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 reviewI love the setting, the hosts and the French toasts! It's an easy drive to WWII sites and Calais and Dunkirk. It was great that they accepted my little dog too.

Verified reviewWhat can I say, this place was beautiful and peaceful. Jonathan was the most beautiful host and always smiling. From the moment we meet I saw a person that cares for his guests and making them feel welcome. We arrived an hour early my own mistake forgot the time.. The hosts were so was understanding and accommodating Jonathan was so hopeful to still show us around before hand Then we went to one of the supermarkets all very near by just to top up for a couple of days ..We didn't visit the town looks ok but not alot open ( which was like many we drive through ?) The breakfast was amazing and all fresh. The best french toast we have ever had. yummy We stayed two nights before our trip home to the uk . We went to Dunkirk museum and dunes for a day then a spontaneously a trip to burge only an hours drive . We had dinner and shopping. So location was perfect and amazing . The bedrooms are stunning and the grounds. My own Dog settled in well . This Place deserves more stars..xxxx Highly recommend this beautiful place it is so close to calais and a great sleep before moving on for the next journey.
I would say just to have an instruction manual for guests how to work things and a list of dos and do note will help guests and have an understanding. I love a bath and couldn't have one as others had stollen them plug which is sad.for this to happen Look at getting ones then attach. maybe will help. Also maybe some soft pillows for some beds The TV didn't always work and cutting out on us the screen was strange ? and couldn't use the lamp near TV as only one switch ? Overall Your doing a fantastic job and hopefully we will visit again .

Verified reviewSetting is pretty. Animals are cute and friendly. Accommodation is good. Owner is friendly. The town itself is not very nice.
Need to request breakfast 24 hours in advance. No entry (gates locked) before 1700, and the town is not very nice at all, so nowhere to stop for coffee etc. So don’t get there early.
Madam, Sir Thank you for your stay at the castle, I would like to respond to your comments, regarding the arrival time it is well stipulated on the ad on Booking.com that it is from 5 p.m., in addition we had exchanged by message before your arrival and I had told you that it was not possible to arrive before. As for breakfast, you could have told me about it during this discussion that you wanted it. I find it questionable to criticize us when you were informed of the conditions of our establishment and did not anticipate your needs for your stay. Yours sincerely

Verified reviewChâteau le Withof is a lovely hidden place just outside the town of Bourbourg. We booked the 6-person/ 3 bedroom guest house on the grounds and it did not disappoint. The host and family have clearly put a lot of love and attention into renovating the Chateau and we had an incredibly pleasant stay. For dinner the host recommended "Au Cloche" restaurant in the town center (you have to book) which was one of the best meals we have had on our trip, which was only 15-20mins walk away. I have a feeling we will be coming back to stay, if we find ourselves in France again.

Verified reviewBreakfast was stupendous! There were a lot of attention and care in all aspects, food quality and presentation, decoration and overall peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It felt we were in a world apart, where people care about you, they are attentive to you and your needs. Eric and Jo were fabulous hosts discreet and yet super efficient and caring. We loved the pain perdus, they were as good as my grandmother's ones. I have food allergies, they did not dismiss them on the contrary. It was the perfect long weekend, just what we all needed. Thank you!
Having to leave! it was relaxing, calm and we were pampered, it was so hard to leave.

Verified reviewWonderful friendly hosts, loads of space and our own little house with a fully equipped kitchen and best of all, an amazing selection of gorgeous rescue animals to brighten your day! We took advantage of the nearby supermarket and had a lovely meal in and they had thought of everything.
Nothing I can think of!

Verified reviewWe had a truly wonderful visit to Château Withof in Bourbourg! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and elegance of this beautiful place. The château itself is stunning, with its picturesque architecture and beautifully maintained surroundings, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. Our host was incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The breakfast was fresh, beautifully presented, and the perfect way to start the day. From freshly baked pain perdu to quality local ingredients, every bite was a delight. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing getaway or a unique place to stay, Château Withof is an absolute gem. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to return!
