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.).

Verified reviewBreakfast was really great. Simple yet good choices.
Showers were a little on the small side and shower head did not disperse the water as well. Still comfortable

Verified reviewThe team was very helpful, very kind and available! The shower downstair from the beach is a great idea and the biles and games for kids.
We would have love some coffee in the room and eggs for the breakfast would have been great.

Verified review- Parking on the street really close by - Distance hotel-beach: 10 meters - A filtered tap water service free of charge - Good air conditioning - Very friendly staff - Very clean room
- The 'family' room was rather (too) small with two beds crammed in a nook of the room, that looked like a fitting room of a clothes store due to the curtains that close it off - the entire bathroom floor becomes dirty/sandy/wet when using the shower - no mini fridge in the room - the so-called "sea view" was quite limited to the window opposing one bed, the other beds had a milk glass window in front.

Verified reviewMy stay at this hotel was very enjoyable. The staff and amenities were excellent. The position of the hotel was fantastic.
the only down side of my stay was the breakfast was very limited considering the price: bread, croissant, cereal, ham & cheese.

Verified reviewGood location but total lack of facilities, we stayed Saturday until Weds arriving late pm on Saturday. Beach facilities were open on Sunday in mixed windy weather but shut on Monday and Tuesday in glorious sunshine. The proprietor helped us with deck chairs on Monday when the sun was sunshine but other guests had to help themselves but on Tuesday its was 30 degrees sunshine and self service and a begrudging bar service…. Certainly not what was depicted on the hotel website and this spoilt the stay……obviously 30 degrees is not summer !!!!!!!!!
See above all put in the wrong box ! a coat of external paint and a few nails to put the weathered wood wouldn’t have gone a miss

Verified reviewRoom was adequate and the balcony looked over the sea. It was a bit cramped with the dog. The shower was restricting for movement but the water flow was good and hot. The staff could not be more helpful. The location is superb. The parking is in the street but it is free and feels safe. Breakfast is good. For the evening meal there is plenty of chose. Th meal in the next door hotel is good.

Verified reviewDelightful seaside town, not touristy, charming English speaking hosts, perfect location, room ok for the price, parking in road immediately outside very easy - out of season.
No kettle in room. Cold sometimes. You can make yourself a coffee from the machine in the seafront cafe part and pay for them when you leave. I'd prefer to pay as I use, I'm wary of these situs: so I know we had 1+3+1 = 5 over two days - when we left the girl said 11, I said no, definitely 5, she said 'oh maybe 8 then'. ? As it was all so little money I just paid up so we could get on our way, but it spoilt it for me.

Verified reviewGreat spot nice, quiet and chill hotel for 2-3days stay, fantastic view, nice breakfast, comfy bed. Very polite and helpful staff which rise up all the good things of feeling in this hotel and short trip to La Rochelle. I like some art touch here and there like posters on the walls, some water sports old fashion equipment pieces in stairs and other places.
Little touch in the room , floor in bathroom required handy man :)

Verified reviewThe hotel was lovely, with a large room and bed. The welcome from the receptionist was unpleasant. She was unhelpful and very miserable.
The area the hotel was in was not good. a lot of young men gathered around drinking and smoking. The receptionist was not welcoming and seemed very miserable

Room stank of smoke. Bathroom fittings were grubby and headboard just a plank of wood. Parking was neither freely available or free in the surrounding streets.
