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.).

IndiaEverything's perfect.
An exceptionally tranquil setting, breathtaking views, wonderful hosts, and a delightful experience. We cherished every moment of our stay here and are eagerly anticipating our return for future visits. Strongly recommended. Note that if you plan to rent a car, sufficient driving experience is necessary as the villa is situated atop a steep hill.

United KingdomI will say we did not expect the very steep hill just before the flat!
Lovely apartment with a great view to the Anse Royale bay/beach below. It was helpful to have a private car parking area for our hire car. It was a 2-3 min drive to a nice spot on the Anse Royale beach.

IrelandMaybe the room walls could do with a freshening up with a bit of paint, but I'm just being picky. This place is very nice.
Fantastic place in Anse Royal. Situated in a small town but they have all the essential shops and few nice restaurants nearby, there is a hospital and police station there too. Honestly probably the best town to stay on Mahe island as its close to the best beaches and nice restaurants. The beach is just down the hill, albeit it is a steep hill but if you have a car it's no issue at all. The apartment is equipped very well and has air con in the bedroom. The host is nice and welcoming, place gets cleaned properly every second day including fresh towels and bed sheets, what more can you want, the sea view is amazing. I would go for the deluxe apartment next time as its on the second/top floor and a bit more private and the view is better, but they are all the same in terms of equipment etc. Great place and I would stay here again, unbelievable value for money.

SeychellesNot a negative but you need a car to get there. Steep hill drive so you must be careful. Air conditioning was a bit weak for the entire house. It was hot so we asked for a fan when sitting in the living area. The bedroom was cool enough with time. -A suggestion would be to have a knife sharpener in the kitchen for those who like to cut up meat and veg.
Perfect getaway with gorgeous sea view. Has everything one may need to prepare meals.. Has a washer too. Hot water and wifi was not a problem

GermanyThe location high above Anse Royale leads to a steep climb if you do not have a car but this is good for fitness and nothing that the location can do about. Just be prepared for the uphill move
Perfectly located above Anse Royale, spacious apartment, full kitchen and air conditioned sleeping room which was absolutely necessary during our stay. Wonderful view.

MaltaNothing. I liked everything
Large, luminous and perfectly clean and well-equipped apartment. The views of the bay are stunning. Very warm reception, everything works well and it is a very comfortable place to stay. If you do not have a car, as me, prepare to walk up a steep, but short, street from the beach. It takes 5 minutes do walk down and a bit more up :) Supermarkets are at a 10 minute walk, as well take away places.

United KingdomVery steep road up to apartment so you need to be a confident driver or fit! Although not a negative comment on the apartment, having your own transport to explore the surrounding area would be beneficial.
View was fantastic. Having a washing machine to rinse out towels and swimwear was really useful. Being close to Anse Royale beach is ideal.

GermanySome basic things were missing in the kitchen (salt, a proper sized cooking pot/pan) and communication via Booking.com wasn't always the easiest but apart from that, everything was fine.
Nice apartment with a superb view over the bay of Anse Royale. The steep road is easily done by foot from the main road and takes about 4mins up and 3mins down by fit walkers. The apartment was clean, very spacious and well furnished with high quality interior. The surroundings are quiet, nice and green. Bus stop, supermarkets and beach are all within a 5-10min walk.

IndiaThe steep slope leading to the place is tiring and treacherous. It's not good for a walk to the beach. The only alternative is to rent a car as the public transport isn't always enough considering the weather and the steep climb.
The host was warm and very helpful. The view from the balcony was spectacular. The place had all the amenities required for cooking and also had laundry facilities. The location is close to the beach and supermarket, bank and restaurants close to the downtown.

SloveniaThe only thing that bothered us were ants and we really had to watch out that we didn't leave a single crumb in the kitchen.
The apartment was spacious and with a beautiful sea view. Location is great to move around the island. The bed was comfortable, but there’s only AC in the bedroom. There’s also a washing machine for doing laundry, which was very welcoming.
