How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe gites are immaculate, well thought out and with all of the facilities required. The surrounding countryside and lake are beautiful with only the sounds of nature to break the tranquility.
There was nothing that required changing.

Verified reviewPretty location, well appointed, lots of butterflies and lizards in the garden
We were in Gite 3 which was lovely and open plan but had a long thin layout, our personal preference is for something a bit squarer as that feels bigger even if it’s not! It would have been lovely to have large windows that came down lower so you could see the garden when sat down relaxing or when eating at the table.

Verified reviewA personal warm welcome by the hosts. The location of the property was great, quiet and peaceful, you were only a 10 minute walk to the lake, which had lovely scenic views, and could be walked around in a couple of hours, and only a 10 minute drive to the old Carcassonne city. Main shops and supermarkets are also close by. The Gite was spotlessly clean, and had everything required. The pool area was exceptional, clean and pool was a good size. All in all an we had a great week at this property and would definitely recommend.
There was nothing we didn't like about this property

Verified reviewLovely modern building in a quiet location near a lake. Well presented accommodation, good quality fixtures and fittings. Hosts were friendly and helpful. We had access to the shared, covered pool and patio area which again was clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed our week at the gite. Close to Carcassonne and Narbonne- so plenty to see and do - in addition to all the waterspouts on offer at the lake. A real gem of a place!
Nothing to say here. - everything was good.

Verified reviewAccommodation and the location nearby Carcassone and the Cavayere lake were great! The hosts were kind and very responsive. The kids very much liked the heated pool, the sweet retriever dog of the owners who played with our dog, and we all liked the terrace, clean flat, nice Occitane products and the possibility to use the electric grill. Overall, we much enjoyed our stay.
We would have appreciated to have a bit more space in the common area (living room/dining space is rather small with only one window-terrace door) and a dishwasher, cutting board and a tea pot would have be useful to have, but the rest of the equipment was very good. It was a bit strange to be asked to remove the sheets before our departure, but it was not a big deal in the end.
