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 reviewOne of the nicest places I've stayed. Great hosts who spoke very good English. Beautiful house with some of the best decor I've come across, little details everywhere make it completely unique. Lovely garden with lots of produce growing and pet tortoises roaming around. Pool area is great with games for kids and adults, sadly we didn't get to use the actual pool as the weather was terrible, same for the courtyard and BBQ next to the house, but still had a lovely stay. About 10 mins drive to Carcassonne old town and very close to the airport. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay again

Verified reviewA wonderful warm welcome to Sabrina & Benoit's lovely property. We stayed in the 2 bedroom house and it was so large and comfortable with lots of fun personal decorations. The breakfast served on our private terrace was lovely and the pool, ping pong, darts and gardens were a pleasure to enjoy. S & B were so helpful and we can't wait to return!
The only thing I can think was that the leather sofa in the salon was not very comfortable. Everything else was great!

Verified reviewEverything was just perfect. The location was quiet and peaceful. We had 3-4 flights a day taking off from the nearby airport but they made noice for 20 seconds and then gone. The small planes made not much noise. We enjoyed breakfast every morning and it was wonderful. Pool area was perfect with ping pong and darts. Hosts were helpful with maps and guide to surrounding area

Verified reviewEverything. The big beautiful old house so lovingly restored. Everything worked and we still had feeling of old grandeur with wonderful surprises in the decor. Very spacious and so comfortable. The evening meal and breakfast were delicious and great value for money. The outside pool area had everything a family could want. Decent sized pool sunbed, table tennis and bowls. Also pool toys for my little grandchildren and games in the house. Best of all was the BBQ. Such fun we had cooking and eating on the patio in the evenings. A home from home. Wish we could have stayed longer. Huge thank you to Sabrina & Ben. They were genuinely the nicest and most helpful hosts I’ve ever met.
Nothing. Also great for exploring the old city of Carcasonne.

Verified reviewThe host was so welcoming and friendly and the property was certainly characterful. This did not come without its challenges. Breakfast was good, with delicious home made crepes.
There are 2 houses used as accommodation. The front one is certainly better than the back one. The toilet facilities in the back one are totally unacceptable, especially if you are sharing with people you don’t know so well. A toilet under the stairs with just a curtain and not a door next to the living room is just not good. Also the hand basin in the downstairs bathroom is hopeless, with no hot water. The couple who own this property are clearly extremely creative with their fit out of the property, but this does not work when creativity over rides practicality.
Bonjour Wayne Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay with us, and for your kind words regarding our hospitality, breakfast, and the character of our houses. We’re truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of the accommodation did not meet your expectations. Our two homes have been thoughtfully designed with a creative and eco-conscious approach based on upcycling, giving each space a unique charm. This includes the use of vintage fixtures, which may feel different from modern fittings but are fully functional—with hot water available at both the sink and the shower. As for the ground-floor toilet, it is intended as a convenience, particularly for use during the day when guests are enjoying the pool and garden. A second toilet, located upstairs in the main bathroom, is fully enclosed and offers greater privacy. We’d also like to clarify that our properties are best suited to families or groups of friends looking for a convivial and relaxed setting. They may not be ideal for groups made up of individuals who do not know each other well, as the layout encourages shared living and informal interaction. We appreciate your comments, which help us reflect and improve, all while remaining true to the spirit of our homes. We hope you still enjoyed your visit to the region and left with some pleasant memories. Sabrina

Verified reviewBeautiful private villa with two large comfortable bedrooms and a well-equipped living area. The daily breakfast was great and very substantial. We also requested dinner each evening which was a delicious three course meal with a bottle of local wine. This was a great option, especially when travelling with a toddler as we were able to enjoy dinner as a couple when he was asleep. Highly recommend.

Verified reviewThe accommodation was fantastic, breakfast was offered but we didn’t take advantage of this. Sabrina and Benoit were the most fantastic hosts, so helpful, extremely friendly and welcoming and very generous. We were given fresh vegetables and eggs and they were so helpful with suggestions on where to go and what to visit. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Everything was brilliant. The pool area was fantastic with games tables and darts and platonk, you could wander in the garden and find the tortoises which was just so lovely. I really hope we will re-visit one day. The area is beautiful with the medieval city just a few miles drive away. An unbelievable place to visit! Incredible.
Nothing! Honestly it was absolutely fantastic.
