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 StatesVery minor issues only-breakfast was a bit limited, room lacked milk/creamer for coffee, entry seems primarily for restaurant and somewhat hides hotel aspect.
Lovely spacious room with glamorous decor and numerous high-end and custom finishes. Great to be able to reserve parking in such a central location. Really appreciated that it was dog-friendly. Staff were very pleasant to deal with.

AustraliaThe hotel was in a great location - right by all the main attractions and the bars and restaurants. we. had breakfast in the hotel and ate dinner there also. The food was amazing. Staff are very nice. The hotel has another bar just down the road which also is great for drinks and usually some live music. Overall our 2 day stay was great and would recommend The Alchemy.

FranceThe hotel restaurant is open to the public and that's who they seem to cater for. As guests of the hotel we like to have a coffee sitting outside in the mornings, and a drink late afternoon before getting changed for dinner. However, as soon as one meal is over they lay the tables for the next. I was directed to sit at a table which they said they kept for guests, but it was a very hot day and the table was soon in full sun. This is a bit of a downside to the whole opulent experience of this hotel. I hope they remedy this soon as there is no need to lay tables straight after lunch when dinner isn't for several hours.
The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring the town. We had a room at the back so it was quiet. We didn't eat in the hotel, but there are restaurants everywhere in Albi so we didn't find it difficult to find somewhere for a nice meal. Private Hotel parking is well worth going for. Our dog was happy too, and well accepted by the hotel. A lot of thought has gone into this hotel with it's different rooms. We travelled with family and had three rooms which were the rooms on the first floor, so it was like having connected rooms. A nice touch was the room which had my grandson in it - his bed was a sofa in the entrance to the bedroom so it felt as if he was a bit separate from his mum and dad. If you haven't been to Albi I would recommend it. A nice town, with everything within walking distance. The architecture is amazing, and a visit to the Cathedral is a must.
