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.).

United StatesOnly restaurant open was Rotisserie which was a disappointment - food choices were awful and wait staff were less than cordial. Terrace Grill next to pool only served drinks. No other food options nearby.
Grounds and facilities were nice. Room was authentic but bathroom was tiny and inconvenient. Most of hotel staff was lovely and helpful. Breakfast by the pool was nice with typical choices - though expensive.

United KingdomI felt as though I was staying in a wedding venue that hadn't quite finished tidying up after the previous wedding and was getting ready for the next wedding. The hotel felt like a side business. The grounds felt untidy with piles of broken chairs and abandoned bits of furniture, two rotting caravans, a tatty chicken coop and half dead plants in pots. There was a strange mismatch between the very old chateau and modern additions like the large statue of a knight/king and several unused gazebos. The approach to the chateau is very impressive but the first thing you're greeted by when entering through the arch is a huge cage housing a large collection of cats that roam the premises. The poolside bar was a strange collection of structures, abandoned piles of furniture and large round events tables that would ordinarily be covered in white linen for a wedding. The Rotisserie restaurant was described as having outdoor dining, but it was actually a large plastic marquee against the side of the old building with astroturf under foot. It was a very strange atmosphere. Again, it felt like they were trying to find an additional use for one of the wedding venues. Our bedroom was in the main chateau and was a great size, with great views. However, it looked like it was last decorated in 1990. Overall, there was a feeling of arriving a day early to an event before the staff had started setting up. The grounds need a lot of investment and bedrooms need redecorating. Hotel guests need to be made to feel like they're staying at an expensive hotel, rather than a disused wedding venue with cats.
The building is very impressive and staff very friendly. Reception were very friendly and helpful. The pool was great. The breakfast was one of the best I've had in a hotel. We ate dinner in the Rotisserie and the food was nice and staff great.

ItalyNot recommendable at all. Reservation made over one month in advance for a "large comfortable king bedroom". We were given, instead, the infamous room 3 (infamous based on the reviews, which we read afterwards - which is bad on us), whose filthy conditions, small size, badly aged wallpaper and pieces of furniture (from the 80s, if we're lucky) are manifest in the pictures. On that day, for the same price we paid the hotel was offering a large and newly renovated room for 6 (!) - and yet, they gave us this tiny room (but the hotel was far from full). In addition, upon arrival, the receptionist weirdly insisted we book over 200+ EUR of extras (gourmet dinner and breakfast), attitude that made me balk. Pool water quality simply unsanitary, with uncivilized parents bathing kids in their diapers and no one saying anything. Dirty pool towels and even dirtier sunbeds. Gourmet/Michelin dinner was fine (but of course the hotel reception forgot to make the reservation for us, so we were subject to the whole "oh la la" scene by the waitress), but that is the only bright side of this stay, aside of course the views, which are indeed beautiful.
Views of and from the castle. The rest has been a disaster.

United Kingdom- The people were rude from the very beginning and saying things under their breath in French when we didn’t want dinner that evening I found very rude and off putting, not what we would have expected from a welcoming reception. - The mattress had large divots in like it hasn’t been replaced in well over 8 years! - The bathroom wasn’t clean. - It states the pool is open from 8AM - 7PM yet it wasn’t full at 9AM when we came down for the second time for a morning swim. - There was a dead bird by the pool which I wouldn’t have expected but understand could be unavoidable but it wasn’t cleared after several Staff walked passed it. I wouldn’t stay here for longer than a night if I had booked for longer!
It’s beautiful grounds, but nothing else.

United KingdomWe stayed for one night in early March and the hotel reception, bar and main restaurant were not open. There was no space at the smaller “rotisserie” restaurant for dinner so we had to drive into the village to eat. The only opportunity for a drink was standing up at the bar in the Rotisserie.
This bastide has a hotel plus self catering villas, wedding and conference venue and a spa. The property and the grounds were attractive and we liked the “whispering angels” statues illuminated at night. Our room - one of the larger ones - had a very comfortable bed and nice bathroom with a good shower. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
