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.).

United KingdomYou must be joking - there was absolutely nothing to dislike!
This is a fabulous Chambre d’hôte right alongside the River Thouet and 50m from the Velo Francette long distance cycle route between La Rochelle and Caen. Arriving on laden touring bicycles with a snapped rear wheel spoke on one of the bikes our lovely lady host was soon on the phone to a bike shop and arranged for a repair to be done. She then drove me the 5km to the bike shop and waited while the spoke was replaced and the wheel trued. In the evening we watched European Championship football on the big TV in the living room with our lovely lady host's husband. Breakfast was a great spread and we drank our coffee overlooking the River. We faffed about getting the repaired wheel back in the bike and our lovely lady host made us more coffee while we were about it. Stay at the Moulin de L'Abbesse when visiting Thouars - you'll meet a lovely lady host.

United KingdomThere was nothing I didn't like, we had a wonderful stay.
We were made to feel very welcome with a drink and cake on the terrace above the river. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The spacious bathroom had a good shower and separate toilet and was very clean. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with a range of local and homemade produce. Our hosts were friendly and helpful and we were given useful, local information. It was lovely to sit on the terrace by the river and had our breakfast there on a lovely warm morning. It was a short walk up the hill to the town where we visited the local market and ate at a restaurant in the square. We had a lovely stay and would happily stay there again.

FranceNothing. The location even in February was great.
This accommodation merits its high ratings. From the welcome to the goodbye the service was exceptional. The owner went out of her way to accommodate a dietary requirement. We didn't ask in advance as felt it was too complicated however when mentioning the night before the owner went and purchased something specifically for us. Thank you. Book with confidence you won't be disappointed.

United KingdomOur host could not have been more helpful. We were cycling and due to very hot weather, wanted to leave at 6am. Our host insisted on getting up early to prepare our breakfast and a pack lunch. So friendly and generous. The property backs onto the river with a lovely terrace to site an watch the river. Just a short walk to the historic town. Highly recommended

United KingdomNothing - everything was perfect!
This was perfect accommodation for an overnight stay in Thours on our La Velo Francette Cycle route. Our Host was welcoming and helpful on our arrival and throughout our stay - in spite of a local problem with the water supply - totally beyond our Hosts control! Our accommodation was spacious, and spotlessly clean with lovely views of the watermill and the river from the bedroom window. There was a delightful outside seating area overlooking the water, it was a very tranquil setting. Breakfast was served on the terrace or in the dining room overlooking the river and was plentiful, good quality and well presented. The accommodation is within 10minutes walking distance of Thours centre where we enjoyed a good evening meal in the town square. We wish we could have stayed longer!
