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.).

More honest disclosure would have prepared me better than the glowing reviews at the top of this page. First: this is a small hostel not a B&B. Please call it that. This is a fine hostel but some people are done with hosteling. The photos are out of date. The entrance doesn’t look like the picture, it’s a construction site. There is no “Sea View Room”, the vegetation has grown over. The entrance is unlit at night. It is at the top of a very steep hill, a long and hot walk. I don’t want to disparage the place, it just needs better disclosure.

Verified reviewNot much
I stayed in Room M - what the property failed to mention was that there were 2 roosters below my bedroom window that started to crow at 3-30am and continued all night..It was impossible to sleep. They also fail to mention that the other rooms are rented to long term guests who treat the place like their home and leave their things all over the place - in the kitchen, dining area, entrance etc. The front area is a building site not as in the picture. The pinned location is also incorrect.

Verified reviewThe terrace was nice and it was a spacious space. Communication and check-ins were smooth.
I was baffled to see a construction site at the front of the property. It looks like the front patio is being remodelled, but should guest be allowed to walk around this site whilst the work is ongoing? The common area is stuffy (needs to be aired) The place needs to be deep cleaned. It’s dusty. The toilet appeared cleaned but it had a smell. The remote control for both air con and TV were sticky. A lot if the surfaces were sticky. I think I would have got ok value for money if all the above were sorted.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the terrace, the spaciousness, and smooth check-in. We’re sorry about the issues you experienced, including cleanliness and the ongoing renovations. Your comments are noted, and we’re taking steps to address these concerns promptly. We hope to welcome you back under better conditions in the future.

The hostess does not speak English despite it is mentioned in the Booking ad so it was difficult to find this accommodation. There is no sign or any other evidence that you have arrived to the right place.

Verified reviewThe Kapokier is located above San Pierre and has lovely views of the city and the sea. It is easy walking distance from town. The place and rooms are very spacious and well equipped. Despite my poor French I was very well received and they helped me with everything I needed and made sure I was doing fine. Highly recommend this place.
