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.).

AustraliaLeaving.
The staff in particular were very helpful - the bar staff at both the poolside bar and staff at the associated Cafe Kreol across the road - special shout out to Balkan, Theniba Alston and Angelo. The grilled octopus and prawn/papaya salads a highlight. The local rum and cocktails were also good. The day trip by taxi around the north end of Mahe was a highlight.

South AfricaThe room had a musty smell upon arrival, but it improved after the first night. Unfortunately, some guests reserved pool loungers by leaving towels on them all morning, which was inconsiderate to others. Lack of basic bathroom amenities like a shower cap and vanity kit.
The property is conveniently located near public transportation, offering easy access to explore the area. The staff were attentive and genuinely engaged. Dinner options varied each night, including a buffet, a set menu, and à la carte choices with starter, main, and dessert. The 24-hour reception made our early morning check-out smooth and hassle-free.

United KingdomFrom the moment we arrived, our experience at Laila was nothing short of exceptional. The staff greeted us with genuine warmth and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Check-in was seamless, and we were offered a complimentary welcome drink while our luggage was brought to the room. Our room was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and offered stunning views of the city/mountains . The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the attention to detail—from plush towels to high-end toiletries—made it feel truly luxurious. The amenities were top-notch. We especially loved the pool, which was clean, well-maintained, and never too crowded. Dining at the hotel’s restaurant was another highlight—delicious cuisine, attentive service, and an ambiance perfect for a relaxed evening. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the service. Every team member we encountered was friendly, professional, and eager to help. Whether it was assisting with local recommendations, arranging transportation, or simply checking in to see if we needed anything, the service was flawless. We’ve stayed in many hotels, but Laila stands out as one of the best. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and luxurious stay.

QatarI don’t know about the high season, bc I went there in May, but for a hotel like Laïla the breakfast needs to have fresh fruit juice, canned Greek yogurt, daily (daily cut) fresh fruits, homemade cake, keeping nuts fresh maybe inside a smaller container. It’s a good breakfast but can be better.
Amazing and well decorated hotel. The facilities were also great, very comfortable bedrooms, happy hour with jazz and an incredible well trained staff. Restaurant’s menu is very tasty. Try chicken with curry and coconut. My special tks to Rusheen, Debbie, Themba, Erica, Alston my other from the breakfast staff. At Kreole Cafe, Shah.

The atmosphere is peaceful, and the location is perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful in helping my wife with vegan dietary needs.

United KingdomVery poor breakfast for 4 star hotel and the same every day. Also the staff in the restaurant wasn't very good and and one lady (tall young lady with brown hair) from the reception team were not very helpful. She didn’t pay attention to my questions and ignored me for five minutes in the middle of our conversation, so I had to stay and wait for her attention. I also asked her to speak with her manager, about my request, but nobody contacted me afterward.She probably ignore that as well.
It was a lovely hotel, the room was perfect size for family and very close to the beach. They give us a very early check-in which was amazing after a long flight

CroatiaPrices at the beach restaurant are a bit too high.
Welcoming staff, clean hotel, very modern, they paid attention on every detail. Breakfast was with a lot of choices. On the second floor is a beautiful lounge area (with tea/coffee and cake time 4-5 PM), gym and area for kids to play, fun zone with table football and some fun things for them). Restaurant at the beach is awesome, great food and service, beach chairs, we only didn't like the cocktails there. Beach is great for swimming and it's 5 mins walk to Anse Royale which gets overcrowded so we preferred to stay at the beach bar area. You need to be careful not to be under the coconut tree in general, on the Anse Royale you don't have much space to put your towel unless under the coconut tree, and I saw coconut falling many times. Area next to the hotel is safe and people are friendly. Gas station and supermarket are next to the hotel, easy road to get to the hotel from Victoria, you can take a bus/car/taxi. We rented a car to be more flexible.
