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.).

This was our second stay here. We were able to check in early which was a great bonus. Hotel is a short walk from the bus stop from Biarritz railway station on route number 5. A 5 minute stroll into town and 10 minutes from the beach. Breakfast amazing, sat in the courtyard garden. Nothing was too much trouble. Hosts are very welcoming and friendly.

We had the lower floor room, very quiet and delightfully laid out with a koi pond nearby. Our family had the first floor room, which meant they heard more traffic noise. Not sure how they hotel can alter this as they have decent sound-proofing and it's not the hotel that is making the noise!
If you would like to experience Biarritz and have only driven through it before then this is a very good place to stay. As they say on the television "location, location, location" and this property satisfies this very effectively. It's facing the Jardin Public pretty much in the center of the town. We parked at the Iraty car park just on the outskirts and €2,20 tickets on the 31 bus took us to 200m from the hotel (bus runs every 15 min and it takes 10 min from end - Iraty - to end - Jardin Public - with only 4 stops in total). The breakfasts are optional, but well worth it as they are healthy, delicious and served with a lovely coffee. The airport is also a reasonable 10 minute taxi away for c. €20 if taken from the airport.

One thing to note: like many hotels in France, the windows don’t screens and there is no A/C. It’s usually not an issue, especially since the area doesn’t get too hot—but worth keeping in mind.
The location is perfect - walkable to everything in the area. The host was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and the accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you needed—nothing excessive, just thoughtfully done.

Family run hotel with lovely furnishings. Our room was spacious with modern amenities. Shower had plenty of water pressure. Close to the centre of town and several restaurants. Perhaps a 7-10 minute walk to the sea. Breakfast was lovely. There were issues with their wifi router so there was no wifi in our rooms but there was wifi downstairs. They were aware and were attempting to fix

It was slightly strange walking through the living room of the owner on the way in and out of the hotel. Basically the lobby is their lounge with TV and everything.
Nice clean hotel with big rooms, right in the middle of the city. Walking distance to beach / harbour. Proper bath in our room!

There wasn't much not to like, really
A small, elegant, family-run hotel within easy reach of the sea, the Casino and the Basque restaurants that surround Les Halles. An egg - boiled or fried - and local cheese accompanied the traditional breakfast in the dining room. The perfect base for exploring.
