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 KingdomVery noisy at night. People partying until 4 the next day. No air conditioning so had to have windows open. Had a leak in the toilet and couldn’t shut the door properly either. Managed to stop the leak, overflowing cistern, but it did make a mess, couldn’t report it as it was about 3am and no one around when went downstairs.
Right in the heart of La Rochelle. Rooms were above a cafe/restaurant. Overlooking the harbour and the square. Very pretty. Parking was in a public underground car park but it was quite inexpensive to stay all day and night.

IrelandRoom very dated and needing repairs - shower leaked out onto floor when in use. No air conditioning and with location, got very noisy when leaving windows open some night to try cool room. Place could benefit from some repairs/modernisation as paint and wallpaper damaged/peeling in room and stairwell.
Great location, close to aquarium and other attractions. Good price.

United KingdomParking was awkward, we had to use an underground multi-storey. The next day we struggled to find a way in and it took us awhile to get our car back.
Amazing double doors and little balcony, overlooking the harbour and sea fort. La Rochelle is the city that never sleeps, and the most vibrant place in France that we’ve visited. The rest was usual budget standard. Bed was comfortable, staff friendly and kind. Children’s play park right opposite, by the harbour.

Good location. Nice view from the room. As it is located by the main harbour, it is nosey especially in the night. (lots of restaurants and bars below), but there were double windows which did well to block the noise.

IrelandRooms are older and a bit dated so not the most luxurious. However, for the price of the stay and perfect location this is not a major issue at all. Rooms are warm in the summer too with no AC so you need to leave the door open, which can be noisy at night outside. But when the doors are closed, the soundproofing is really good!
Perfect central location right on the harbour, close to plenty shops, cafés and restaurants. Room is older and a bit dated, but also some of the rooms have balcony views of the harbour which is definitely worth it.

United KingdomThe noise levels in the street outside meant we were very sleep deprived! Did not mind the buzz of the local restaurants and live music the problem was groups of teens/young adults who played their music (amplified) and were yelling until about 4am - this happened each night we were there. No sign of police or anyone else trying to enforce peace and quiet. Such a shame - perhaps we were unlucky with our timings but we had to keep the window open as it was so hot. The room and bathroom was cramped with minimal storage - no where to hang damp towels or anything. A few rails and hooks would be useful.
Great location on the harbour and about a 10 minute flat walk from the train station. Nice restaurant and bar on a corner location. Very easy to walk everywhere. Two double beds was great (most twin beds were like planks in other French hotels) but they did fill the room! We had nice meals in the restaurant but there is a great choice in the immediate neighbourhood.
