Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The breakfast is very basic and no variety. The rooms are noisy and hot during the night. Do not open the window because the water of the river nearby makes you crazy

The hotel's Italian restaurant was closed for several weeks (chef on vacation!). We didn't know this until a couple of weeks before we arrived, well after we had booked. The staff were very helpful in trying to find alternatives in town, but so many places were also closed, or fully booked, so there wasn't too much choice.
An Xmas gift to every guest! A wonderful gesture. Our dog was welcomed, and befriended by staff and guests. The view across the river to the old town, and of the very old bridge (being restored) was stupendous. Good walking paths, for dog (and humans) along the far side river bank. Easily accessible via the old bridge. Close-in car park.

I am not a very tall woman and could only see the top of my head in the bathroom mirror. Not helpful.
The view from the room was of the weir, the bridge and across the river to the old town. Lovely to be able to watch numerous birds skimming the water.

Nothing of note
I stayed at the Mecure Albi Bastides on the third and fourth nights of a 30 day road trip through France and Spain. I was really impresssed with this hotel. Firstly, there was a large private car park in the grounds of the hotel. Once in the reception area, staff were very welcoming and spoke excellent English. My room was very comfortable, with good facilities and great views over stunning Albi. The hotel restaurant was reasonably good value and the food was very good with the option of outdoor dining with impressive views of the river and cathedral. Breakfast was also very good with lots of choice.

The "door stop" was too far from the wall, so I stubbed my toe on it, a member of staff agreed, and said he would have it fixed. I complained that the kettle didn't work, it did, but it had a strange "slider" switch.
room, view, location. breakfast on the terrace.

Nothing, it was fine for us. Everything we needed for a visit to the historic centre which was about 20 minutes by foot.
The view from the room and the restaurant was great, location good, parking easy and the food was exceptionally good, much better than some of the more expensive modern hotels we stayed in on this trip. Comfortable room and friendly staff as well as a garden suitable for my large dog, who was welcomed. We were allowed to leave the car in the car park for the morning before we checked in later.
