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 reviewDuring our time in La Digue Island Lodge we had it nice and easy. I booked the yello house first, but when we arrived I payed an upgrade for a Bungalow. Breakfast 35 Euros per Person too expensive. Pool nice - never used. Beach nice with pretty sunsets. Beds were always available. We ate every night in the restaurant a la carte. Nice and friendly service. We enjoyed La Digue with the bikes. There is also other options in town. Price and value here is not perfect.
Wlan does not work. Everybody complains in the reviews but nothing is done. Any other place in Mauritius and Seychelles no problem. For the price - this should be a service to your guest.

Verified reviewSpacious bungalow, good location that is close to the harbour and the most famous beaches. Bicycle rentals are available at the hotel.
The price for breakfast is too high (48€ per person and per day), so we decided not to take it. Bicycle rental is per day (not for 24h), so even though we rented the bicycle on the first day from 4pm onwards, we had to pay the full price for that day.

Verified reviewGood location and decent, small breakfast buffet with water views. Could use facilities before check in and after checkout. Seamless transfers included.
Bad smell near dining area - probably from the ocean. Had to call each day for clean towels as room service would take the dirty ones but forget to replace them.

Greggory apartment is outside of the hotel premises (something that was not explained when I did the reservation). You pay an insane amount of money to end up in an old building in terrible conditions.

I booked double room beach house but ordinary room given on 1st floor, light was so dim (only two lamps) even u can’t see yourself in the mirror. I complained about for lighting and electrician visited and admitted the same and as per their words they will repair it tomorrow. I requested for changing of my room as per my booking but staff on reception told me can’t do anything because hotel is full. Why i charged for double room beach house ? I paid 35 euro extra for my 10yr old 2nd child without no extra bedding so same we could managed in double room beach house. Why my room is changed and extra money charged? Totally unhappy and unsatisfied

Verified reviewRooms (bungalows) are situated in a large, beautiful garden. Rooms are spacious and clean, although a bit outdated. It is very peaceful. Each room has its own terrace. Breakfast is at the edge of the ocean with a great view towards Praslin. You can rent bicycles at the hotel. A small supermarket is located opposite the entrance, a larger one just at 5 minutes walking distance. At arrival of the ferry in La Digue free transfer to the hotel is arranged. Same for transport to the ferry once you leave. The swimming pool is quite large and deep (2 meters).
Although hotel confirmed a day before arrival, we could have an early check-in (13:00) the room was not ready and we had to wait for 2 hours. It looked liked hotel is understaffed. Quite some waiting time at reception, even for just getting a beach towel. At breakfast it was a struggle to get coffee and assortment was poorly refilled. The bed was quite hard and not very comfortable.
Dear Rob, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, spacious rooms, and the beautiful ocean views during breakfast. We’re also pleased that our free transfer service and bicycle rentals contributed to your convenience. We apologise for the delays you experienced with early check-in, reception service, and breakfast replenishment. Please note that our standard check-in time is stipulated and advised to guests upon booking and arrival. For guests arriving before check-in, we always recommend enjoying our facilities or exploring the island while their room is being prepared. Your comments about staffing and bed comfort have been shared with our management team to help us improve these areas. We value your feedback and hope to welcome you back in the future for a more seamless and comfortable stay. Kind regards, La Digue Island Lodge team

Verified reviewBeautiful property right on the gorgeous beach.
Only small thing to complain about were the pillows. And WiFi was in and out in our room at the far end of the property. Would still come back to stay again.

Verified reviewFriendly staff. Good amenities. Great location of lodge property, but my accommodation unfortunately was not on the property! (Misrepresented online.)
When I booked online it was not mentioned that my room would be outside the lodge's property, on a busy street, and above a supermarket and pasta restaurant. On checking in after a long international flight, I tried to sleep at 8pm but there was extremely noisy drilling below my room until 11pm. Other guests on my floor also complained. Despite having notified reception, this disturbance continued for several nights during my one week stay. I have video proof. Reception was aware that I was on La Digue specifically to document it as a prime holiday destination, for Instagram, but were not concerned either about my well-being or their reputation it would seem.

Verified reviewGreat location close to the Jetty and L'Union Estate. The beach chalets were great. Outdoor shower and the balcony sun beds were a very nice addition to the room.
The breakfast would benefit from a bit more diversity. It was a decent spread, but it is overpriced for what it is.
