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 reviewGood location and looked nice inside
This is a place you check into with no staff. We found it very difficult to find the car park which was private. Slightly further away than the public car park. Cost the same supposedly more secure ..not so sure that it was . Eventually found it with a phone call. Went down for breakfast at 7.30 and nothing there …tried phoning to inquire where…got no reply . It did eventually come. Very noisy at night so difficult to fall asleep. Tried sitting on their sofa arrangement and found myself on the floor struggling to get up.

Verified reviewLocation was PERFECT. Staying inside the castle was amazing. Breakfast was nice, we had our own little tables (we had two croissants between the two of us, there was an assortment of cereals, breads, spreads, yoghurt, juices etc) I would definitely stay here again however there’s a few things I think could be improved:
The bathroom fan in our room needs fixing. Couldn’t get it to work during our stay and the bathroom fogged up. Need more towels hooks in the bathroom and the two that are there need to be separated a bit so the towels dry. The pillows on the bed aren’t very comfortable - we found them too thin and uneven. Lastly, some double glazed windows would earn it a 10/10 rating. Being next to the street, you hear everything.

Verified reviewExceptional! Absolutely stunning B&B located within the walls of medieval Carcassone. Beautifully furnished and equipped, would loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the wonderful ambiance fully. The breakfast was delicious and in such a relaxing setting. We can't praise it high enough, would love to return and will certainly recommend it to our friends and family. Also, the parking was close to the entrance.
Nothing at all

Verified reviewThe location and the way it was renovated was amazing! The breakfast was also sooooo good. The fruit was so ripe and all the breakfast pastries were iconic French and did not disappoint!
Missed some vital instructions because I didn’t turn on cell service to receive them. Something in general to know in general that to receive the codes and all the instructions for the code and the room key you cannot rely on WiFi.

Verified reviewThe property itself and the breakfast was lovely. It was clean and an excellent location within the city walls.
Sadly, our car was broken into at the car park for hotels located within the city walls (the recommended car park). Despite the carpark being barriered and a code being necessary to access this only offers the pretence of being secure, when it is anything but. The site did not appear to be staffed. Judging by police reaction break-ins and thiefing is not uncommon. If staying at this lovely hotel, find your own secure parking ideally in a locked garage or compound.
