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 KingdomHenry and the team were very welcoming and provide a wonderful personal service. The room was comfortable and cosy and I had a fabulous breakfast each morning - served without delay so that I could shoot off to work. I also enjoyed a wonderful dinner where again we were looked after really well by the team.

We stayed the night as my daughter had a celebrant wedding service with 24 guests and meal after. It was the first time Le Bouchon had offered this service and the whole day was perfect. The staff from the day of booking and on the day were all excellent, thank you to Claire, James and Henry for making a special day even more special. Thanks also to the chefs who prepared a superb three course meal which was first class.

What a gem! Brilliant reception and restaurant staff. Excellent breakfast. If we find ourselves in this part of the country again, a stay at this boutique hotel will be a definite.

United KingdomWe don't have any specific negatives. The only unfortunate aspect, which obviously cannot be helped given the building structure, was that the window was very small, but we had the fans so it was fine!
I would like to send out a personal thank you to Claire who helped us with everything from check-in to check-out. We arrived quite early but she showed us around the hotel and looked after our luggage, and even took it up to our room for us whilst we were out. The room was of a good size and the decor was pretty. There were 2 electric fans which was much appreciated given the hot weather. We had a lovely stay! Would definitely stay there again next time we are in Maldon.

Which was great to hear before i even paid for our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and the staff were very friendly. And helpful...i lost my ankle bracelet in the room somewhere and within the hour of leaving they found my bracelet and send they would kindly send it to me in the post. Me and my husband have said we would love to come again but have a meal as well.

United KingdomI had stayed at Le Bouchon Brasserie & Hotel as a female travelling alone for a friends wedding for 1 night and couldn't have had a better experience. The hotel was perfect, ideal location, clean and boutique style rooms, free parking, and the breakfast was great and had alot of options! Worth every penny. What made it for me was the staff. From the night porter, to the receptionist and manager, everyone was incredibly kind to me and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you to all staff there! If I were to visit Essex again I would make sure to stay here.

United KingdomI stayed Tuesday and Wednesday, unfortunately the restaurant didn't open on Tuesdays and the bar closed at 9pm, however they did tell me the night person would have got a drink if I needed one later but not the same as sitting somewhere pleasant reading my book with a glass of wine. Its not a complaint really just it would have been nice......
I didn't have breakfast. Probably my own fault but as the hotel backed on to the river I assumed somewhere outside would have river access to sit which it didn't. It did have seating at the front, but view was of industrial buildings. The staff were excellent, very helpful and my room although a little small was very comfortable and clean.

Lovely suite, excellent service with staff eager to please. Breakfasts were great, and evening dinners likewise.

United KingdomWe had a deluxe room that had tea and coffee facilities on the dresser where the plugs were. The mirror was on another chest of drawers with no plugs. This meant I had to swop everything around for my partner to do her hair etc, not well thought out at all. Then swop it back to make tea and then swop it back for her again to get ready in the morning. Just not very “Deluxe”
Really Great staff. Lovely food and atmosphere. Clean and tidy.
