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 KingdomEverything was great. Only negative is the stairs in the cottage could be a bit hard to get up if you were not good on your feet.
What a gem! We booked for 2 night and booked for a 3rd night when we saw how nice it was. It was a little cottage with a garden for our dog. A much needed rest for us all. Comfy bed. Well equiped kitchen & nice bathroom. The pool is a relief in the heat.

CroatiaI loved staying at Montboulard! I stopped over just for the night on my drive to Germany and wow, what a pleasant surprise! The premises are beautiful!!! The room was very nice, spacious, clean and comfortable, i slept like a baby! The hotel manager is super nice and everyone else was very friendly! This is one of the few times at Booking that everything was better than expected! I would love to stay here again.

United KingdomLoved it so much last year we came back again this year! Great place with fantastic amenities. Just how we remembered it. The pool was very much needed and welcomed during the hot spell and even though there were plenty of people using it it didn’t feel cramped.

SpainA fabulously restored farm stay with extensive grounds and outdoor pool. Quiet semi-rural location yet just a few minutes drive from a hypermarket and restaurants. We stayed in cottage No.9 which was much larger than we expected and very comfortable. There are some nice walking trails directly from the the bottom of the gardens which were perfect for walking our dog.

United KingdomA few niggles - the quality of the internet connection was hit and miss; it would have been great if the fridge and freezer opened towards the kitchen and not the wall; and some of the pans needed replacing.
The two bedroom 'townhouse' we stayed in was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. Besides our own private garden, the domaine has great facilities - pool, table tennis etc. and access to the adjacent woods. Road noise is low and only obvious at certain places outside. We mostly used our bikes while staying and found it convenient that the commercial centre was at the end of the access road and that we could easily get to Angouleme and the surrounding area (Touvre valley).

GermanyIs there anything we didn't like? No.
The Domain is located in the hinterland of Soyaux, near Angoulème, surrounded by forest regions. Albeit the national road is close, it's not in any way disturbing. And it's gorgeously pretty! I felt like a queen, two centuries back. :-) The owners are nothing but great. Very accessible, knowledgable about anything culture or food, and they truly love their gardens. You feel like the best, favourite customer. True hosts. We loved the aspect of getting together with others at breakfast (love it or leave it...); it adds a cozy, friendly value and brings together people. The breakfast itself is very nicely presented and if you should miss something, it appears by sheer magic.

United KingdomIf I had to make any adjustments, I would have hoped for a little more maintenance of the small garden at our cottage for a more usable space. There was a peculiar smell when we arrived which we fixed with some scented candles, I presume the age of the property doesn't help with this. A more used common area would be nice for evenings with perhaps a bar option? Even a guest gathering once a week would really help to create an atmosphere, perhaps a bbq or pizza night with music. Honesty those were minor things I would adjust for the dream stay, everything was great.
The place is beautiful with a fabulous pool, great local amenities and a real rural French feel. We loved the ping pong and sports additions which were welcomed with young boys. A lovely, slow paced break for us which was much needed. Definitely recommend hiring a car as there are so many incredible spots locally to visit. Staff were super helpful and anything we needed, it was never too much trouble.
