Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

MaltaExactly like the photos. Staff are genuinely nice and kind. Breakfast was delicious and generous for a good price. Dinner was also very good. Pool very clean, as is the room. Great hot water pressure in shower, good mirror and hair dryer. Tv and mini fridge in room. The reception booked us a van to transfer to the airport. All in all a great stay.

RwandaOur experience was amazing, we loved the staff and especially the cooks who went above and beyond to cater to our preferences. Beautiful sunsets and cocktails! The highlight of this accommodation is definitely the food and the flexibility of the open kitchen from morning to evening, where you can have breakfast at any time of the day. Best food we had while in Nosy Be! The rooms are spacious and the terrace offers a great sea view. There was a bit of noise due to some construction works at the lodge and nearby hotels but the owner apologized and gave us a compensation. We would 100% recommend this place. You will feel at home! Don’t forget to try the nearby restaurant called A L’Ouest, which is also delicious!!

Amazing location right on the beach with sunset views every night, very friendly and welcoming team and staff there who keep the place spotless. The rooms feel modern and WiFi was great but soon as you step outside you feel you’re in nature again which was a perfect balance for us as we need to work at times during travel.

NamibiaThe rooms are modern, clean and have aircons. The lower level rooms open into the pool and the upper level rooms have a beautiful view of the sea. The food at Swisscocobeach was delicious with new options every day. The staff were very friendly and helpful - Samia in particular is a delightful person. The staff went completely out of their way to assist us in finding my father's passport which was lost at the airport. We really appreciate the effort that everyone made to make our stay memorable. Swisscocobeach is located on a quiet beach with an incredible sunset view. I would easily stay here again. Highly recommended.

NorwayProbably the best place we stayed during our 3 weeks in Madagascar. Great room on 1. floor with aircon, fan, safe, beautiful view of the sea, perfect balcony. Nice pool. The restaurant has good food, but there are also a few other options along the beach. Wifi comes and goes. Like in most (all?) hotels on Nosy Be, the aircon is run on the island's el supply, not the generator, so it doesn't work all the time.

SwitzerlandI have nothing negative to say about the property. Not necessary about the property but when deposit was taken from my credit card it was a strange payment message “FRED” with a Swiss phone number and in euros. It would be great to have a more descriptive message like Swisscocobeach. Again not about the property but the people selling items on the beach can be persistent even when sitting in the hotel restaurant.
It’s about 30-45min from the airport depending on your taxi driver. The hotel will organise a shuttle from the airport and it will be added to your hotel invoice. They do accept card. It is a small hotel which is nice. My girlfriend and I rented an apartment and a hotel room next door for my parents. The apartment has all the amenities you need to cook and have a great breakfast together as well as a fridge to keep your items cold. Rooms have AC and fans, Bathrooms have a bidet and are nicely laid out. The restaurant and bar on site is fantastic and the staff make you feel at home and very welcome. The food is really fresh and the beers served are ice cold. They rent motorbikes to hotel guests, when rented one and drive around the island for 2-3hours. The roads on nosy be are really good. The beach outside the hotel is clean and it has a nice stretch you can walk down. There is a security guard at the front gate at night which is adds to the feeling of security.

United KingdomThe staff, in particular Egyptsia and Prisco were amazing!! So friendly, kind and patient. The food Prisco cooked was delicious, so flavoursome and varied with great attention to detail. The room was spacious, very clean and I absolutely loved being able to step into the pool directly from my room :) the only potential improvement would be to consider having some beds on the beach, so the beach can be enjoyed with the same level of comfort. It was faultless otherwise, I would definitely stay again!

GermanyWe loved our whole stay at Swisscoco. Staff was very friendly, accommodating to our demands, helpful. The location was amazing, best bay to stay on the island. All our wishes were met. And even though electricity blackouts occur regularly on the island, the hotel is perfectly equipped with renewable energy back up supply to smoothen out any power outages from the electricity grid. Food at the restaurant was also delicious. Love the fact that they are not trying to have 50 different options on the menu but only offer a few, daily changing but really fresh and yummy options - makes perfect sense to me.
