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 reviewWe had the family room far from the road so it was perfect. Big enough and with everything needed. Nora and her team helped with everything (transfer to the ferry, car location, boat trip to Cousin, Curieuse and île saint Jacques)
We have to cross the road for approx 30-50 meters and it is a bit dangerous. 10-15 min walk then on the beach to reach the supermarket, DAB and restaurants, which is fine because it is a nice walk on a beautiful beach. The hotel is located on the left hand corner of Anse Volbert, close to the granite rocks so better for snorkelling. We could see a small ray in the water!

Verified reviewNora was helpful in organizing trips. The location is good and the apartment big.
The staff is disinterested and not really friendly. Nora herself doesn’t know how to respect the privacy of her guests. She was running around our apartment and bathrooms while we were getting ready in the morning for something that could have easily waited an hour. Total disaster!!!

Verified reviewThe house was spatious, good wi-fi and air conditioner in each room.
700m from the first restaurant/shop, dark, no light on the way, the house was almost the last one on the property and there was no light and road, next to a forest. For 3 nights we heard some noises in the ceiling coming from a rat or bird. Also, Nora, the owner offered to prepare us fresh fish dinner for 300RP/p (600 in total), we accepted, and then the next day to find out that the exact meal that we have eaten was at a take away near, but with 250RP for 2 persons. The furniture was old.

Verified reviewI cannot recommend this guesthouse more. Nora and her staff are super friendly; the guesthouse contacted us before our arrival to confirm when we were going to be there, and if we would need a transfer, and then when we were checking in, Nora provided all the information that we needed for our stay, including where to go, when is the best time to go, how to avoid tourist traps. She booked some places to visit and helped us find a car. We also enjoyed wonderful home-cooked dinners with local cuisine, which was a nice surprise after our stay in Mahe, where it was hard to find good quality food. The location is also great - a very quiet place, but just a couple of minutes walk from the dive center and from the beautiful beach. I happened to have forgotten my shoes when we checked out and only remembered when we made it to another island - LaDigue, and I was really upset because we were not planning on returning to Praslin. But when I called Nora, she made an effort to get to the boat the next day (which is 20 min drive from the guesthouse), and she sent me the shoes that I picked up at the boat station in LaDigue. This shows how Nora cares about her guests - she makes you feel very welcomed.

Verified reviewNice guesthouse with very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and extremely clean. They give the option of a dinner service, which was very good. On our last day, they kept our luggage and even let us take a late shower, which was really appreciated.
The place is very close to Cote d'Or beach, but it's overlooking the main road and you have to walk a little in order to reach the beach.
