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 KingdomIt is impossible to not like anything about this Chateau as it is as good as it gets.
The sheer quality of everything from facilities to the perfect hosts of Thierry and Ann-Marie sum up Chateau de Maraval. The room was superb and we loved the soft walk in shower tray. The spa was was fun and the breakfast was excellent. The common rooms for guests were stylish and comfortable.

United KingdomNothing to fault! Finding the Chateau, it is also referred to as Castle Maraval which is easier to find on Google maps
Host was very helpful; we arrived late and he immediately phones local restaurants to find a table for that evening. All facilities are of a very high standard. Breakfast excellent, spa and pool facilities are also very good. Location is very central for exploring the Dordogne Valley.

United StatesThere was nothing that we did not like.
I would rate this chateau not just a 5 star but as a 10 star experience. From check-in to check-out, Anne-Marie and Thierry, the owners, not only met our every need, but they also exceeded our expectations. Their kindness and thoughtfulness made the stay so special. The room was immaculate, airy, bathroom was extremely large and exceptionally well appointed. Our room was very comfortable for a 10 day stay. The chateau only has 4 rooms which makes the stay feel very intimate without feeling small. The chateau in addition to the guest rooms has a large dining room, kitchen, living room and spa that was available to the guests. The chateau was very large, with the facilities and expansive grounds surrounding the chateau. Breakfast could not have been better. I had a made-to-order omelet each morning that was complemented with a large and varied selection of pastries, cakes, cereals, fruits, meats, cheeses, juices, coffees and water. If this was not enough, pastries, cakes, coffees, water, soda were available during the day and evening. The chateau had a beautiful, heated pool and sitting area. There was a spa that had a hot tub, steam room, and fitness equipment. This was available to quests at no charge. We loved our experience and would recommend the chateau to everyone. When friends have asked us about our vacation, we have said our stay was so exceptional that it become a favorite part of the trip.

AustraliaBreakfast was delicious with a large amount of choice. Facilities: - the pool was large and heated. The jacuzzi was big and the timed slots mean you can have it to yourself with your partner. The room and bathroom were both large and everything is so well thought-out in terms of interior design. The hosts are lovely and very thoughtful - gifting us champagne since we're on our honeymoon.

So much thought has been put into everything for maximum comfort, from the position of the sockets to the shape of the spoons. I truly can't find any fault.

The Chateau de Maraval was stunning. The owners had restored it to an exceptional standard. The decor inside the property was modern and adorned with amazing artwork. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit salad, fresh bread and pastries, cheeses hams and also eggs cooked to order. The pool was secluded behind a stance of trees and was heated with plenty of sunbeds. Drinks were available in the afternoon to take to the pool with a slice of cake. The room was very large with a large, amazing bathroom with free-standing bath, shower and twin basins. It was pure luxury. There was also a gym, steam room and jacuzzi in the basement.

Very nice property. The garden is beautiful, the building has been redone with upscale and luxurious taste. The amenities are comprehensive such as exercice room, steam room, whirlpool and outdoor pool. The room is spacious with a superbly luxurious bathroom. The garden ground with grown and flower trees, is gorgeous. Breakfast, at extra for us, is top notch with viennoiseries, a variety of French and other types of bread, cold cuts, cheese, juice, expresso coffee and fried eggs. The hosts Thierry and Anne-Marie are solicitous, providing great assistance for places to visit and restaurants to choose for dining out. Top cleanliness. Our experience with this place is 5 stars.
