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

Verified reviewI love staying at Maison Mathilde - it is always my first choice when I visit Valenciennes! Nothing equals the peace and tranquility of the beautiful enclosed garden - the only sound is of birdsong. Centrally located in the historic area of town, walks are always full of interest!

Verified reviewThe room was lovely. Air conditioning was very welcomed. Fridge in the room. There is a small amount of parking at the hotel, and loads of street parking (7€ for 12 hours). A short walk to the main centre. Check in isn't until 5.30 but they did allow is to check in 1 hour early.
Staff were polite but not overly friendly. Some background music whilst eating breakfast would have softened the atmosphere. Breakfast basic.

Verified reviewMaison Mathilde is nicely restored in a modern yet rustic look. The room was comfortable and clean with all needed facilities. The breakfast was excellent and plenty. Coffee and omelet made freshly for us. Pastry and bread was of a high quality. I recommend Maison Mathilde highly.

Verified reviewSuperb location, private and quiet, amazing decor.
Overhead rain shower needed repair, and milk and spoon in room would have been nice to go with the coffee.

Verified reviewBeautiful property & large luxurious room. Nice breakfast. Beautiful large private garden.
As there were no other guests is seemed a bit soulless. Difficult to get information regarding local restaurants. Seemed a bit strange with drying laundry hanging on the balustrade during evening. Were told there was no parking available but after paying for overnight public parking discovered there was space on site for several vehicles

Verified reviewMaison Mathilde is in the class of fine boutique hotels, but is a B&B. The breakfast is excellent, the rooms exceed any expectation. We had one called "Jeff", forty square meters with a tub, nice shower and good furniture. King size bed with a perfect mattress. With a free-standing tub in the room itself (no separate bathroom), of course you have to be good friends to share the room with someone, but it is a cool decor. The house is an old mansion with a big park right outside the large breakfast room and lobby.
Actually we almost gave up on finding Maison Mathilde and lodge somewhere else. Because of roadwork, the gps couldn't lead us to the right address, and it was really difficult to find. I think Maison Mathilde might improve the service by informing arriving guests about that and make sure they can actually find their way to this truly wonderful B&R
