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.).

Can better on facilities , AC in living room
Dear R Many thanks for staying with us and for taking the time to give us your feedback. Your stay in April 2025 was the hottest month ever recorded in Seychelles. Temperatures have cooled slightly i recent days because of the change of season to the South East Monsoon, which brings cooler winds (but still warm during the day). We provide a fan in the living room, which helps with cooling. Putting an air-condition would unfortunately raise our electricity cost significantly, which would have an adverse impact on the competitive rates that we apply for our property. Havig said that, we are applying for Solar PV panels that will allow us to generate electricity. Consideration to your feedback will certainly be taken once we become more sustainable with our electricity consumption. For the comfort of our clients, we recently built a swimming pool. Thanks again and we hope to see you again one day. Best regards Peter Burian Manager

Verified reviewThe villa is spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. We loved the modern decor blended with authentic island touches. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals when we didn’t feel like dining out. The private terrace was one of our favorite spots to relax in the evenings, listening to the sounds of nature. The staff were incredibly warm, helpful, and attentive without ever being intrusive. They assisted us with everything from arranging local tours to recommending hidden gems around the island. If you are looking for a peaceful and charming place to stay on Praslin, Casa Tara Villa is an excellent choice. It offers the perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and local flavor — we would not hesitate to return.
Dear Slobodan Thank you for giving us a perfect score. Your kind words are very encouraging to the team. Thanks again for spending a few days at Casa Tara best regards from the Casa Tara Team (..including Bikal)

Verified reviewVery clean and spacious, good towels, very comfortable beds. The kitchen is well-equipped (although we didn't really cook there), several shops around. Getting to the Lemuria hotel, from which one can get to Anse Georgette, takes no time.
Noise: The small airport nearby gets quite some action -- planes can be heard as early as 6am and as late as 10pm, and you won't miss them even when taking a shower. Also the main road is right there, so depending on what you are used to, you may find the amount of noise more than what could be expected from a peaceful island. To be fair, the airport would be audible from any other apartment in the area, and I believe very many apartments on Praslin are located next to the main road. An annoying side effect is that, while we avoided using AC on the Seychelles and mostly slept with open windows, in this apartment, which heats up quite a bit during the day, we had to switch on AC at night a few times, and as a result one of us developed a cough and got quite sick. Compared to the other three accommodations we had on the Seychelles, this one was purely transactional which doesn't sound like what many other reviewers experienced but maybe the hosts have changed in the meanwhile. Basically, we got the keys from an employee who had been on Praslin for three months, didn't see any hosts in the week we spent there (but someone did come to the apartment every day even though we said we didn't need cleaning), and finally got a message "please checkout at 10am, because we need to clean the place, or pay 50 eur and checkout at 6pm". It's ok and efficient, just not the family-style that is otherwise common in the Seychelles.

Verified reviewThe accommodation was spacious and comfortable. Bikesh from the Reservation Department was always available for support and was sharing all the information in a timely manner, big thanks to that! It is approximately half an hour walk from two beautiful beaches: Anse Georgette and Petit Anse Kerlan. There are several supermarkets nearby as well as the bus stop.
This is just a personal preference, but it would be nice to have AC in the living room as well. Both bedrooms had it, which was amazing, however in the living room was usually too hot to stay for a longer time. Probably most of the people don’t mind it, but we didn’t like presence of lizards in rooms, so net on doors/windows would be good, stopping them from coming in.

Verified reviewThe property has 4 apartments in 2 buildings. The owners are living in one of them. The apartment we stayed in was very clean and very spacious. The owner is super kind and taking a good care of the guests. The location is not in the most touristic side of the island therefore it is quite. Grocery stores are just around and also beautiful beaches are in walking distance.
The apartment is only partially air conditioned, the kitchen ware (ie. pans) could be improved.
Dear Gergo, Thank you for the comment . If you look on the booking .com website ,you will find that the AC is in the bedrooms only. for the kitchen ware I will look into for improvement if needed. Thank you again for staying with us. kind regards Kathleen

Verified reviewWe had such a pleasant stay at Tara Villas, exceptional accommodation and very welcoming host. Kathleen is so nice and kind, the location is comfortable and clean. There is a supermarket and a liquor store just in front of the villa. It is 20 minutes far from the port but driving a car on this island is a pleasure. The room is very clean and daily refreshed, Kathleen is always doing her best for making her guests happy. The property also has enough parking slots.
We liked everything - maybe an adiditional AC in the living room could be installed.

Verified reviewWe had a great time at Casa Tara Villas. The apartment was on the second floor of the house. There is a spacious living room, a nice terrace, a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom to each of the two bedrooms with good water pressure. Pre-arrival communication with hosts Kathleen and Toni was prompt and accurate. They helped with a reservation for Anse Georgette beach as well as a restaurant we had chosen. On site, Tony assisted in the preparation of a barbecue of fish that we bought from local fishermen. The place where the villa is Anse Kerlan, is quiet and peaceful. There is a very well stocked supermarket and liquor store opposite the house which is a great convenience. We had a rent a car which allowed us to go around the island and visit many beaches. The airport is nearby and there is plane traffic during the day, but that didn't bother us. There is a small beach near the house, which is perfect for morning swimming and relaxation. There is no air conditioning in the living room (unlike the two bedrooms), which on a hot day, especially in the afternoon, is a welcome extra, but certainly not something you should worry about. I highly recommend the place!
Thank you Kiril for the lovely comment. I hope to see you all again sometimes. Nice having you as our guests & you are most welcome anytime. Kind regards Kathleen & Tony
