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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Everything! The proprietors were charming, the hotel decor tasteful, and the location was on point. You are steps away from a street with a multitude of restaurant options offering outside seating, a grocery store and Laundromat. The hotel can easily be reached from the train station on foot. I wholeheartedly recommend making the Hotel du Cygne your primary location, and opt to easily day trip to the neighboring Chateaux by train. They also welcome dogs.

United Statesno elevator and not 24hr open front door, so call ahead if arriving late. Streets are narrow so passenger dropoff/pickup can be a problem and limited street parking may require use of nearby multistory park.
An old hotel with stairs that creak in a good location next to the old town entertainment strip and easy walking to the river. Staff is helpful and volunteers to carry luggage to room in lieu of actual elevator. Had a generous morning breakfast that set us up nicely for the day.

Right in the centre historique, lots of great eating and drinking options nearby, and the beautiful gardens of the musée des beaux arts. The room was spacious with a window overlooking the street. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small but functional and very clean. Perfect for an overnight stay in the lovely town of Tours.

BelgiumSteep staircase, no staff after 8pm (this is not an issue, you get a pin code to enter the hotel, but it makes the experience quite impersonal).

United KingdomNothing ! Even climbing the stairs ! Travelling solo female I would have preferred a little honesty bar or limited apéro offering. You can bring in any purchases. (There are plenty of cafes and bars within yards) but after a day travelling a glass of local wine in the lovely courtyard would have been better.
Warm welcoming hosts, excellent renovation of super old building - they are clearly proud of their work and the (small) set up. Lovely vintage crockery at breakfast , and super quality items - Mariage frères teas, and Angel cake ! And - don’t worry about the stairs - hosts carry your luggage and the water pressure in the shower was great !!

NetherlandsThere is no elevator going up to the upper floors.
Nice location and helpful staff. Close to Colbert Street (Rue Colbert) where you have many diverse and good restaurants (Indian, Lebanese, French, Turkish), and a Carrefour express nearby. In between Tours cathedral and Rue Nationale where you can take the tram and go shopping if needed (Hema, FNAC, Zara, C&A). Honoré Le Boulanger is a must-go for croissants and pains aux chocolat.
