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.).

United KingdomWe liked everything! We think it is a perfect place to stay in a very special area of historic and gastronomic importance. As always, a swimming pool or little pool to sit would be welcome - but this is a luxury - and the wonderful showers upstairs help you to be cool and feel great. On entering the property through the metal gateway, be aware if your vehicle is low, that you do not ground it on the right hand side (gate resting side). If you have an SUV, you will be ok.
Les Pimprenelles is located in an amazing, quiet location adjacent to the ramparts and very easy stroll across the little private road to walk into the cite. We could easily park our car within the Les Pimprenelles property, and was fully secure. Paul kindly sent us a video of how to get into the premises, safely. The accomodation is great, each room has gone through modernisation, attractive, comfortable. The views at the back of the property are beautiful, with choice of patio/ balcony on ground and first floor, definitely a sun trap. And air con, works very well. Bed comfortable. Kitchen is set up for self catering with essential facilities, although it is easy to stroll across the way into the cite where there are many great restaurants and bars. Very convenient for seeing everything and feeling the vibe of the history and culture of previous times - and modern times.

United KingdomLack of basic items, such as hand soap, a couple of dishwasher tablets perhaps, a tea towel would be useful, better shower toiletries etc. all these things would have been welcome touches. Couldn’t find a sharp cooking knife, and a lack of cooking utensils.
Superb location just across from the Cité. Spacious rooms and the two terraces were excellent to use. Modern styling, well designed bathrooms. Very safe and secure with the gate leading to parking. Lovely and clean.

We have recommended to friends and family. Location is great, literally a stones throw from the Cite. We sat on the veranda in the evening singing along to Sting performing Live at the festival.

FranceThe road outside was a little narrow a couple of drivers were getting impatient when we exited the villa and closed the electronic gates. It's not the owner's fault just the usual can't wait syndrome. If you have a long car reverse into the driveway it's easier.
First, it was meeting Paul the owner who couldn't have been more helpful, friendly and courteous. He was busy with other commitments but took his time explaining everything and did not leave until he was sure we were happy with the villa. The villa was spotless, and spacious and had everything you needed for your stay. The bedrooms were of a good size with en-suite facilities. I'm happy to return in the future. The location was excellent a stone's throw from the Castle in Carcassonne We had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer.

United StatesA beautiful house I could see myself living in that was spotless. Every room, the bathrooms and the decks were wonderful. I even had a chance to do a quick load of washing. After seeing all the tourists in the city, I was pleased that we chose to stay just outside the walls, a 2 min walk away.

Francenot that I didnt like, just be attentive, the parking entrance is very stiff, so if your car is low as mince just be careful when entering or exiting,
it is an amazing place with great location, u basically live under the castle, enough to cross the road and u r in the old town. Villa is huge, modern, with several terasses, with a night view on a castle, we really enjoyed it, highly recommended

SpainI had a great stay and would definitely book this place again. However, I do have a minor complaint. It would be nice if there was a higher quality toilet paper provided and more than one roll per bathroom. Also, the shampoo and soap could be improved to a higher standard which would make a big difference for guests. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.

Puerto RicoThe only opportunity we can mention is better bathroom amenities, such as soap, and the basics. This was not a big deal, it is the only opportunity for improvement we saw.
The villa has a great space. The location is amazing with great views. You don’t see many reviews as we were the first guests. I strongly recommend this property.
