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 reviewWe had an amazing time at Villa Face Mer! The place was super clean, well-organized, and felt really welcoming. We stayed on the ground floor in a spacious apartment with two big bedrooms, a comfy living room, and a kitchen that had everything we needed to cook. The best part? A beautiful ocean view right in front of us from the balcony! Arnaud was a fantastic host—friendly, helpful, and always ready with great tips and info. We also loved the little garden next to the villa with turtles, and the terrace view was just stunning. The apartment had all the comforts—AC, Wi-Fi, washing machine, and even provided beach and bath towels, plus shower gel and shampoo. Honestly, everything was perfect, even better than the photos online. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

Verified reviewThe host, Mr Arnaud goes far and beyond to make the stay at Villa Face Mer memorable and comfortable. We've had perfect communication via whatsapp and on the phone and all our requests at a very late notice have been met - starting from the car rental arrangement at the ferry terminal, through valuable hints and suggestions regarding the restaurants and trips. We've had the restaurant booked at fabulous Les Lauriers at Cote d'Or, the trip booked to la Curieuse island only without snorkelling as we wished. We can't be more thankful for making our 2 days on Praslin more than perfect. Accomodation is spacious, very well equipped - coffee maker saved us on arrival, comfortable bedrooms each with its individual immaculately clean bathroom. The balcony is well furnished with a beautifull view at the ocean and La Curieuse island. We shall definitely comeback for a bit longer.
The stay which was far too short.

Verified reviewArnaud was a good Host, very informative about the island and the surroundings. He organized a rental car for us, which went super smooth. The apartment itself is well equipped and has balcony with an amazing sea view. The road that runs right under the balcony is only used during the day, and did not bother us at all.

Verified reviewGreat place to stay to discover the best of Praslin. Close to Anse Lazio and departure point for Curieuse day trips. Car hire is recommended, something the owner can perfectly advise on. Would have liked to stay longer (than 5 nights)!

Verified reviewBeautiful property, right on the beach. One of the best views on the island and for a fraction of the price of the expensive hotels. Nothing on Praslin is reasonably priced so it is still expensive but we were only 2pax, recommend the take-away to eat which is close-by, restaurants are ridiculously expensive, Black Parrots and Flying Foxes in the mango tree outside!
More basic amenities could have been provided such as cooking oil, coffee/tea, salt and pepper.

Verified reviewWe stayed as a group of 4 for 4 nights in one of the first floor apartments. The apartment was really lovely and had everything one would need for a self catering stay. The beds were very comfortable and it was possible to park close by. The views over the bay are stunning, especially in the evenings. A hire car is a must to get to the beautiful beaches in the area. Arnaud was so helpful and kind to us, he is an exceptional host. We would love to come back one day!
