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.).

Sophia is a lovely host, she goes above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. The location is great if you want to go to the beach or explore the entire island, plus the view from the balcony is so beautiful.

Verified reviewThe apartments are spacious and functional. The balcony is lovely with amazing views - with fruit bats flying nearby. Sophia is a wonderful host - always smiling and ready to assist. The location is perfect to explore South Mahe and the West coast - which in my view are the best parts of the island.
The access road is a bit steep.

Verified reviewI had an absolutely wonderful stay at Le Ronce Villa in Seychelles! The apartment design is perfect – spacious, beautifully laid out, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the rooms are incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful stay. The terrace was one of my favorite features, providing a serene and relaxing space to enjoy the surroundings. I loved everything about this accommodation, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a perfect getaway in Seychelles!
One thing to note is that the villa is located on a hill, so having a good car is important for getting around easily, and I would recommend an automatic car for the best experience. Overall, it was a wonderful

Verified reviewI stayed at Le Ronce Villa for the second time. First time was in 2019 and I was very satisfied stayed at this property. Now was my second time and it was perfect stay again, in every aspects. Apartment was super clean, well equiped with all amenities you need. Also the host, Sophia, is very helpful person and do not hesitate to ask her about the hints regarding restaurants, take aways and other useful informations. She will explain you everything you should know about island and Anse Royale. I would like to say thanks a lot for everything she helped us. Mahe is beautiful island, as well Praslin and La Digue. For Mahe and Praslin I recommend to hire a car.

Verified reviewChose Anse Royale as one of the best locations on the island... We weren't disappointed! Sophia is a fantastic host. Very organised. Supplied a hairdryer when we thought the appt had one. Then left us coconuts and papaya during the week. Always on hand for our queries. Apartment is huge! Yes, really. Dozens of power sockets and the unexpected bonus of a washing machine. Generally superbly equipped. Made life very easy. Lovely views down to the sea.. But We only used a car one day so walked up the hill back to the apartment every day from the beach. It's about 25 minutes on the flat from the best (Northern) shady end of Anse Royale beach, followed by 5 minutes of hard slog up a 25% gradient to get to the apartment . We managed it all 10 days and we are in our 60's and no longer stream lined! Absolutely recommended. Everything I hoped the Seychelles would provide came to fruition in this idyllic location.
Be wary of weekend "festivals" on the beach as it can get very busy. During the week there's plenty of space and in some instances we were one of only 3 or 4 couples on our bit of beach.

Verified reviewThe property was one of the best during our stay in the Seychelles. It was well equipped with all appliances we needed (washing machine, kitchen etc.) The view was spectacular from the balcony and Sophia is the most amazing host that you can wish for.
There was nothing we didn't like, but the location is a bit uncomfortable. Very steep hill to go up to before you reach the accommodation, we didn't mind it but if you are not in a good condition you will probably struggle 🙂 Another tip is to bring an extra power converter if you need it. Unfortunately ours stopped working during the trip and it was hard to find one. Nothing to do with the accommodation though, maybe that's something that could be an additional equipment in the accommodation.
Hi Anna, thank you for your review, it was a pleasure hosting you. I am sad that you didn't ask for assistance when you needed it, I hope next time you will feel comfortable to ask for help. I always try to help when and where I can. also note that we do provide multi adapter for the electrical devices but some clients tend to take them and say it's theirs. it's a sad fact. i do try my best to replace them though. and yes the hill can be a little steep and challenging if you have a walking difficulty but apart from that the car park is just in front of the apartment to facilitate things. kind regards Sophia

Verified reviewComfortable bed, spacious apartment. All amenities needed. Best scenery view one gets on the island. Safe neighbourhood under supervision of a kestrel (local bird) that visits the balcony. Actually that was the only place I saw it, appears to be of a shy species. Can watch the nature and its habitat from a beautiful balcony. In fact all view from all windows was amazing. Moderate walking distance to the beach and touristic destinations. Best beaches nearby. Especially one beach with parking, gives exclusive opportunity to snorkel starting directly from the beach. Very satisfied staying 2,5 weeks. Cheerful, considerate and helpful host Sophia is available for you whenever any questions might arise or if any guidance is needed.
There is a slope from the villa which requires to be a little cautious of the rare traffic. Well, Mahe is full of hills so seems to be something one should get used to almost wherever on the island.

Verified reviewA huge, spacious, and bright appartment. It was clean and beautifull. Love the view. Its a bit out of the way but if you have a car its not a problem at all. Sophia was helpfull and a wonderfull host. She sent loads of usfull recomendations on where to eat and what to see. And she went out of her way to prepare the flat for our 2 year old. (Baby cot, baby bath, plastic glass...) prefect for a family!
As others have wrote its up a steep hill. So without a car it would be inconvinient to walk the hill every day. But for us that was not the case.
Hi Luka, thank you for your review, it was a pleasure to host your little family 😊, as nature lovers I'm sure you didn't find the hill as a challenge. after all without that steep hill we wouldn't have such a wonderful view 😊, have fun exploring the world. kind regards Sophia ☺️

Verified reviewIt was an amazing experience. Sophia is super nice and hostile. The whole stay was lovely and it would be a memorable time for us.
The place is a bit far from the village center, so it is highly recommended to rent a car. Even going to the beach will take you about 15 min walk. When it's hot, it's really difficult.
