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 reviewThe hosts (Mike and his daughter Julie) were absolutely lovely, the accommodation (+ balcony) was very spacious and located at a very central location in town. Close to the beach, restaurants and harbour. Trou d'eau douce is the cutest town and Studio Manguillier the best accommodation to explore it from. I highly recommend staying here!

Verified reviewIt is a private house on the second floor of the owner's house, and although it is old, it is clean and has a well-equipped kitchen. You must use the public parking lot across the street. There is a boat trip office to Ile aux cerfs around. The water pressure is a bit low.
There are no big supermarkets around.

Verified reviewThe accommodation provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, matching the description and photos provided online. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities (had a good massage ten minutes walk away). There is a nice balcony for sitting out in the evenings and a couple of very nice restaurants within walking distance of the apartment - one virtually next door which looked like a fast-food joint but was actually very good. Good value for money - we felt we got what we paid for. The hosts were friendly and helpful, ensuring our needs were met throughout our stay. Overall, we would stay there again.
Internet in the living was fine, not so good in the bedrooms.

Verified reviewBeach view. Close to public transport, Reasonably close to shopping and daily cleaning by staff and new towels daily. Guest bedroom. Kitchen well stocked with all necessary cooking implements.
Nothing really.

Verified reviewThe apartment has been cleaned every day and fresh towels have been provided daily without even asking. The host has been very kind. The kitchen is quite well equipped. There are plenty of restaurants nearby ( we recommend Nr1 just on the right) and a parking lot in front of the beach, which is just 50 meters from the building.
The apartment is very old and not very large, with a lot of noise coming from birds on the metallic rooftop as soon as the sun rises, and it is quite hot. Of course there is ac but only in the bedroom, and it's not possible to dine inside because there is a table only outside on a terrace. But, most of all, the pictures in booking do not portray the apartment we booked, but the apartments in the middle floor (which are way better than the ones on the upper floor). So, make sure that your booking refers to any apartment (there are 2) in middle floor, but be prepared to be disappointed if you book the upper floor.
