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.).

CanadaThere was nothing that I didn’t like about the property. One thing I would mention is that it would be good to include in the booking page, that the rooms only include European outlets, rather than UK outlets. I would have brought different chargers if I knew that. But they provide adapters in the room for international travellers, so it wasn’t that big of an issue.
I enjoyed the environmental consciousness of the site, along with the beautifully arranged rooms and the gorgeous common spaces. The included breakfast each morning was some how even better than the one before. I also enjoyed the connections with the local restaurants, to make enjoy dinner easy peasy. The owners of the property were super helpful, always available and really kind.

IrelandAntoine and Estelle, and their lovely staff made us feel welcome from the first day. We booked the Pool Villa and it was truly an oasis of relaxation. The Villa is perfectly equipped and beautifully decorated to feel like a real home. The highlight for us was the beautiful garden with the private Pool. We really enjoyed the breakfast as well. This was by far our best accommodation in Mautirius and we can highly recommend the Good Life.

BelgiumEven though the breakfast seemed exciting the first day, the limited menu gets repetitive after few days. Rooms although stylish, have very little space for putting your clothes, during a longer stay like ours we had to leave our things in the luggages- not great. Secondly the bathroom is in the same space as the bedroom, there is only blinds with which you can gain some privacy.
Small size of this boutique hotel is a great advantage of the place, only 8 ‘rooms’/ houses so it’s never too crowded around the pool, which is great! The owner- Antoine is very kind and helpful, every day he took time to ask about your plans and give you advices. Other members of the staff were always very kind too! Location of the hotel is great (it’s calm) if you have your own vehicle/ driver.

GermanyOne thing to consider if you want to visit the whole island: the Good Life Eco Lodges is the perfect place to stay to explore the northern part of the island. But if you want to see a lot in the south, you need to drive a lot. So its better to split up the vacation time and have an accommodation in the south too, to reduce your travel time to all the wonders of the island.
We spent our honeymoon in November 24 at the Good Life Eco Lodges and really loved the peace and seclution. After arriving, we had a very warm welcome by the owner Antoine. He was very helpful during the whole trip and gave us a lot of good advices and contacts, to make sure, that we have a pleasant stay. Also the staff was very nice and accommodating. Especially Kavita spoiled us everyday - thank you so much for that! The breakfast and food was outstanding and one of the reasons, why we chose the accommodation in the first place. We absolutely recommend the Good Life Lodges, if you are looking for a stay away from the tourist crowds!

IrelandProximity of road but while there is a traffic noise it's down at night and nothing ear plugs won't fix. On positive side that means easy and instant road access
Great taste of Northern Mauritius, lovely family run vegetarian friendly establishment. The centre piece is a swimming pool worthy of 5 star resorts. It's a really peaceful and relaxing place to chill out. Every little detail is well thought out, including water bottles to reduce plastic waste. In short driving distance there are good beach and local food. Just wish to stay little bit longer...

United KingdomWe stayed at The Good Life Eco Lodge during our honeymoon. The staff were brilliant at welcoming us and explaining the local area. Our room was a good size and very clean. The TV had Netflix which meant we could login and watch TV in bed. The water pressure was good. The pool was lovely, especially next to the natural flora and fauna. The food was excellent and the breakfast was delicious. As a vegan, there were 2 options (pancakes or avocado toast) which was great, but would have got repetitive if we had stayed longer. I would have loved a plant-based smoothie/acai bowl. We visited the nearby Lux hotel for dinner which we'd highly recommend. We hired a driver to explore the island which was brilliant and hired bikes from The Good Life. A beautiful place to stay which prioritises health and sustainability which was really important to us.
