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 perched on a hill and has wonderful views from all the rooms. Bathrooms are modern and the showers are very nice. The kitchen is well equipped. On arrival we were met by the hosts who explained all we needed to know about the island and showed us everything on a map. And there was a welcome drink.
Although the sea views are gorgeous, if you walk to the nearest beach, you wouldn't like it because it is right on the road and cars are passing by. The beach practically disappears when there is tide, so to go to a really nice beach, you have to drive a little. It's not a problem if you have a car, but it's something that you have to keep in mind. You are not right on the beach and the 10 minute walk to the beach does not take you to a beach where you want to spend time. The other thing is just something that occurred to us. We rented the property for three nights, but our flight was delayed and we were rerouted, so we arrived one full day later and lost one day. However, we were charged for the whole three nights. You could say that us arriving late wasn't the host's fault, which is very true. But considering that we were not there, did not use the electricity, did not use water and did not require any attention during one third of what we paid for, it would be a nice gesture to at least get some discount for that one day. I personally would certainly do it, if I were the host. I raised this with booking, com later having thought about it a little, but the host ignored the message that booking sent to them and that left me with an aftertaste. Of course people rent out places because they want the money, but there should also be a little more understanding that it's not all about the money. And again, I am not saying do not charge for the missed night. I am saying, at least a small discount for what we didn't use would be a nice gesture especially since the payment has to be maid in cash, which is an inconvenience nowadays.

Verified reviewHighly recommend La Vida as a great place to stay to explore the south of the island. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. Many people had mentioned the hill but even the kids said it was an easy walk from the beach or from Greenhouse restaurant which we really enjoyed. Great beaches are just a short drive away but we didn't mind the beach at the bottom of the hill... it had a great local vibe on the weekend and was perfect if you didn't want to drive after a few sundowners.

Verified reviewIf you like to relax with your family, like to meet the dawn over the ocean, listen to the birds of paradise singing in the morning, then you are here! Kind and attentive Alfred and his caring wife will meet you at La Vida. Very stylish and modern accessories. You will be captivated by the bright tropical spirit mixed with the aromas of India. Convenient location within walking distance from the ocean with a comfortable sandy beach and a wide calm lagoon. Our family really liked it there. If there were any questions, Alfred promptly solved them. The rest turned into a delightful pastime.

Verified reviewThe apartment is beautiful and spacious, the view from of the balcony is stunning. There is AC (and fans) in every bedroom, large well-equipped kitchen, a free laundry room, and a good WiFi. Everything was clean and very convenient! The host was very helpful. He met us on arrival, gave a tour of the property, kept our luggage for several hours after check-out, and ordered us a taxi. It was a great experience! Keep in mind that the property is somewhat uphill, so be prepared to climb up for a few minutes.
Nothing comes to mind.

Verified reviewWe were absolutely reeling comfortably. It was a very nice hospitality. We felt very comfortable with the family. We were warmly welcomed and introduced to the place; the view was really cool. Very unique decorated and cozy rustikal atmosphere.
Only Awareness for family’s with young kids the way to the appartment is a steep walk of 5+ minutes so it is not super convenient walking wise but if you anyway have a car to travel not a problem at all

Verified reviewThe pictures reflect the reality. The guest house is newly built and the interior is quite new as well. Great value for money! We had planned most of our activities in advance, but the charming hosts helped us with the transfer from the airport upon arrival. Marte and Alfred can give good tips and offer a solution to most of the challenges one might have during their stay. The people of that wonderful country are very friendly and relaxed, but if there is an obstacle you should consider calling a friend for solving the issue. Renting a car is probably the most reasonable choice. We choose to hire the same driver that took us from the airport for that purpose. The nice and clean car, combined with the careful driving made our trips a real joy.
