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):
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.
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.).

IrelandOnly downside was that the water from the shower can spill out. Otherwise excellent.
The location is perfect. It’s exactly as shown in the pictures and sits beneath the castle curtain wall. A 4 minute walk brings you to a castle gate. The garden is shared with the other gite but it is quiet and big. There is lots of local information available in the property and the guide book was excellent.

United StatesNot much. We like iced drinks and it was hard to keep enough ice in the little freezer section in the refrigerator. But that a trivial complaint.
The location is unbeatable. Just look at the photo of the view of the ramparts from the upper garden area. There is a nearby foot path up the hill that gets you to Porte Aude in 6 minutes and a charming little epicerie within a 10 minute walk The apartment was well appointed and comfortable. Our hosts were very helpful in getting reservations made. We enjoyed the beginning and end of each day on the terrace (croissants from the epicerie in the morning, and methode ancienne wine in the evening). I'd definitely book it again.

Beautiful accommodation and friendly hosts. Nice space, location, and a spectacular yard with panoramic views. Only a short walk to local sites.

JapanHard to tell, we had such a nice stay!
Spacious house with the most beautiful gardens just under the castle. It’s less than 10 minutes walking distance to the rear entrance of the castle which is more scenic and less crowded than the main gate. The surroundings are very peaceful and quiet, we felt very safe staying in the neighbourhood. The host was super kind too. Highly recommended for people who want to have tranquility and a quality experience.

IrelandMosquitoes - it was hot and humid while we were in Carcassone and you couldn't avoid them so be prepared for this time of year and bring your spray!
The accommodation was exactly as described and in the pictures. Very spacious, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. There are two large bedrooms with air conditioning, a spacious sitting and dining room with a selection of books/games, TV and sound system. There are 2 ensuite bathrooms with great showers, and one toilet off the main living room. Note, one of the ensuite bathrooms does not have a toilet. The kitchen is fully equipped and spacious. The outdoor space is also large and the rear garden looks onto the castle walls/ramparts. The garden is a split-level garden over 3 levels with seating on each area which is perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On a good day the garden is bathed in sunlight! There is an Épicerie just down the road which sells fine breads and cheeses etc., and the Chateau is right behind the property. We had excellent communication with our host (David) who was very helpful. Overall, a very enjoyable stay!
