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.).

RomaniaWe have spent one week in Amboise, staying at Les Charmilles. It was the perfect location for me and my family to discover the Loire Valley and I can tell you that Caroline was the most gravious host. The apartment with its two bedrooms was perfect for our family and the terrace is ideal for enjoying meals or a late evening wine. Les Charmilles is literally walking distance from anything in Amboise and really quiet. Loved any minute of it.

United KingdomNo dislikes - but if pushed could only suggest perhaps leaving instruction manuals for electric items being made available in the apartment for oven/dishwasher etc.
We stayed for a week. Loved the privacy and outdoor area, a real plus. An excellent quiet city location with secure parking, which enabled us to walk to everywhere. Caroline gave us a warm welcome and gave lots of useful information for visits, restaurants etc and was on hand if needed. Wonderful amenities and being able to access a film on Netflix on an evening in was a bonus. Well equipped, making stay so easy and pleasant. Loved every minute and hope to stay again.

Great location in Loire valley. Beautiful town with a market twice a week. The apartment was small and perfect for four of us. It was in the grounds of a large family home with great parking, it was leafy and private. Caroline is the home owner and she is warm, friendly and helpful. We could travel to many Chateau’s in less than an hour!

CanadaWe had a wonderful stay at this amazing apartment. The location is perfect—close to everything, yet tucked away enough to offer peace and quiet. One of the highlights was the beautiful garden, a serene and private space that made it feel like an oasis in the town. The apartment itself was clean, stylish, and well-equipped with all the basic amenities we needed for a comfortable and convenient stay. Caroline was responsive and helpful, making the experience even better. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

GermanyPerfect stay in amboise. Fantastic location just minutes walking from everything important. Apt was high quality finishings and very comfortable. The host gave us a warm welcome and tips for the area. It was super comfortable to do laundry, cook, relax and enjoy the spacious flat and great garden. The only thing is if you have a wide and high car there are two pillars next to the entrance gate that the car could scrape coming in so just be careful when entering and exiting the gate.

BelgiumNo bad memories.
The perfect location of the accommodation within the town itself and its proximity to all places /castles/ of interest. The feeling of being part of a mansion and still having your privacy; the design of the apartment - ideal for a 4-member family, with more grown-up kids (given the upper floor reached via a 'floating' type of staircase), with just the right space and amenities for a cozy and comfortable stay. The host was very welcoming - available and friendly without being intrusive. The secured parking place - a valuable asset. The entertainment options 'sur place' were also greatly appreciated - the table tennis in particular. :)

Les Charmilles is a wonderful cottage equipped with everything you could ever need incl welcome bubbles. The location is a few minutes walk from the beautiful pedestrian street in town. We can't wait to return.

South AfricaThere was some mould in the one bedroom, but otherwise nothing to complain about. PS Please don't recommend Café Bruno to guests who want an authentic French experience. Their service was hurried and the ambience was lacking. Not much for people who do not eat red meat!

Excellent location - walking distance to all restaurants (need to book). Not that far to drive to chateaux and other towns. Nice touch to have Netflix for a bit of down time when returning from restaurant. The little lobby area at the bottom of the stairs was a very handy place to leave all shoes and hang coats in the wardrobe. Caroline was a delightful host and extremely helpful.

Nice apartment in the center of Amboise, with parking. All the spaces are clean and welcoming, the city center is just a few steps away. Carolina is a kind and caring host (for example, you have the dishwasher and the tablets too). You have a nice garden, with a table and a umbrella, deckchairs and a ping pong table to share.
