How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewLe Bourbon it is located in a really central place, walking distance from all city centre places to visit. We were welcomed by Pascal, absolutely smashing, really welcoming, helpful and friendly. He also speaks several languages. The room was spacious and the toilet, not modern but really usable. There is good aircon, as the rooms can get hot, we were there in the middle of a heat wave. Breakfast was generous buffet and good, with some lovely baguette and very good coffee. There were works on the square where the hotel is , but it was very quiet at night anyway. Wifi as also very good. Pau is a lovely little city, with great walks and unexpected historical facts, like having been the place where was born the last king that French people loved( the first Bourbon). All in all, a very good stay, Merci Beaucoup Pascal!
It was not clear to me the complication to park the car when we arrived, as the hotel does not offer one. That said, in the Place Clemenceau which has a super cheap rate of €4 all nitght until 8 am. There are not far also large open air car parks with ridiculously cheap rates, like €3 per day or similar. Again, Pascal at the reception was very helpful in letting us know the options. The hotel is really not new, but it does not feel too tired and definitely is not uncomfortable.

Verified reviewThe accommodation was in the center, close to attractions, terraces and restaurants.We didn't need public transportation, everything was within easy walking distance.The cleanliness was acceptable.
The hotel's equipment is old, the rooms also need some renovation. There was construction work going on in the square in front of the hotel, which was a bit disturbing, but this is not the hotel's fault. Overall, we recommend this hotel for 1-2 nights in Pau due to its location.

Verified reviewThe hotel location cannot be beaten! Right on Place Clemenceau, the centre of Pau, and within walking distance to all the main points of attraction.
The hotel was very dated, and could certainly do with upgrading. In room facilities were non-existent. The wifi was poor, there was no English language TV channel (just CNN would have been acceptable). In-room tea-making facilities would greatly enhance comfort in the room.

Old, small room, window did not work, and just way too expensive for what it is. I stayed in Ibis Budget rooms for less than 50 euros in much better locations.
