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.).

CanadaAlthough it was full of character it would benefit from some basic maintenance around the property. We stayed in Les Barrats, the shower door was broken. Railings on the stairs to the chalet need fixing. Having a hot tub for each chalet is a lovely idea but if it’s not hot when you arrive, unless you’re planning on staying up all night to heat it it’s pretty impractical. An extra 20 euro fee for the hot tub. 20 euros is a lot for a very basic limited breakfast…..no muesli to go with a yoghurt…. The gardener was weed whacking for about two hours during an otherwise peaceful evening. This perhaps could be done during the day when guests are out…..
Very (!) characterful ‘quirky’ hotel in a haven of peace out of the bustle of Chamonix.

United Kingdommore on the go food - as the location is further out from the main city/any shops it would be good to have a ‘nibbles’ menu offering chips/pizzas and just some easy on the go food. However appreciate that may not be possible
The staff/and or owners were SO lovely and accommodating.

United KingdomA small thing but the hottub outside the apartment below us came on frequently during the night.. on a cleaning cycle presumably... we had the windows open to enjoy the mountain air and forest sounds and the noise did disturb us, maybe the cycle could be turned off until the daytime? We loved the place despite this however....
Amazing place, traditional style, quirky hamlet of beautiful alpine buildings... super cute room with everything you could need, small but so cosy. Made you feel like Heidi with traditional mountain style, thick duvet and beautiful views. Absolutely loved having a little sauna next to the room and our own small, cute hottub. We were lucky to get a last minute, great deal on the room price but we live in the area and now we know of it we will definitely go again. The restaurant was closed the night we were there but would love to try it.

United KingdomEverything is rustic and beautiful at Chalets de Philippe! We went there as a family and it was a lovely weekend away from the crowds of Chamonix, but close enough to have the amazing view of it (it's a 10 min drive). The room we stayed was cosy and nice, and with amazing views. The access was via the restaurant which to me, it felt lovely because we had access to the nice living room of the place as well. The jacuzzi was on, very nice as well! Breakfast fresh and nice! I would 100% go back! The gentleman at the reception was always accommodating and with a smile!

PortugalIs not very functional sometimes, and the bed is a bit short (I was warned about this and wasn’t a problem). Also you need a car to get to the property (also, not a problem for me).
Is a very original place, with some unique rooms and furniture: check the photos! The owner is very nice 😊 Location wise is a close drive of Chamonix center.

GermanyThe rooms are quite small but this adds to the coziness of the place.
It is a fairy tale accommodation (including a prince-like host). Seriously, this is one of the most beautiful, romantic, cozy and picturesque accommodation in the French Alps. The view to the Mont Blanc from the atmospheric wooden rooms are marvelous. We arrived late and Philippe welcomed us so warmly, treated us to French cheese and a glass of red wine. The breakfast the next morning was quite luxurious - in particular with the wonderful views on Mont Blanc...

United KingdomWhen we arrived at the reception, the gentleman there sent us with a young lady to check us in. Instead of the spacious two-story cabin with a fireplace that we had booked, she showed us to a very small and disappointing cabin. My husband is 2 meters tall, and his legs were hanging off the bed by about 20 centimeters. The place was nothing like the property we had reserved. When I went back to the reception to raise this issue, the gentleman was extremely rude and dismissive. He told me that another couple wanted to extend their stay in the cabin we had booked (1st picture) , and since they paid for it, the management gave them our property and placed us in this smaller one instead. He insisted it was “the same price,” as if that justified the downgrade. This is completely unacceptable, as customers should receive exactly what they have booked. On top of this, the cabin we were given was dirty, full of cobwebs and dust, and very uncomfortable. It felt neglected and not properly cleaned. For the price we paid, this was a huge disappointment. I am extremely dissatisfied with my stay and would never recommend this property to anyone. Chamonix has plenty of other hotels and chalets that, for the same price, offer far better service, cleanliness, comfort, and even spa facilities. This place is severely overpriced for what it provides, and people should not be misled into booking it.
I liked the location

United StatesThe room was not. The bathroom was not attached, the entry was only a curtain and not a door, we were in the back of the restaurant and had to walk through the kitchen to get to our room. The jacuzzi was on the terrace in the middle of the restaurant. The staff was very rude about it when we explained the discrepancy to the booking description and insisted that “private” meant nobody else could use it not that nobody else could see it. We asked for a different room that was more like the photos, they said it was not possible even though we paid full price for a “real room”. The owner asked us to remove our bad review we asked for a price adjustment from booking and they said no. They also would not let us sit for dinner because the restaurant was fully booked, so we had to walk past the diners to get into our room but could not join. Really disappointed and ruined our vacation. What made it worse is the staff kept harassing us the whole time to take down our review. Such bad service.
We were very excited to book here for our wedding anniversary. The room we booked was a king delux with private jacuzzi. The pictures were beautiful.
