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.).

OmanWiFi a bit patchy but manageable. Nothing else really - I enjoyed this place best of the three places we stayed in the Seychelles.
Beautiful colonial style property with lovely rooms that had a balcony - definitely go for a sea view room though! Nice breakfast included - served. Nice pool and right on the beach, so it's easy to walk to places. Also a couple of supermarkets just a few mins walk away, which was convenient.

IndiaA little more options for breakfast would have been perfect. But we did get eggs toast juice fruit pancake and sausages so cannot complain.
The construct of the place is like a historical villa. Amazing interiors with a grand staircase that gives a royal look to the place. The location is right on the beach and also walkable to the main road of beau vallon with all the shops and restaurants. Chobi the caretaker and Peter the manager were very helpful and made our stay very comfortable. We were served an alcoholic welcome drink which was a first for me. Budget wise place was not very expensive compared to the hotels but more than the self catering apartments.

GermanyUnfortunately the building is not taking care of. Our bed was falling apart and was really soft. A new mattress would be great. For a five star rating the amenities in the bathroom were really cheap and there was almost no water pressure in the shower so that the rain shower was useless. This place could be such a perfect place if someone would renovate it with passion. Everything is just a bit outdated and outworn. The AC in the middle of the room was really loud at night so that we couldn’t sleep.
The building from the outside and the location right next to the beach are perfect. It is a perfect place for sundowns. The pool is huge and the view from the terrace is also really nice. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They offered us a nice taxi driver and contact for car rental with delivery at the hotel.

PolandThe atmosphere of this place is unique. A beautiful colonial-style villa with a swimming pool, right on the beach. Surrounded by greenery, the sound of the ocean and several good restaurants along the beach. We recommend ordering dinner at the hotel, Chhabie makes wonderful dishes. You can rent a car on site.

DenmarkAs mentioned – some of the furniture in the room is somewhat old. So is bathroom (with a very noisy fan).
This place feels like visiting your family summer house. It feels so cozy and home-like that you can easily accept its sometimes old furniture or bathroom. The breakfast was very basic (eggs, yogurt and vegetables). Rooms were cleaned. AC was working properly. Location is outstanding. The garden opens into the ocean, you may walk there barefooted before breakfast. Water and the beach are superb.

The villa was charming. It was the only one of its kind in the area and many tourists walking along the beach stopped to take pictures of it. The feeling of the 30s of the 20th century - with old but very well saved furniture, old photographs, interior items. Good size, clean pool. Great breakfast. Very pleasant villa owner. We had a late flight and were kindly allowed to stay in the villa territory until the evening. We had a very pleasant stay at this villa and if we ever come back to Mahe, Seychelles, we will definitely choose this beautiful place!
