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...).

CanadaLe 31 is about a 20 minute walk from the train station. The house is a beautifully restored place with exceptionally well detailed and decorated rooms. There’s pristine bathrooms and a nice patio to relax in during your stay. The host takes pride and care ensuring your stay is comfortable and memorable. The breakfast provided each morning was varied to suit all tastes and hit the spot each time. There’s a few good restaurants in walking distance. My stay was great. Very memorable.

South KoreaThis is one of the absolute cleanest properties I have ever stayed in, hotels included! Our room was cozy, the bed very comfortable, a true King size! Loved especially the spacious bathroom, awesome shower! There was no air conditioning in our first floor suite but the room stayed naturally VERY cool, even during a 35C heat wave. (A fan is provided but we only used it once.) Alison is a dedicated host, highly responsive as well as proactive. Her homemade breakfast spread is a delight—it is petit dejuener style with fromage/charcuterie. (Alison’s dinners are also reasonably priced and delicious!) The B&B is ideally located, close to everything! Free parking was a nice bonus, though sometimes you have to play the hunting game for a spot. Highly recommended!

United StatesNot really anything. I can see if the weather is really hot that the room would not be as comfortable because there is no real air conditioning. But that is something that you should expect if you pick to stay in a historical home near a historical center.
Allison is the owner of this lovely B & B. She is very responsive and accommodating and really goes out of her way to make sure your stay is as nice as possible. Her breakfast is amazing as she bakes her own bread and croissants and they are great.....not like mine ;) The location is great with free parking nearby and walkable to all the restaurants and shopping in town. Allison has great advice on the best places to eat in town and what to do in the surrounding areas of the Loire Valley!

Alison prepared a delicious assortment of homemade breakfast pastries and tarts, cheeses and meats, cereal, and more, all absolutely delicious. The table setting was beautiful and suited the lovely renovated historic home. The conversation around the table was always interesting, and Alison is a welcoming host. The location was perfect for walking everywhere or driving to castles. Ambroise is a beautiful village in an excellent location for visiting the Loire area of France. Highly recommend this AirB&B.

10 stars are not enough to describe how excellent our stay was. The moment we checked in our luck began to improve as we had been robbed in Paris and the wonderful host Alison helped us in many ways to help us get our situation resolved. She is a caring and very knowledgeable person who assisted us in so many ways. She is an excellent chef as well and the dinner and breakfast she prepared for us was delicious and special and at a better price than anything close to the same quality in town. Cleanliness was above board, comfort excellent, and Alison's attention to detail was perfect. Thank you Alison and Le 31 B&B!!

United StatesNothing. except we should have stayed a few more days!
Alison, the owner, was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area and sites to see. The breakfasts were handmade using local and regional ingredients. Fresh, warm from the oven, croissants and breads, local meat and cheeses, fresh fruit and homemade jams and fruit compote were all delicious. The bed and pillows were divine. Nice sitting room upstairs with hot pot to make tea in the evening. Very cozy and welcoming home. The town was very walkable and fun to explore. We enjoyed Chateau de Clos Luce. Lots of street parking close to the B & B.

United StatesEverything was fantastic except our room did have a little bit of road noise, so we had to sleep with closed windows, which isn’t our preference. We were in the only room that faces the street, so if noise is an issue for you too, just book any room except the yellow room.
This is a very charming and comfortable town home that is just a short stroll to the main square in Amboise and the two chateaux. There is also plenty of free parking nearby. Alison is a great host, very interesting to talk to, and a wonderful cook as well. (Definitely take her up on dinner if she offers it.)
