Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomIt would be great to have a kettle with tea & coffee making facilities in the room. Also a bottle of water.
Perfect location right by the main entrance to the chateau. Lots of restaurants very close by. We ate at Auberge Radieuse which is essentially pizzas but all original toppings and unusual. Recommend. The hotel is a gem - we were in the old Girls Schoolhouse at the rear of the property with a courtyard in front. The room was very clean with a generous bathroom with walk in shower. We were able to book the private garage which is a 3 minute walk around the corner. You need to collect the door opening card from the hotel first. We were able to pull in alongside the post office rather than drop the bollard which blocks entry to the road. The young man on reception is absolutely charming, very helpful and speaks perfect English.

United KingdomIt was all very good.
A gem of a hotel in a lovely town. The hotel is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Thomas was super helpful with everything from parking to recommendations on where to eat and making a reservation for us. There aren’t any tea / coffee making facilities in the room or public areas but so many places on the doorstep this wasn’t a problem - but useful to know. We had 2 rooms and our boys’ room had a private terrace which was lovely for breakfast and sitting in the evening. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this hotel and to Azay-le-Rideau with its lovely chateau, wish we’d stayed another night or two to properly explore.

CanadaHotel should offer more rooms with two single beds. When I booked it. It was offered to my family member. At the end, the request was not met.
Super good service. If I visit this location, this hotel shall be on my list. The front desk helped us to direct our vehicle to park in the hotel’s secured parking. The front desk informed us to pick up items after we left. Lobby is spacious for meeting friends & families.

United Arab EmiratesI would have appreciated a bit more variety at breakfast, but overall, it was a truly delightful stay.
What a special and charming place! Hôtel de Biencourt is perfectly located just steps away from the stunning Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, with plenty of excellent restaurants and lovely shops just a stone’s throw away. The hotel itself is full of character and warmth, offering both comfort and charm in equal measure. The receptionist and owner were very welcoming and accommodating—they truly went out of their way to make us feel at home and clearly enjoyed playing and interacting with my little girls. We would love to return!

AustraliaAll the hotels we stayed in France offer a kettle and the opportunity to make a beverage in the room. Hotel de Biencourt, did not offer such a service, in fact nothing. I understand there is plenty of choice in the village, but sometimes after a long drive it is a relief to be able to make a cup of tea. The only meal the hotel offers is breakfast, and guests are compelled to book for breakfast. The first day we bought some quiche from one of the patisseries, it was beautifully boxed, and our idea was to sit at one of the tables in the courtyard and eat lunch. As we walked past reception, the manager abruptly told us off, and said outside food was prohibited. This was an expensive hotel and I felt like a pariah. We ended up feeling deflated and consumed our lunch in the park.
The hotel is well located close to the main attraction Chateau Azay-Le-Rideau. The village is stunning with many restaurants, some are Michelin star. Parking is free in a few carparks in the village. On arrival guests are requested to park in a 5 minute drop off luggage zone due the fact the village is one way in some of it. The Hotel is an a converted school with a central courtyard. The room is well appointed, with a very good bathroom with a walk in shower.
