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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesLoved everything!
Elegant chateau with an amazing room, a view of the vineyards, and walking distance to the center of Sauternes. The staff was very helpful, secured reservations for us, provided a personalized breakfast, and ensured that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The perfect wine region experience with an adjacent winery for touring and tasting. It was a find!

MonacoPoor breakfast. Literally almost nothing to choose from, no eggs even. Very good croissants though, woke up every morning with that smell.
Beautiful property, surrounded by vineyards and history! I loved the decorations, the view from the room, the visit to the caves, the personnel very friendly and helpful. They recommended one resto in town, amazing experience!

NetherlandsOur best regards to the employee, who organized the snacks to the wine in the backyard. Very nice place. Sauternes just near by. Plenty of options to taste the wines. I would just recommend to consider the alternatives to offer you guests to try/purchase or have tasting of your wines in hotel after 6PM. Not only in the shop/tasting zone near your hotel. We had only 1 night at your hotel, we had to put extra effort to have this setup. but at the end we were very happy.

United StatesOur main stickler is always the safety of the shower. In this case the floor was slippery and there was no safety rail. Other than it was a fabulous experience.
What a fabulous chateau. The views of the vineyards were historic. The wines were not to our liking but were very good. As they only had 350,000 bottles in their cellars we suppose they won't run out any time soon. The property was close to a small village that had a fabulous restaurant. A very short drive.

IrelandThere's no restaurant at the chateau, so you need to plan your lunches and dinners. Not exactly a big inconvenience, there's lots of places a short drive away, and what you get in return is a lot of peace and quiet.
A beautiful and serene chateau right in the middle of the vineyards. This may not be THAT unique for Bordeaux, but in Chateau D'Arche there's this feeling of an almost private visit. It's a small property with only 8 (huge) rooms and very personal and attentive service.
