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 reviewIt was our first time on the Seychelles and le duc de Praislin could‘t be better as our first hotel here. It was absolutely fantastic. Everybody was so friendly, especially Mohammed from Service at restaurant, the room was so nice, the food was so special every day. When I was ill one day, they really were so helpful. The beach is a dream. Everything you need is there. I once booked spa, which also was a really special Experiance. So thanks to the whole team of le duc, you know how to make us feel, like being home away from home. We really can recommend this hotel 100%👍🏼
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Le Duc de Praslin for your first visit to the Seychelles. We're thrilled you had such a fantastic stay and that our team, especially Mohammed, made you feel so welcome. We’re glad you enjoyed the room, the food, the spa, and our beautiful beach – and we truly appreciate your kind mention of the care you received when unwell.

Verified reviewLarge room, very comfortable, great pools, buffet food pretty good overall
Customer service and communication with the hotel was pretty bad overall. The customer service generally detracted from the beautiful rooms and location and lessened our enjoyment on our honeymoon. They also have a policy that 2 people can’t sit at a larger open table. So we were forced to wait at the beach restaurant for lunch when a table for 4 was open. It remained empty for more than 2 hours while we ate and went to the beach in front of it. It would be different if anyone else had been waiting for a table, but no one was.
Thank you for your feedback, and for choosing to spend such a special occasion with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the comfort of your room, the pools, and the buffet selection. However, we’re truly sorry to hear that aspects of our service and communication did not meet your expectations. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Your comments regarding the table policy at the beach restaurant have been noted. While we try to manage seating fairly during peak hours, we fully understand your point. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a much improved experience.

Verified reviewIt’s a beautiful hotel right by the beach, and in terms of appearance and atmosphere, it stands out as one of the best in the area. You can rent activities just in reception. If money not a problem is a nice place to stay
The main downside is the high price, with small but costly details—like the water at dinner—adding up quickly
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We’re delighted you appreciated our beachfront location and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. We understand your concerns about pricing and would like to assure you that we strive to offer excellent value for money compared to many other hotels, while also maintaining the high level of service and quality we aim to provide. As for water at dinner, we do offer complimentary bottled water in the rooms. However, water in the restaurant is chargeable, as we currently do not operate our own bottling facility. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even more enjoyable experience.

Verified reviewRoom was nice, new and clean.
The main hotel area looks nice but the adults only side of the hotel (ocean rooms) looked unfinished and was either concrete or pebbles and not much greenery which was a pity and it doesn’t look nice.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of your room. Regarding the Ocean Room area, we’d like to note that the landscaping there is intentionally kept minimal to preserve the uninterrupted beach views that many of our guests enjoy. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back for an even better experience.

Verified reviewGreat location on the beach as well as 2 swimming pools and a nice beach bar. Comfy beds and big room. The half board dinner was varied and tasty every night.
No water was provided with dinner, you had to purchase it and it was pricey. Breakfast could be improved. Compared to how good the dinner was the breakfast was quite disappointing. Scrambled eggs were runny and tasteless and not many good vegetarian options
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We’ve noted your comments regarding breakfast and have passed them on to the team for improvement. As for the water, please note that we offer complimentary bottled water in the room, while water in the restaurant is chargeable. Very few hotels in Seychelles offer complimentary water during meals, usually only those that operate their own water bottling facilities, which we currently do not. We truly hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for an even more enjoyable experience.

Verified reviewcheck in/check out was very smooth, the staff was great food at. breakfast and dinner also very good, limited options for kids booked the 360 villa and it was amazing in terms of views and facilities the beach is nice and quiet, anse lazio is 15 mins away by car
the road to the villa is very narrow and steep so be prepared, especially if you drive on right side of the road the water pressure was very poor, there were 4 baths but you could not realistically use more than 1 at once food at the cafe des arts was kinda meh for our european tastes

Verified reviewThe honeymoon suite is located very close to the beach, with an outdoor shower. It had a walled patio at the entrance with gate, so it felt very private. The room was welcoming and well equipped with a ceiling fan and air conditioning. Great big bathtub and shower. Great dining experience with lots of different choices both at breakfast and dinner. The hotel is around the corner from a small village and has its own beach bar and restaurant right on the ocean. And in the afternoon when you have had enough sun, the swimming pool is perfectly shaded. The spa has a great selection of treatments and professional staff. The reception staff was welcoming and always ready to assist.

Verified reviewI never post a bad review, but this experience was seriously bad. The staff at the beach bar/restaurant were absolutely awful, constantly tried their best not to be helpful. I have traveled a bit but never experienced anything like this. Beach bar facilities were dirty and staff again argumentative instead of trying to help. The hotel is ok, clean and grounds are nice although not 5*. But the beach access is not direct but through beach bar which ruins it. Animals in cages also not great but some people might like that.
We hope to welcome you back for a much better experience. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that perspectives and preferences can vary, and we regret that the concept and experience did not resonate with you.

Verified reviewThe general impression of whole facility is very, very nice. The position is very well, because from there you can make short trips everywhere, and the main attractions are very near. Food was very good and each day different. Staff was very kind and helpful in any situation and moment. Our son was attacked by stingray on the beach, and without asking or calling anyone the car was in the same moment on our disposal and we where in ambulance in 10 minutes. The room was very clean and was supplied with fresh water, new towels, etc. every day. Houses with restaurant are situated in beautiful garden, maintained on daily base. Pools are also nice and well maintained.
Beach is not so well, but if you like to see other attractions and beaches, again, the hotel has an excellent position, and we will come back. Other thing are mosquitoes. They are everywhere on the island, and this is a general issue. In shops is possible to find different types of repelents, but is impossible to by the plug-in electric oil devices, which are very efficient, especially during the night.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the location, food, and hospitality, and we’re especially glad that our team could assist quickly during your son's incident. Regarding the beach, we appreciate your understanding and are happy to hear that you made the most of exploring other beautiful spots.

The villa was a 5-minute drive from the hotel, which I didn’t fully realize when booking. But the car rental was included in the price, and you could use it to explore the island, which was a really nice touch!
