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 reviewThe property is beautiful. The garden is amazing with a variety of flowers and fruits. The manager helped book a snorkelling tour for us and also arranged bikes for us. It was excellent. We will want to go back for a longer time.

Verified reviewStephan the host is very nice and gives good tips on what to do when in la digue. The cocotier is located in a nicely cared for garden and you can order breakfast with fruits right from there.
Intérieur is a little antiqued

Verified reviewWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villa which is well located and really well equipped on the beautiful island of La Digue. Communication with the manager was really smooth and he went out of his way to arrange ferry port transfers and cycles for our stay (as that’s the best way to commute on this small island). He also accommodated to keep our luggage as our ferry was at a later time, and provided shower to wash and change even after we had vacated the room! He helped us with navigation tips when we reached which really helped us cover a lot of things in our short stay. Would totally recommend this to anyone who wishes to visit the island. We also had an unfortunate incident when our bike broke down. But we communicated with the host and our bike was replaced smoothly. Thank you so much for that!! The breakfast was also extremely delicious and freshly made. Extremely helpful host and special mention to the manager who really made our trip easy and comfortable.
The shower area was pretty small and the bathroom had no amenities.

Verified reviewStaff, cleanliness, outdoor shower.
The mattresses and pillows are very uncomfortable, and the bicycles are old and of poor quality. The air conditioner is very noisy and does not cool enough. The trestle beds on the terrace are extremely inconvenient, and it is almost impossible to use them.

Verified reviewThe property is excellent. It was my second time and you can’t beat their garden. It is truly a paradise in paradise. Staff is wonderful too. Stefan and Isabel are very available and ready to help with any request. A special shout out to the outdoor showers! Absolutely amazing to shower is an Eden garden.
The only disadvantage of the property is that it is quite far from the beaches but if you ride a bike, it’s perfectly fine.

Verified review- Great and helpful staff - Beautiful Garden - greenery
- So many cats around the house - making things dirty - no real windows, so you have to accept a joungle experience - Cockroach or others might enter any time in the setup, just to make you aware - mattress old - The whole experience is acceptable but the price is not right, should be at least 50€ less

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay—from Isabel’s helpful messages before we arrived, full of great tips and information, to the natural beauty of the place, how clean everything was, and how kind the staff were. Stephan was especially amazing, always going the extra mile to make sure we had what we needed. He also helped us book a couple of tours, which turned out great. It’s a place that really stayed with us, and we hope we’ll have the chance to come back one day.
Everything was great

Verified reviewVery nice place. The best thing of the Villa was its location. It is really close to the Southern part where the best beaches are. So when choosing have this in mind. Host was helpful especially before coming. They support us with instructions how to get visas and to prepare things for our coming. The place is located among a lot of trees so you don't feel the heat so much.
There was construction work in the next door property, and 2 of the mornings I was waked up by a hammer. But I believe this is not all the time.

Verified reviewStephan is a great manager and a wonderful person; he greeted us with refreshing towels and beverages after a long journey. He accommodated all our requests and made us feel at home. Not to mention he sat down with us and provided a virtual tour of the island and of the attractions. I would definitely visit the accommodation again and I strongly recommend it.

Verified reviewWe loved staying at Cocotier. We chose the bungalow with patio and loved sitting in the patio looking at the beautiful garden (wearing mosquito repellent). The bed was big and comfortable, the room and bathroom very spacious. Stephan, the manager, is very friendly and helpful. He welcomed us with cold wet towels and coconut water on the first day and explained what to see and where to eat in La Digue. Breakfast is great and is served on the beautiful patio. We felt at home and were sad to go. If we ever return to La Digue we will definitely stay at Cocotier!
We loved everything. The location is perfectly fine if you rent bikes (which is a lovely way to visit the island), otherwise a 20min walk from the main area. With bikes it's perfect!

Verified reviewThe location was a not far from the major attractions. Every place on the island is reachable by bicycle. The staff were very helpful. Mr.Stefen, the Manager was very friendly and went a long way to help me bring back the punctured bike back to the property on his own.
Rooms are small for the price.

Verified reviewVery clean and lovely little cottage surrounded by a lush tropical garden which provides privacy for the guests. Nice terrace for dining and relaxing, too. Excellent staff - all information was provided efficiently and on time, staff was very kind and helpful (shoutout to Stephan!). Location is excellent, easy to discover the island with a bike (we rented them from the property). Absolutely loved it and would definitely come back here for the peace, quiet and zen atmosphere...and stay longer than this time!
As some other guests have already indicated, shower gel would be nice, as well as cooking oil in the kitchen - but these are minor things.

Verified reviewWe had an excellent time at Cocotier Du Rocher. The villa was beautiful, well-equipped, and conveniently located. The manager Stephan incredibly helpful. He helped us to print out out ferry tickets, as well as did our laundry for us twice, returning it early the next morning. He also responded to our WhatsApp messages within two minutes, and was always friendly and informative.
Two minor points: -- one evening there was no hot water in the shower (don't know if it was a fluke or happens regularly) -- there was no AC in the kitchen
