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 KingdomIt was a bit cold at times in our bedroom even with the heating on and we had a handheld shower, which was ok but would have preferred it to be attached to the wall. Had to pay cash (or cheque) as property doesn’t have credit card or online banking facilities.
The property is exquisitely furnished and has interesting artefacts in every room. Exceptional hospitality from the host who made us feel like royalty, he couldn’t have been more attentive to ensure our stay was memorable. Breakfast was fulsome and tasty, served each day on different and beautiful crockery, with a variety of homemade dishes. The bedroom and en suite bathroom were huge and very comfortable; again, tastefully designed and furnished. Ideally situated close to the centre of the town and historical buildings, we highly recommend this property.

Jean-luc, the host, was extremely hospitable and made us feel very welcome. He also went above and beyond to help us book taxis for a wedding and shared recommendations of what to do in Loche. we would love to visit again!

IrelandI liked everything about my stay here
My recent 3-night stay at La Closerie Saint Jacques was an experience beyond compare. This charming establishment, with its impeccable service and exceptional host Jerome, left an indelible mark on my journey. From the moment we arrived, Jerome's warm hospitality enveloped us. His genuine dedication to making us feel welcome was evident in every detail, and even his adorable dog added a delightful touch to the atmosphere. Breakfast was a true culinary delight. Jerome's personal touch was evident as he prepared everything himself, from the delectable cakes to the creamy yogurt. The coffee, deserving of a 5-star rating, perfectly complemented the morning spread. Our room was a regal haven fit for royalty. The decor exuded an air of old-world elegance and sophistication, reminiscent of aristocratic opulence. The level of service was second to none. Our room was consistently impeccable, with fresh water and meticulous cleanliness always maintained. Jerome, your efforts truly made us feel at home outside of home. Your unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction and the exceptional experience you curated for us made our stay unforgettable. La Closerie Saint Jacques is a gem, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have experienced such a remarkable stay. Thank you, Jerome, for creating a haven of comfort and luxury that will remain etched in my memory.

The decor is unique and quite remarkable. Amazing breakfasts with a lot of home cooked dishes. We would definitely stay here again.

United KingdomNothing - it was all perfect.
We loved everything about La Closerie St-Jacques! Our suite was decorated beautifully - a wonderfully tasteful mix of old and new, with a large and cosy bed, a separate dressing area, and a modern shower room. Jean-Luc and Jérôme are superb hosts - warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful (even going so far as to book restaurants in advance and a taxi for a wedding we were attending). The breakfasts were a real treat - freshly served and different each morning (including fruit, homemade yoghurts and tarts, honey, jam, crepes…). Every last detail had been thought about, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention has been put into the decoration and service. An exceptional stay all round.

United KingdomSuch a beautiful property and an ideal location right in the centre of Loches but also very quiet - we sat in the garden in the sunshine enjoying some wine and you could have been in the middle of the countryside it was so peaceful. Jean Luc was so helpful in recommendations and even phoned a couple bicycle rental places for us. The breakfast was superb, all homemade with some real treats! Highly recommend this delightful historic Bed & Breakfast.

United KingdomThe decor was overpowering and was a complication that I would describe as a triumph of style over practicality. The hand basin had a mirror over, where my wife could use a hair-dryer, which was so inefficiently lit to be almost impossible to use, 'precious' vases had to be moved out of the way to avoid damage. I hope not to offend a charming host by describing his chambre d'hote as cluttered.
Breakfast was excellent and in a comfortable location. Our host was kind attentive and charming.
