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 reviewWhat a gem of a property! The location is perfect and the place is charming. Great location, on the beach and near markets and restaurants. The host is very friendly and helpful. Felt secure and has everything you need.
Thankfully air conditioning in the bedrooms otherwise the house gets toasty during the day.

Verified reviewLocation was superb, staff were excellent they left fruit and lime juice every morning and there was a phone charged and with credit if you wanted to book a taxi or restaurant. Catherine was so helpful giving us restaurant recommendations and places to go. The apartment is right on the beach and you could not ask for better location. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need would definitely recommend.

Verified reviewEverything was amazing: the location - directly on the best part of Beau Vallon beach - is probably one of the best you can find on whole Mahé island. The hosts are amazing and always available to help. The services in the area are super: supermarket, local shop, food options, kiosks to organize excursions, pharmacy, ATM, car rental... you really have everything you need!
Nothing!

Verified reviewHaving the beach as our front garden, it is only steps to the sea from your own terrace. Catherine is a super host and made us very welcome from the moment we arrived. The apartments are incredibly spacious and very well furnished/equipped, from coffee/tea to oil and vinegar. We enjoyed the fresh fruit platter and juice that was provided each morning, a lovely touch.
We liked everything.

Verified reviewThis property has a fabulous location, as you can walk straight out onto Beau Vallon beach, which is great for swimming and snorkelling. It is spacious and very well appointed. We were treated to fresh fruit and a refreshing fruit drink every day. The property is well placed to access a couple of local walks and snorkelling boat trips. There are places to eat nearby, but the kitchen facilities were great and we cooked and ate in every night and enjoyed the wonderful sunsets. The owner is very helpful and made us feel really welcome. I would really recommend this property.

Verified reviewThis is without a doubt the best place to stay in Beau Vallon, right on the beach and a few steps away from good restaurants and dive centre. The apartment designed and decor is relaxed yet refined and honours the location. Charming hosts who brought pastry treats on my birthday!
There is nothing that could be improved upon.

Verified reviewThe location could not have been better. It is right in the water and walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The accommodation itself was clean, beachy minimalist which I loved. Catherine could not have been friendlier and more helpful with tips and good ideas of where to go.
The parking was tight but there is parking a block or two away, if ours was full.

Verified reviewwe have had the most amazing stay here. It is like your very own Beach House on the sand. it is located on the nicest part of Beau Vallon Beach. absolutely loved, looking out of the wide open space at the sea. Catherine was the perfect host. She was so helpful and gave us lots of advice of places we could go. We took a taxi to Bel Ombré and then the nature Trail over to Anse Major and then got the water taxi back, which dropped us right outside of the accommodation. also did the boat trip over to Sainte Anne marine park. lots of places to eat within a short stroll from the accommodation, and we also did takeout pizza from next door and sat and watched the sunset on the Sun chairs. if you have the opportunity to stay here, then jump at it. You will not be disappointed. It is true paradise.
