Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was very clean, well-organized, and had all the basic essentials I needed. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming — he even provided complimentary snacks, which was such a thoughtful touch. All the check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

AustraliaAll great
What a find! This apartment was spacious, comfortable and located in a great area of the city near Chinatown with the central market, museums, waterfront all within close walking distance. Jude met us on arrival and explained all on offer - kitchen, washing machine etc- which we appreciated. A real bonus was Netflix - great to relax after a day out exploring. Thanks Jude - a great stay!

United Arab EmiratesNothing about the apartment itself, but the area makes sure you get your groceries before 6 pm. Almost everything almost closes after 6 pm, some are open but near the Victoria Station by the waterfront
Everything is Brilliant, perfect. I want to thank Mr Jude for the excellent Hospitality. It exceeded the Hospitality of 5-star hotels. The rooms are big and clean, very near to the metro and to the city center, you will find everything you need for an amazing visit to Port Louis. If you gonna visit Port Louis make sure you consider this place if you want to feel at Home

United KingdomCleaning was a bit hit and miss. Needed to wash some of the crockery before using. Although the area was buzzing in the day it was dead at night. There were only a few traditional Chinese restaurants where you could eat and drink wine. There is a service shaft that runs through the apartments and, although our windows on to it were closed, we could still hear a lot of noise from other apartments especially early in the morning.
Spacious apartment, would have been fine for four. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and seating. We were able to check-in early, easy to find with Google maps. Sheets and towels clean and relatively new. Shower worked well, always hot water, body wash, conditioner and shampoo provided. Air conditioner and WiFi fine. We did not need to contact the owner after check in but he lives in the opposite apartment and his door was always open during the day. Two small balconies to sit out on (needed to move chairs from inside) Walking distance to supermarket, restaurants, bus station, waterfront etc.

IndiaEverything was comfortable.
Its location is near to the restaurants, bus and metro stations, central market, and the water front. Kitchen was good with all the facilities, including drinking water. Lobby and dining space spacious having large TV with internet. I enjoyed the easy chair the most. Mr. Jude is a great host. Next morning, he willingly took us for a half day trip to make us acquaint about bus and metro services. Due to this, we could go to Grand Baie, Botanical Garden, Mahebourg water front, and Blue Bay beach by bus on our own, thus saving a lot on taxis. He also arranged a good taxi for us for a full day trip to the south at good price. It was great to talk to him in hindi. Thanks, Mr. Jude.

United StatesThe city of Port Louis is not an easy place to navigate if you've not grown familiar with the place. Street signs are mounted on buildings at the corners, so not easy to spot at times. I started to feel, almost comfortable, on the third day in town with driving. Google maps was not accurate to locate Wakin Residence. For future travelers the Wakin Residence is located on Etienne Pellereau St. (which is called Rue Malbar on the block before Remy Ollier St.) Between Remy Ollier St. and Royal Road. If one does a Google search for the BM Way Trading company, those directions will take you 100m SW of the Wakin Residence. Free street parking fills up quickly during the day, empties out between 1600 and 1900, then fills quickly again with people parking for the night.
Jude, the property owner, was very helpful and always available to answer questions whether the related directly to the property or not. If you drive: There is free on-street parking available along Entienne Pellereau. Be sure to not block driveways or gates of other properties when parking. Be sure to fold in both side view mirrors when parking on any street as many are very narrow. The smaller the car you rent, the lower your blood pressure will remain. Very close to half a dozen quick food places only three blocks (500m walk) awa back up toward the SSR. The Wakin Residence is also close to downtown Port Louis and the waterfront. It is an easy 1km walk. The M2 highway can be daunting to try to cross to the waterfront if walking. But if one goes to Sir William Newton St. and heads toward the M2 you will find the pedestrian underpass which takes you to the waterfront side.
