How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Verified reviewThe gite is fabulous, super clean with comfortable beds, and everything we needed as a family. Peaceful location with lots to visit - La Rochelle, Ile d'Oleron and Ile de Re all about 40 mins by car, and loads to do more locally - Rochefort, Brouage, beach and nature reserve all 15 mins by car. The pool area at the gite was lovely too. Delicious bakery and a market (Fridays), plus supermarket all 5 mins away in Soubise. Our hosts were really kind and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed. Fabulous!

Verified reviewReally nice owners, beautiful place. The pool/jacuzzi is gorgeous, heated and really well maintained. The price for our 3-night stay was amazing for such a beautiful place. Easy access to main roads, grocery store not far by car. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed to make easy evening meals and breakfast. The outdoor patio and table look great, but we couldn't use it. There are about 20 stairs between the parking area and the top bedroom but they are easy to climb (evenly spaced, wide enough, good banister).
There were so many mosquitoes! We don't know if that's because of the time of year (first half of a very warm October) or the fact that there is a pond by the parking area. But we got lots of bites despite efforts to spray bug repellent and use citronella. There is no air conditioning and no bug screens on the windows. So at night, you're either hot or eaten alive. The beds were of good quality but too hard for my taste. The inside sliding doors are beautiful but you really hear them at night.

Verified reviewWe stayed at Gîtes de St Hilaire for few days and it was absolutely perfect. The family apartment was excellent and very well equipped, very clean and tidy (the owner takes clearly a very good care of the place). Plenty of space to store clothing. We were impressed by the amazing surroundings and lots of beautiful flowers. The kids absolutely loved the pool and the playground for sports. We found owners very kind, friendly and helpful. We spent happy relaxing holiday there.
