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 outdoor space.
No restaurant! Was not open but did not tell you that when you booked a none refundable booking !! The children were not allowed to use the pool, again this was not mentioned until after the booking !! Totally poor and for £400 a night found it a little naughty being lied to.

Verified reviewGood staff, nice facilities - generally. The pool was good, the ‘hot’ tub is not a hot tub - it’s the same temperature as the pool. The steam room and the sauna are only operational for limited hours - disappointing if it doesn’t happen to be when you are there. Overall - very expensive for drinks and food. Restaurant is good but not outstanding. Breakfast at 25 Euros per head is just way too much. Better places available for less money.
Operational hours for Spa facilities. Prices in general were excessive.

Verified reviewSplendid property, in beautiful setting and excellent location.
Our room was quite nice, with a beautiful view and lots of lights, but the it - as well as the bathroom - could need some refreshments. Upon arrival, we had to wait a long time at the check-in (no one was present). Especially disturbing was that the fact that the wastebasket in the bathroom was not clean (it was not emptied ).

Verified reviewPeaceful and quiet setting for the hotel which is surrounded by large gardens with interesting and some quirky aspects. Good swimming pool in the nearby spa. Excellent cuisine for dinner in the hotel restaurant. Large comfortable bedroom with excellent facilities and a nice bathroom with a good shower.
Some of the prices are excessive for the value received. 25 euros for a very mediocre breakfast was frankly wildly excessive. 7 euros for a bottle of the hotel’s own bottled water seemed rather steep. The hotel had reserved a table for me for dinner in the restaurant at 19h30. No choice of time had been offered to me. On arrival at the restaurant at 19h30 there was no sign of a single member of staff, so I sat and read a magazine in the entrance hall for the next 25 minutes. Eventually I was seated at 19h55 but I was not offered a menu or anything to drink for a further 10 minutes. There was just one female member of staff who was waiting on 9 tables entirely on her own. The service of the meal took until 22h00 which I felt was really very unsatisfactory. The cuisine of each dish was in fact excellent but the meal was ruined by the above detrimental points. When checking out the following morning I was presented with a bill which was about double what I was expecting. On examination it included some but not all of the items that I had had for dinner as well as various drinks and food items that had clearly been ordered by another guest. This was quickly corrected and I was presented with my proper bill for settlement. I was unimpressed by this error by the hotel. After I had led the hotel I was annoyed to see from the bill that I had been charged 2.30 euros for the taxe de séjour when this was clearly shown on my Booking.com reservation confirmation as included in the room total that I had already paid. All in all I regret that these significant matters detracted from the enjoyment of staying in what is otherwise a delightful and well maintained hotel with courteous staff.

Verified reviewIt was a good location. Well presented. Nice bar/ lounge area. Our room looked out over the sea which was nice. Breakfast was good, reasonable choice Spa facilities were good
Restaurant was closed, despite both Booking com and also Hotel own website stating the restaurant was open. Issues with the lift but there was a note to say button was broken, causing some difficulties. In my opinion breakfast was a bit expensive compared to other hotels we had used through France (maximum paid €17) for similar choice

Verified reviewLovely place, gorgeous grounds. Our rooms were large and well equipped and very comfortable, the spa was excellent, nice pool and outside area and a small but adequate sauna and steam room. We arrived at lunch time and had a light sharing board in the garden with some drinks and then had dinner in the restaurant. The bar area is very welcoming. The whole place is perfect for breaking the journey from Dieppe into deeper France. Would have liked to have more time to visit the local area which seems charming.
All was very good, only thing seems to be that they expect guests to be absent over lunch, so the lunch offering is very minimal -but tasty! - and the service was quite slow as they had to find staff to serve us. Spa opening hours were 3pm - 9pm and then open only at 9am again. I am an early riser and like to have a swim before breakfast, which was therefore not possible.

Verified reviewLovely peaceful location. Beautiful grounds. Very comfortable bed. Excellent food especially evening dinner. Plenty of parking. Close proximity to very quiet beach. Ideal for visiting nearby highlights including beautiful Honfleur and stunning Deauville. Even a welcoming fire in the lounge.
Only minor point was that lift buttons were temperamental. Hardly a major point though !

Verified reviewBeuatiful property in a beautiful location. The gradens and spa are amazing and the rooms are tasteful and spacious.
We wont say we disliked anything but believe that is a property understandably more suited to adults only. The swimming pool is also for adults only, which we hadnt expected. Hence being the oböy ones with a 7 year old felt bit off place.
