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.).

LithuaniaGreat small hotel in the centre of Tours, just off Rue Colbert, close to all main sights and the railway station. Very friendly and helpful owners. Simple and excellent breakfast. Big, comfortable room. Recommend.

United KingdomThe rooms were rather on the small side, with barely room to swing a shrew, let alone a cat. On the other hand, it is very much a 'boutique hotel' and does this very well.
L'Hotel du Cygne is a quirky, bijou boutique hotel right in the centre of Tours, excellently located for strolling the town and sampling the local delights. The staff were rather lovely and very helpful and the rooms more than adequate for a short stay.

United KingdomNothing, we liked everything about it. There’s no designated parking but they message you with info on the nearest multi story and it’s only a 7 min (ish) walk.
The room was beautifully decorated and a great size. My kids loved that there were two single beds, as they usually have to share a sofa bed in hotels. The location is fabulous, a short walk to all the shops, bars, restaurants etc. Tours is a fabulous city. Lovely breakfast and lovely staff. I’d definitely return and definitely recommend this hotel!

United StatesA mini-fridge would be great. No in-room coffee machine (this was a listing error that they submitted for correction). No elevator (but the staff will help with luggage). The breakfast area can get a bit busy at peak time.
Superb location overall. Very quiet. Fantastic and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast options. Great bathroom. Great (and quiet) AC. Basic shopping within 2' from front door (Carrefour Express West on Rue Colbert). Great laundry within 3' from front door (East on Rue Colbert). Plenty of restaurants (French gourmet/traditional/crepes, Indian, Lebanese, Syrian, Italian, Tapas) on Rue Colbert and around

United KingdomThe reason I have not scored the bed comfort well is that I think the sheets were a bit itchy. I wonder if you are using an organic laundry detergent, because some of the harsher ones do cause this itching. It did make it difficult to fall asleep, but it is possible it was just me feeling itchy! There should be a tap that guests can fill water bottles from. And it would be good if you had some long-life oat milk in stock. I am just someone who prefers oat milk, but to learn that you had no dairy alternative at all was surprising, since so many people are dairy intolerant or vegan.
I was thrilled to have found this characterful place at short notice. The room rate for the attic room, for one person, was a real reduction. It is nice when travelling alone not to have to pay for a double room. Although the room was up 3 flights of stairs, my luggage was taken up for me, so it wasn't a problem. I loved the view of the rooves from my attic window, and I love the green everywhere!

I really loved my stay at Hotel du Cygne, I loved the style and eclectic decoration of this 19th century building, the wooden staircase and the overall feel. The bedding was amazing and very comfortable and all the facilities are very good, from soap to high pressure warm water in the top floor shower. Highly recommended, I wished I was staying a bit longer: I love also that it is a dog friendly hotel that remains spotless. The hosts were knowledgable and helpful. Everything is within walking distance and Tours is such a beautiful city. Great restaurants, ice cream, bars a vins and coffee shops nearby. It’s a real hidden gem and I wish them the success they deserve ❤️

United KingdomNo lift, but we were made aware of this. It wasn't too bad for us as we were on the 1st floor. Paper cups for the hot drinks in the room. We went out and bought two mugs!
Central location.Quirky decoration. Clean room. Very welcoming staff. Took time to help us with parking and pointing out the important things to visit. Great continental breakfast. Large room but it was for 4 people and there was only 2 of us, but it was the only room left when booking.

GermanyThe mistake was, to stay only for one night as we were on our journey to Spain.
This is the place to be, when you are in Tours. The hotel is stylish & charming, located in an area surrounded by little restaurants from all over the world. A five stars gelateria is just arround the corner. Although the area is busy at night, the hotel is very quiet. The breakfast involves everything you can think of & is prepared with details & care. The hosts are very kind.
