingdomAll good - rooms might be hot in the height of summer as no aircon, was a fan in our room.
We had to make a very late booking as arriving in Chatellerault the hotel we had booked turned out to be shut!!! L'Univers stepped into the breach at 8.30pm. Receptionist very friendly and helpful. Room clean and bed comfortable. Good breakfast. Free parking directly outside (until 10am) Centrally located with restaurants nearby.

NetherlandsIt’s in the center of town. Very friendly people. We had an early check in. Which was very nice because it was cold and we were on a bicycle tour. Very traditional French hotel with cracking floors and a very small and slow elevator. Lots of 70’ties charme. But also very clean and a very good and new bed. An there is a inside bicycle storage at a low fee. Breakfast was great.

United KingdomA lovely welcome from a very charming French cheery lady. The rooms looked to be refurbished. Great bathroom with everything you need. All a bit grey..... but that is all. Just steps from the town. We ate at, La Ferme Saint Jaques, which was fabulous. The town was a little disappointing.

Central location. It was an extremely hot day. However we actually didn't need to close the curtains it was a lovely comfortable room. New shower fitted. Spotlessly clean. Large fan in room. Comfy bed. We could park right outside for free after 6pm. We didn't eat breakfast. Reception is only manned at 4pm. So don't arrive early as parking regulations could be as much as 25 euros for all night. When there's no need as the Parking has a two hour restriction limit yet it's free after 6pm. If you arrive at 5pm get a ticket from the machine for one hr free. Pretty aspect. The Hotelier kindly recommended two restaurants in town to dine at. Which we did. And enjoyed.

United KingdomWe stayed at Hôtel L’Univers in Châtellerault on the 31st of August and had a lovely experience. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made us feel at ease straight away. Our room was comfortable and just what we needed for an overnight stop. Breakfast the next morning was excellent with plenty of choice, fresh and tasty – a perfect start to our onward journey. A big thank you to the staff for looking after us so well, we’d be very happy to return. — Pauline & David Stewart

United KingdomThe hotel and town/city centre reflected each other; both really tired and desperately in need of an update. The charge to store bikes (although nominal) felt cheeky, especially given they were simply put in an unused side room locked to a radiator. Getting the bikes out was delayed as the receptionist turned up late the next morning. Unless you really can’t avoid the town/city and this hotel, we’d avoid.
There’s not a huge amount to recommend this hotel I’m afraid. It’s not expensive in real terms but expensive for what it is.
