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 reviewGreat location and services. We went with our newborn and the room had a cot, changing mat and baby bathtub ready. And we also brought our dog and there was a bowl, clean bed and toy for her. Everything is super clean and the swimming pool area is really nice, with amazing views. Lovely staff
We' d love if the dog could stay in the outdoor restaurant or the swimming pool area, but I understand this may be uncomfortable for some guests.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for sharing your kind words following your recent stay with us. We are delighted to know that you and your family, both your newborn and your four-legged companion , felt so warmly welcomed and cared for. It is a true pleasure to read that the baby amenities and thoughtful touches for your dog contributed to your comfort. We are equally pleased that you enjoyed our unique location, the cleanliness of our facilities, the swimming pool area with its stunning ocean views, and, above all, the attentiveness of our team. We fully understand your wish to have your dog with you in more areas of the hotel. Out of respect for the comfort of all our guests, we must limit access to certain spaces, but please rest assured that your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our management team for consideration. It would be our great pleasure to welcome you back soon to Sofitel Biarritz Le Miramar for another stay by the Atlantic. Kind regards, Juliette Wattinne Guest Experience & Quality Manager

Verified reviewGreat location, spacious room, great view, comfortable bed
The room & balcony were quite run down for a 5* hotel. Shower over the bath rather than a full shower. The balcony was dirty with 2 very basic metal chairs & little table. The breakfast area was very cramped due to an event in the main dining area ( for all 4 mornings we were there).
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to know you enjoyed the spaciousness of your room, the comfort of the bed Sofitel MyBed, and especially the beautiful view and location These are indeed some of our most appreciated features. That said, we regret to hear that certain aspects of your room and balcony did not meet your expectations, particularly considering the standards you associate with a 5-star experience. Your observations regarding the condition of the furnishings, bathroom layout, and balcony setup are well noted and have been shared with the relevant teams for review. We also apologize for the inconvenience caused during breakfast service due to the event taking place. We understand how important a relaxed start to the day is and are sorry this aspect of your stay fell short. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and offer you a more seamless and enjoyable experience. Kind regards, Juliette Wattinne Guests Experiences & Quality Manager

Verified reviewGreat location with fabulous sea views and easy walking distance to town. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the pool area was really lovely.
The room and bathroom were a bit dated, and the exterior of the hotel showed a lot of wear and tear from the sea air. It could do with a spruce up, inside and out.

The outdoor pool was closed for renovation. As this was a quick break to sunbathe and relax around the pool, it was very disappointing. To compensate we were upgraded without any fuss, and the staff did everything to make our stay fabulous.
