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 StatesI wish I could have expected to rent a car beforehand to take my mother to the nearby places she wished to see, so that I could have saved myself that headache and time that I could have used for myself for de-stressing in the sauna or swimming in the pool as I had hoped for.
Everyone was genuinely caring and helpful. They saved us with instant taxi assistance more than twice.

The hotel manager, Gregoure, made the stay very easy and pleasant! He was extremely helpful with recommendations, he was pleasant and smart. He recommended the restaurant at the location and put us on the waitlist, and luckily we were able to get in . He notified the chef of my gluten intolerance and nut allergy and the restaurant was able to accommodate. The grounds are beautiful with a very nice heated pool (I did not use) in addition they have a sauna which you can reserve. Also in a town where limited parking is available they have a wonderful parking lot on property which is monitored by the front desk.

United KingdomThe attic rooms were a little small and quaint - even at 5'7" I bumped my head a few times. Taller guests may struggle. the room was lovely though and we so enjoyed our stay.
The setting, hotel, facilities and staff are delightful. Staff are so helpful and make you feel you are staying at a very nice house as a guest rather than a hotel. The food in the restaurant is also delicious and good value for money for a fine dining experience. We would definitely come back.

AustraliaThere was nothing I could complain about. The car parking is tight so a smaller car will make parking easier.
The location was excellent and staff were helpful, professional and courteous. Our room was spacious and well appointed and we were so grateful for the a/c. The outdoor facilities including the pool were beautiful and our dinner at the hotel restaurant was so good, we had to go back a second time!

United KingdomGetting into the car park isnt easy if you have a large car.
Breakfast was very good which appears to be the norm for France. We had a set dinner in the hotel which was a taster menu. The meal was very good and you get dishes you wouldnt usually choose. Great location and Amboise is very nice

United StatesThe grounds were out of a fairytale with beautiful landscaping. We loved sitting in the courtyard with a glass of wine in the evenings. The rooms were pristine and beautifully decorated. The location was convenient. As a bonus, there was parking to allow us to easily access our car for sightseeing throughout the region. The restaurant was delicious -the best meal in France. Thank you to the always helpful staff to make our stay special!

GermanyI wish they had told us when we booked to make dinner reservations at that time at the restaurant in the hotel. This is important as most restaurants are closed in town on Sunday and Monday. We wait listed there and did get in on Monday night.
Beautiful facility with lovely staff. Great location making it easy to walk to sites nearby. Very comfortable beds. Great breakfast and staff in restaurant and bar.

United StatesThe property should be clearer about where rooms are located and what access limitations, if any, they have. The main building has an elevator--at least one of the two other buildings does not. A steep, winding staircase is not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. In addition, the hotel should be clearer about where its units are. For example, rooms in the main building or the building facing the gardens are much more desirably located than those in the former stable (a fact I'm not sure is represented in the price). The only other negative is that the turn off the street into the parking area is quite tight.
This small hotel is beautifully maintained, with an excellent on-site restaurant, grounds, and heated pool. Rooms are spread over three buildings--the main three story building, one two story building facing the gardens, and one two story building with three units (a former stable from appearances). Our Superior Family Room was located in the last building and was quite comfortable, large, and well-equipped. It did, however, require walking up a steep, winding staircase with no elevator available. The breakfast was excellent. The location is within 5-10 minutes of several excellent restaurants, the chateau, and Leonardo da Vinci's home.
