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.).

Added to this is the location, with a magnificente terrace where you can look out over the ocean.

Verified reviewThe Villa location grants amazing view from the hill top. The big taras was our main morning and evening routine. It has a steep climb, but that's understandable, a car is advised. The Villa is spacey, very clean and has all what's needed for self catering purpose. Last but not least, Angelle is a very kind and welcoming host, extremely helpful and very responsive. I totally recommend the place!

Verified reviewAngelle, the host was super nice. The view.
There were a lot of genkos in our bedroom and bathroom and it was horrible for us. We told Angelle and she said she couldn’t do anything. There were little depositions all over the bedroom and the bathroom from the genkos. We didn’t have this problem in the other hotels we stayed in Seychelles.

Verified reviewBeautiful property with an absolutely amazing view! It was well located just up the hill from a bar, restaurants, grocery store, bus stops and the beach. It was a really beautiful area. The accommodation was clean and with good functioning air con. The host Angelle was so friendly and helpful in regards to car rental, transport and gave a really well put together list of recommendations.
Nothing for myself. Only that if you are elderly or have mobility issues getting up the hill could be tough if you don’t rent a car

Verified reviewThe Villa Lima is super place to stay on Mahe island. It's easy to find and from it you can go to all the sides of island. It was very comfortable to stay there. Villa was fully equipped with every you might need. Cleaning was every few days. Angelle, the owner, is super nice, friendly and helpful. She predicts all you might need. She helped us with ideas where to go and what to do. Angelle thanks a lot, if you read it)
The only small remark is about the window in sleeping room, it was little bit making sound during strong wind and rain. We fixed it with piece of paper)
Dear Olga Thank you for the lovely reviews. It was my pleasure to host you both. I am happy to read that you enjoyed your stay and I am so sorry to read about the shaking windows. We had very strong winds this season and we will do our best to rectify this problem. I hope to see you again in future. Many thanks Angelle

Verified reviewThe view is spectacular. Definitely recommend to rent a car which you can arrange with Angelle. We had it form the airport. Driving around in seychelles can take time to get used to so going up the hill in the car is definitely a ride. All in all, the house was spacious. Many nights we stayed and cooked, we had all we need. There was a grocery before going up the hill. We stayed with a 2 year old and the crib was very helpful. I appreciated the free fruits as well. Thank you!

Verified reviewThe villa is well equipped for comfortable stay like at own home. It’s located at very good spot: stunning view on the ocean and green planted hill. It’s pretty hard to get from coast to villa by walk, without car because of hill but it worth it! The view, fresh air with breeze from ocean. Exceptional accommodation. I’d like to notice another pretty side of location: because of hill the wind banishes annoying insects like mosquitoes, flies. So nights were calming and relaxing even without repelentes and air conditioning (there is a good a/c in the bedroom, but we used it only through the first night to acclimatize). Just under the hill there are shops, rum distillery, not so far craft village and a few beaches with calm waves. We traveled with baby infant so at the villa were us awaiting a crib and baby feeding chair. Special thanks and greeting to the owner of villa - Angelle. She welcomed us very friendly with warmth and care as we were closest friends without any annoying or obsession. It was really pleasant. She organized a comfortable service with transfer from airport and provided a rent car. The car was ready and stayed near the house! Only good impressions
Dear Anastasiia Thank you for the great review I am happy to read that you felt at home at Villa Lima and that you enjoyed your stay. I surely hope to see you again in future. Kisses to baby Ian Kind regards Angelle

Verified reviewThis is a beautiful property located on the East Coast of Mahé. It’s a little tricky to get there as you need to drive through a narrow uphill road, but it’s totally worth it! Angelle absolutely lives up to her name! 😊She is so attentive and always there to help you with everything. We will definitely stay there if we get a chance to visit Mahé again.
There’s nothing to dislike.

Verified reviewOur stay at Villa Lima was perfect. The apartment is nicely and modern furnished and you can have a great view on the sunrise from the balcony. Angelle was very helpful: She surprised us with the possibility of a early check-in as we took the overnight flight to the Seychelles. She gave us a lot of recommendations and was answering quickly in advance and during our stay. We would definitely choose Villa Lima again as an accomodation on Mahe.
