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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing. Perfect break.
There was nothing not to like. From the start communication with Sadie was easy and a collection from the airport was arranged. Upon arrival we were met by Joachim who took us to the property. From the start everything was easy, very well run and overall a pleasure. As we were at the apartment, we had the choice if we wanted breakfast as you have all the ability to prepare food yourself. 2 out of 3 days we had the 45BB breakfast, prepared by Joachim, which was very good value for money and excellent quality. The apartment was comfortable, well equipped and the location of 45BB for Carcassonne is perfect. A walk across the road and your are in the newer town with plenty of food and drink choices. A walk across the bridge and you are in the old town with even more choice for food. Just a small walk from here and you have the entrance to the City. We spent two days by the pool at 45BB and it felt like you had the whole place to yourself. It's extremely quiet and relaxing, as are the surroundings. This is my first time to Carcassonne and 45BB but it won't be the last. I couldn't recommend both enough. The two together, location and accommodation, made for a wonderful break. Thanks very much to Sadie and Joachim for opening their beautiful property to others to enjoy and for being excellent hosts.

The Gite was all we could have asked for. It was private with the use of a lovely pool, which was a godsend on returning after a day out. Location was perfect for us. A short walk to restaurants and the square. About 15 mins to the Medieval city

United KingdomExcellent continental breakfast and very friendly, helpful hosts Joachim and Sadie. The gites at 45BB is clean, modern, quiet and very well equipped. It's location is ideally placed...10 minutes walk to the Place de Carnot and further 10 mins to the Canal du midi and train station. In the other direction it's a 20 mins walk along the beautiful river Aude to the Pont Vieux and La Cité.

United KingdomInstructions in the apartment for using the oven, it took several steps to get it heating whereas most ovens work on dials which are less complex.
Breakfast could have had larger quantities on serving plates especially the ham and the offer of boiled eggs made personally would have been good. The homemade bread would've benefitted from less crust and more interior bread. This may make it slightly more expensive but that would have even OK with us.

Perfect accommodation at 45bb to discover both the newer lower town (5 mins walk) and the higher medieval cite (about 20 mins walk) Presented by fantastic, personable hosts, Sadie & Joachim (not forgetting Juneau 😁), Apartment 45bb is nestled behind an imposing brown door on Boulevard Barbès. As you as you step through the door, you are transported into an oasis of calm and quality. The pool is perfect for the size and number of guests for hot days and the facilities are fantastic. Pool towels freely available for use. The Gite at the back of the property is huge (67sq m) and is filled with quality items to make the stay very pleasurable. A perfect breakfast is also available to start your day. We would highly recommend, and will be happily doing so amongst our family network, and when the time is right, we'll be back for a return visit.

United KingdomIt was perfect
Location was excellent, a quick walk into both the old and new town. The facilities were fantastic and the fixtures and fittings in the gite were of a very high standard. The pool was lovely, as were the owners. It is certainly worth opting for breakfast - lots of choice and again a very high standard. Highly recommended.

Sadie and Joachim are outstanding hosts. They delivered the warmest welcome, helped us to our room (Gite), told us about all the places to go and even picked us up from the airport. We can’t praise them enough for their top class service and support. The room was awesome and very modern with everything a couple could want and more. The room even has a wine chiller. The location is brilliant; just 20 mins walk from the medieval cite. The pool was clean and refreshing and we also rented their well maintained bikes for a ride along the canal. Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThe room we were staying in is in an old house so the wall isolation is what it is, so it heats up very slowly.
Beautiful property with friendly hosts. It is close to the city and medieval city so it works well when visiting Carcassone. There was an option for breakfast and airport lift for a good price.
