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.).

- I had quite an old room that deserves some renovation. However the bathroom was refreshed and everything worked as intended. - The hotel does not provide any parking spots. However they let me park in front of the building until I sorted out where to keep my car during my stay. For shorter stays you cannot book anything and you need to solve this in the tourist office of Tignes. Since all the underground parkings were completely full, they told me to park on a street with a special ticket.
- This is the best location you can get in Tignes - walking distance to the lifts leading to both sides of the resort. I mean literally you just need to cross the street. - Excellent breakfast with a view of the Tignes valley. - Very friendly and funny staff. - Nice, a bit old-school vibe of a mountain chalet (it’s one of the oldest buildings in town).

No complaints - loved the place!
Stayed at Le Refuge early March 2025. Rooms were ideal for us (group of 5 friends in a twin and a triple), not huge but enough space for what we needed. Hotel location is fantastic for kicking off and ending the day on the slopes. Storage for snowboards very convenient which helps at the end of a long day. Even better were the spa facilities which we used most days to rejuvenate our battered limbs! Lovely breakfast spread which we had to pay for as wasn't included in the Booking.com price, but well worth it. Staff friendly and helpful.

The rooms were a bit outdated and not enough storage for a ski trip. The breakfast was ok but not a lot of warm options. The hot tub should be renamed warm tub. But this seems to be the case for the area. Staff seemed to be in a bad mood in the mornings and apathetic at other times.
The location was the best part. You could access all lifts very conveniently. The breakfast was in the top floor with great views. The sauna and steam room were great.

Rooms nicely finished but pillows were a weird square shape and uncomfortable. Could not control heat in room (either too warm with windows closed / too cold with windows open) A bigger cooked breakfast option for UK guests (ie - sausages / beans / cooked tomatoes / mushrooms / poached or fried eggs) ENGLISH Tea!
Location location location - fantastic central location with easy access to all the ski lifts in Tignes Le Lac - effectively ski in ski out. Charming chalet hotel with history and nicely finished throughout; complementary ski lockers and hot tub / steam room / sauna a bonus

The hotel could have been cleaner, I woke every night suffering from dust allergies and the spa is in need of a refurbishment/deep clean.
The hotel is incredibly well located for accessing the mountain and the breakfast was amazing.

The hotel has a nice traditional feel, good facilities and activities available in the hotel. The location is probably the best of any hotel in town right next to lifts and rental shops. The hotel is essentially ski in/ ski out. Staff were helpful and friendly and easy to communicate with before and during the stay.
