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 hotel facilities are great. The construction and beaches are very nice. The are some free activities near the beach to enjoy. If you request help at the room they are quick to come and the gym has some classes and good machines to workout.
The hotel is overpriced in my opinion. Anything you consume at the hotel is extremely expensive. A 30min massage is almost 200$ for example. The food is not that good. The breakfast has variety but the individual elements are not that good. The worst part about it is that there is nothing nearby and the restauranta don't make an effort to accomodate the guests. They have 5 or 6 restaurants but for more than half our stay they were all full and they wouldn't let us make reservations. If we hadn't rented a car we would have had to eat at Corossol, which is the breakfast restaurant more than 8 times. This made our stay a bit uncomfortable, especially for a hotel where we were paying almost 800$ a night.

Verified reviewThe hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We were warmly welcomed with early check-in and a generous late check-out, despite the hotel operating at 80% occupancy. A special thank you to Clara for her exceptional support and hospitality. The breakfast was a highlight—diverse and delicious, catering to a wide range of international cuisines. I also appreciated the thoughtful setup in the restaurants, offering separate menus for lunch and dinner. Just a heads-up: reservations can get busy, so plan ahead! The hotel features two beaches—North and South. The North beach was livelier, perfect for those who enjoy a vibrant atmosphere, while the South offered a more relaxed vibe. Overall, an amazing experience that exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!
Restaurant reservations were quite competitive—we could only secure spots in 2 out of the 5 restaurants. It would be great if the hotel could reserve some tables specifically for new arrivals to ensure everyone gets a chance to enjoy the à la carte options. While the buffet was available, it didn’t quite match the quality of the restaurant dining experience.
Dear Abdulla, Warmest Greetings from Constance Ephelia Resort, Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review. We are delighted to hear that your stay exceeded expectations and that our team, especially Clara, made such a positive impression. It is great to know that you enjoyed the breakfast variety and the thoughtful setup of our lunch and dinner menus. We are also glad you had the chance to experience both the North and South beaches and appreciated the different vibes each offers. We do take your feedback about restaurant reservations seriously and completely understand how important it is to make the à la carte experience accessible to everyone. Your suggestion about setting aside tables for new arrivals is a thoughtful one, and we will be reviewing how we can improve that process moving forward. Thank you again for your kind recommendation, we truly hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay. Kind regards, Hiru Daryanani Hotel Manager

Verified reviewWe liked the beach, the nature reserve (crabs), the hiking around the reserve, and the japanese dinner we had the first night.
Bike rental with such a large property and for the amount paid, and with such a shortage of buggies going around should be FREE. The staff looked largely unhappy and overworked which doesn't give a good feeling for those visiting. The gym was far too small with such an incredible property - it does not do this beautiful property justice. Also,

Verified reviewEverything's awesome. Really nothing to complain about.
There are 2 things which should be highlighted: 1. There are 2 beaches. However, you can swim only on the Northern one. The Southern is not adapted for swimming by definition (rapid currents and deep waters), even though the hotel advertises it as "we have 2 beaches for you!". Once you arrive they will give you a reason why this beach is temporary (!) unavailable. This time there was jelly-fish. It does not affect your staying, really. Just funny how they use it as a selling point while it is not really one. The Northern beach is awesome :) 2. Staff has island vibes which means that they are not in hurry or really care to do smth from the first try. It is not a problem but sometimes it takes multiple reminders to have smth done.
Dear Anton, Warmest Greetings from Constance Ephelia Resort, Thank you so much for your kind words, we are really happy to hear that overall, you had an awesome stay with us and enjoyed the beauty of the northern beach in particular. We also appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Regarding the two beaches, while we're fortunate to have both, the southern beach can be affected by seasonal natural conditions such as stronger currents or jellyfish. As guest safety is always our top priority, we recommend swimming there only at your own discretion. Regarding your note on service, we appreciate your patience and your understanding of the relaxed island pace. Still, we know how important it is for requests to be followed up promptly, and your feedback is a good reminder for us to stay attentive at every step. Thanks again for your honest review, we hope to welcome you back soon for another beautiful stay. Kind regards, Hiru Daryanani Hotel Manager

Verified reviewLarge resort that felt like an island within an island with lots of facilities like the spa, fitness centre, hiking, padel, tennis and a number of complimentary non motorised water sports.
Service was a bit hit and miss. Beaches are public and on Friday night there was a very loud party just outside our senior suite which went on until very late at night (past midnight) and given we were really exhausted from a full day of travel was very annoying and no one even told us / warned us. When we complained, they just shrugged their shoulders and did absolutely nothing. They also told us to use the Seselwa restaurant which was dedicated for the senior suites and they told us it was better. We tried it for one day and found the selection to be limited and the quality quite poor. We asked for French toast at the egg station and I don’t know what concoction they came up with but it was a slice of toast between two layers of omelette (not sweet at all) and didn’t resemble any French toast I’ve ever had. We used the main buffet restaurant the remaining days which was better in terms of choice. Don’t be fooled! Overall for the price charged, I found the service lacking, the rooms were spacious and clean but the bed was hard. Weather plays a big part in the enjoyment and it was very blustery so we couldn’t snorkel or do any watersports for the 4 days we were there. The pools were also quite small and not much fun. Not sure I would return or recommend this to anyone especially in August.
Dear Siddika, Warmest Greetings from Constance Ephelia Resort, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review. We are glad you enjoyed the variety of facilities at the resort and appreciated the island-within-an-island feel. That said, we are truly sorry that some aspects of your stay fell short especially the disturbance near your suite, the service inconsistencies, and your experience at Seselwa. This is certainly not the standard we strive for, and your feedback has been shared with our teams for immediate attention and improvement. We also understand how disappointing it must have been not to enjoy the water activities due to the weather ,something we unfortunately cannot control, but always try our best to work around. Thank you again for your valuable insights. We hope we will have a chance to offer you a much better experience in the future. Kind regards, Hiru Daryanani Hotel Manager

Verified reviewWe had an amazing stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The location is stunning — we especially loved being in the North Beach area, which we’d definitely suggest for anyone visiting in early July. It was noticeably less windy compared to other parts of the resort, making it perfect for relaxing by the beach. The hotel itself is huge and beautifully designed. We really liked our room — it was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. One of the standout touches was the complimentary water bottles , which were replenished every evening during the turndown service or whenever we called. A small detail, but it made a big difference! The cleaning service was exceptional, and the staff throughout the hotel were just amazing — so friendly, professional, and helpful, without exception. The fitness centre was well-equipped with modern, good-quality equipment. It wasn’t huge, but it was more than enough and never too busy when we went. The spa was also a lovely bonus — relaxing and free to use until late afternoon, which we really appreciated. We ate at several of the restaurants on-site and enjoyed them all, but our favourite was definitely Adam and Eve. We'd recommend booking restaurants in advance before your stay, as some do get fully booked and we were glad we planned ahead. If you're considering your meal options, go for the half board — it’s worth it and definitely saves money in the long run. One practical tip: getting to the city can be expensive without a car. We found the local bus to be a great alternative — it only cost 10 SCR per person each way. Despite what some reviews say, we used it several times and found it to be reliable (maybe 10 minutes off schedule at most). The bus stop is just outside the North Beach gate on the left, and there’s also a small local shop on the right as you exit that same gate — great for snacks or essentials. Overall, we had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay
