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.).

ItalyThe first floor apartment has internal stairs and is not recommended if you have small children.
Nice apartment in the center of Amboise, with parking. All the spaces are clean and welcoming, the city center is just a few steps away. Carolina is a kind and caring host (for example, you have the dishwasher and the tablets too). You have a nice garden, with a table and a umbrella, deckchairs and a ping pong table to share.

The garden outside was quiet and peaceful and a few steps out the gate and we were walking through the quaint streets of town. The host was very kind, helpful and generous, and gave us all the privacy we hoped for.

Perfect location in the centre of Amboise but still peaceful. Bright and airy apartment with lovely outside space with table tennis table. Short walk to the shops & restaurants. Clos Lucé, Chateau Gaillard and Chateau Royal Amboise all within walking distance. Short drive to Tours and other chateaus.

United StatesCaroline is a great host. We also met her husband. Great gentleman! Caroline was very helpful and provided lots of useful info on where to go and to eat and make reservations (a must), etc. Our initial drive to Amboise kept getting delayed due to traffic and stops. But we were able to communicate with Caroline easily via Booking app and she was very accommodating with our multiple revised arrival time. Location is great. Car is parked behind locked gate. Spacious apartment, which apparently was newly renovated. You can tell lots of thoughts and care were put into remodeling the apartment. Kitchen counter (wood) is very new that it makes me worried about using it and leaving water stains on it :) There is a laundry facility (only washer), drys on the rack. Apparently this is very common in Europe. Also, I was amazed there are two huge hot water tanks. Caroline joked that some girls will take long showers and wash hair, etc so they want to make sure there are plenty of hot water! Anyway, we really enjoyed our stay and highly recommends it. I am almost worried that if this place gets too popular I won't be able to make a reservation next time we come back to visit Amboise :)

United KingdomWe liked everything. The only little drawback for us was that the chairs round the garden table were quite uncomfortable and sore on our backs so we weren’t tempted to sit outside, but it’s really a minor thing.
A lovely little apartment with parking. Clean and very tastefully decorated. Close to everything,shops, town centre etc.. but very quiet. Owners were very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our break there.

Caroline was an extremely charming and helpful host! The apartment was comfortable and tastefully decorated, with many little extras. The shower was amazing, and the kitchen was very well appointed. It was a great location to use as a home base to visit the Chateaux of the area and very walkable to sites in town. Loved having a parking spot within the gated complex. And having a nice outdoor sitting area was a plus!

AustraliaA lovely 2 bedroom cottage / apartment, well equipped and in a beautiful garden setting. Good kitchenette / dining space, and access to a shared washing machine and drying racks were all bonuses (plus tv was equipped with Netflix so we could have a night dining in and chilling out after lots of sightseeing). Close to everything in Amboise. The main house occupied by our lovely host Caroline was just opposite and she was available if we needed her but otherwise gave us total privacy - we used many of her excellent recommendations for places to eat, shop and visit and we will carry with us a happy memory of her smiling face greeting us on arrival and farewelling us when we left 5 days later. We would love to stay here again and recommend Les Charmilles to all.

The host is lovely and provides an excellent introduction to the apartment, showing you where everything is and how to use the appliances, etc. Also provides great recommendations on the restaurants and sights in town as well as in the Loire Valley region. I would highly recommend you book this aparrment if it is available, you won't regret it.

United StatesThere was parking easily available next to the rental but we had a bigger rental car and so did the other guests staying at the same time, which made it tighter than we might have liked.
Love the location! Everything was clean and safe and great restaurants are right around the corner. Bathroom was very nice and large (especially for France). We appreciated the bottle of champagne!
