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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomThe hotel closes its gates at 10.00. You are given a security code, but on the one occasion we returned at 9.45 (having realised we had left the code in our room) the hotel gates were already locked and no one was answering the phone. Thankfully some other guests came to our aid. There is no service in the hotel after 10.00.
A stylish, tastefully decorated hotel in a great location. Our room was clean and comfortable. There is also a pleasant downstairs lounge. On-site parking available.

United KingdomOfficially, the street is closed to all but cyclists: this needs to be made clear to prospective guests. Limited space in parking
I'd stayed here before, years ago, and was pleased to find it again. Elegant, old-fashioned (a piano in the lounge?), tastefully furnished guest room with v comfortable bed. Helpful reception staff: think the manager/ proprietor was there as I arrived and left: a nice touch Beautifully laid-out breakfast

United KingdomI would have liked some snacks available in the room as I arrived late in the evening. The tea station didn't have coffee or breakfast tea & milk, though there were a selection of herbal & green teas.
The building has lovely old architecture. The rooms were large and high ceilinged. There was a comfortable beautiful salon (lounge) on the ground floor. The hotel provided a classic French continental breakfast buffet, together with a "boil your own egg" machine! It feels like a real traditional hotel, a million miles from the chain hotels I am often put in for business trips. There staff are friendly, were patient with my French, but also speak English. There's a door code to get in after the reception closes at 10pm.

United KingdomThe breakfast was ok but was a bit limited in choices. The tea selection was poor for example. The radiators in the room are noisy and could do with bleeding.
The location was great, really easy access. The room & hotel decor is original. The bed was comfortable. The croissants in the morning were good.

The hotel is in downtown Pau, within easy walking distance from the Promenade and interesting parts of the City. The Staff were extra friendly and helpful. When we asked what we should see, the young woman gave us a map and drew a walking tour on it for us. Our room had plenty of space and the public rooms are attractive. The breakfast had good variety. I highly recommend it!
