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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Butterfly Villas. The communication with the owner was good from the start. The housekeeper went out of her way to make our stay great. It is easy to get around with the busses. You can download the SPTC app to track the busses. The owner is a taxi driver as well, I wish I knew before we got there! He did our transfer back to the port for a very reasonable price. Various shops within walking distance.
Nothing.

Verified reviewVery comfortable, open layout. Beach close by for a quick dip. Very friendly people in the neighbourhood. They will not make contact unless you do. If you want to be left alone, they will not bother you. So it's your choice. Nightdip with an outdoor shower in the garden is also a great way to end the day. We loved it and wish to come back again, nexy time with the entire family renting all of the property. Love to Lyanna and Ella. You made it into a memory that will last forever.
In this country, there aren't many kitchen fans/ blowouts. So it will get smokey when you use a frying pan, and you want all windows and doors open to clear the room. It is not ideal to keep the heat out when you want to use the AC for the entire floor. The AC is located in the bedroom. Make no mistake, this country is really really hot. Has nothing to do with the property itself.

Verified reviewThe spacious villa offers everything you may need for a self catering holiday! Super well equipped and right next to a beautiful (often empty) beach! It's close to shops and restaurants at grand anse beach and before (however traveling with kids i'd recommend renting a car). Astovio is the nicest guy and will make sure you have everything you need!

Verified reviewThe accommodation is spacious, clean, the kitchen is well equipped. There is a bus stop right next to the accommodation, from which you can comfortably travel the entire island. The owner is very helpful and pleasant. The accommodation met our expectations and I recommend it to everyone.
Everything was OK.

Verified reviewWonderful host and great location away from the busy/busier tourist areas. Sea is across the road! Busstop in front of the house, if you don't mind the wait every now and then one can do without a car!

Verified reviewAstovio and Ella were very nice and helpful. The place was great for our needs for five days. The location was near to the villages of Grand Anse and Anse Kerlan where there are restaurants and supermarkets. There is a bus stop outside the house if you are using public transportation. If renting a car, as we did, any location on Praslin is really fine as the island is small enough to get anywhere within 45 minutes.

Verified reviewWe couldn’t choose a better place to stay! It is all about the most friendly and caring person you can be with and it is Astovio himself. There’s no enough place to write about how nice, kind and caring he is. The surroundings are just beautiful, the bus stop is front of the house. Everyone around is super friendly. Tomas went for fishing with Andre, who lives nearby and came loaded with fishes for one week🙂 This is the best place for easy going and relaxed stay on Praslin.

Verified reviewAstovio was the perfect host: very caring, always kind and helpful. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We asked him for a blender, for a grill and for hammock and he organized them very quickly for us. If you need anything, just ask him and he'll be happy to help. He and his son also transferred us from and to the harbour with his taxi and gave us wonderful tips for activities in the island. I highly recommend his guesthouse.
