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.).

BelgiumBed had saggy mattress They give a bottle of water on the first day of your stay but the water machine (condense from air) was ALWAYS empty. 1 machine for the entire hotel is clearly not enough. They sell it as 'green' as you reuse the plastic but it was just to make money as most people kept buying more plastic. Stingy

FranceThe Manager with big ears was just terrible. When I raised the issue with the internet, he said if we do not like something - "I do not mind if you leave". Absolutely unacceptable attitude. I wanted to put a 1 but the property and the other staff do not deserve this.
The villa was amazing. sea view, build and decorated with taste with a lot of space and a private pool. We really enjoyed the time there between our island exploration trips. Praslin is also a good place for a day trip to La Digue. The employees were nice and helpful (except see below).

United Arab EmiratesNot maintained property and not worth the ratings on booking.com - they made us wait for two hours to get our room. When we finally got our family room, noticed that sewage smell from bathroom was coming. When I complained, the manager of the property moved us to a smaller room for 1 night and upgraded us to half board package. The next day when another family room was available, they moved us to that room - property basically do not have an access to the beach, there was no shore, not sure if that’s the case always or due to high tide - me and my daughter got hurt in the swimming pool because of the strange steps they made in the pool. There are three steps to the pool, which is inside the water. However the third step has different measurements compared to other two steps. Also it has sharp tile edges. We were bleeding badly because of such unscientific pool they made - baby pool was very dirty, it’s not clean and we could see lot of dead bugs and dirt

SwitzerlandWhile the internet speed could be slightly faster, considering the hotel's unique location on a small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, it remains remarkably acceptable.
We had a wonderful stay at the Castello Beach Hotel on Praslin. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a lovely view of the ocean. The hotel also had a great pool, a restaurant, and offers massages, which we enjoyed very much. The location was perfect, close to the beach and the nature. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway on Praslin. We would definitely come back again.

QatarThe decor of the interior. But that’s not a big deal really.
The property is located in a beautiful setting and has a stunning view of the sunset. The staff are incredibly polite and welcoming and tend to all your needs without a fuss and very quickly. The decor is outdated in the rooms but we can see pat this and see the charm of this beautiful little hotel. We ate at the hotel restaurant each night and the food was exceptional! Best we’ve had in all the 11 days we stayed in the Seychelles. This is a must stay in Praslin!

United KingdomThe hotel needs improvements and restoration as it’s outdated. Not a 4* but rather 3*, if I was aware maybe I wouldn’t be disappointed. The mattress was dent and we were asking for it to be changed but nothing happened, on the last day after another reminder there was some extra duvet added, which didn’t help much. I had an issue with a breakfast staff as they refused to give me a bigger glass for water as I needed to take my medication, they said small glass is enough… when complained I was told that the staff is not trained and later been offered a dinner which was a good gesture but still- if staff is not well trained shouldn’t serve the guests. Overally food needs improvement.
The room were spacious, the property is located by the beach so the view is nice. The hotel has potential if they improve.

United Arab EmiratesI can't recall anything i could mention here
Beautiful scenery. Full of greenery and romantic atmosphere in the hotel. The restaurant is very stunning with a mesmerizing view. Food selection is wide and delicious. My absolute favorite was the buffet breakfasts where they even had some special fruits (red guava) served from Brazil. I enjoyed spending time by the ocean in the liltle corner sitting areas which was perfect for grounding and meditational experience. There are quite a few private sunbeds where one can enjoy every bit of their vacation. I would like to also highlight the beautiful scenery of the resort and attention to details which creates a very unique environment such as the massage hut by the ocean which is partly outdoor. Very special. I really liked the outdoor design and greenery of nature everywhere. Natual and authentic design makes Castello a very outstanding vacation location. Our room was very special and beautiful too. Really enjoyed our scenery from the balcony. If you love kittens one can easily make some new friends too. Regarding the staff Neil will make sure one have their best welcome they could. He is very outstanding with regards to his customer experience and excellence. We are very grateful for all his generous help and kind support throughout our stay.
