How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewwe booked what they call a villa, but the bedroom and toilet was lucked, and we were unable to get into it, we had to sleep on a bunk in an spare room.
Dear guest,’ thank you for your review. But can you please advise what you mean that the room and toilet was locked? You booked a 1 bedroom villa so where was the spare room that you slept on a bunk when the villa has only 1 bedroom with a queen size bed. Are you confusing our villa with another establishment? I live just next door so why didn’t you tell us that the bathroom and bedroom was locked which I know is impossible? It is not right that you made such a review which doesn’t make sense as there are no extra room or bunk bed in our villa. Your review really is not fair and is not true.

Verified reviewWe arrived at midnight, but it was no problem. A taxi was arranged for us , it was a 5-minute transfer, we were personally greeted in a happy manner and welcomed, even though we had a late arrival.

Verified reviewWell a lot. First of all I liked how no one responded me at whatsapp during like probably an hour while I was trying to reach someone to check me in (spoiler: that never happened). After I arrived at the place there was not a single soul to meet me and check me in as well, I kept trying to call but vainly. The property look abandoned years ago, I guess I could find some sort of construction site and stay there for free instead of wasting time on this booking. Oh, I forgot! After I left this place and went somewhere else, I was charched 115 EUR for this booking, that were never refunded me back, and I guess never gonna be. Have fun at the Effie Mountain View coco villa! Or under the tree next to it.
What to start with? IDK Try to respond calls, or text, or shouting, whatever, we'll see what to improve next
Dear guest, I called you several times and sent you messages but you never took your phone. There was no way of reaching you so I do not understand what you just wrote.

Verified reviewFully equipped, spacious with a balcony with an alternative pitch
We didn’t feel total privacy as the blinds in the kitchen couldn’t go all the way down and we could see through the separating door with the next apartment and vice versa (just a curtain that was not totally closed)

Verified reviewPleasent Host.
Overall we found the appartement much draker than in the picture. The air conditionning was not working (so very hot) and as we did not have a car, it was far from restaurants and activities (even the guide lost one hour finding it !) So overall it did not match our expectations

Verified reviewCheck in was super easy. The villa was beautiful and comfortable, the AC worked well. The garden was gorgeous, and the view of the mountain was lovely. Supermarket across the street made it very convenient, as well as proximity to airport.
There were some communication issues, no instructions left on how to checkout. Had to check out early, had arranged to have a taxi service bring us to Airport but no one was around at 6am when we needed to leave, and no one ever arranged the taxi as they said they had done. However, Marcus at the property did come out of bed to assist us with getting a taxi last minute.

Verified reviewThe hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. Any time I'd have a question or an issue they were able to help me out. Had an AC issue and they resolved it withing about 30 minutes. There's also a few convenience stores within a minute's walking distance and Victoria is a 10-15 minute drive away.
The water pressure is low but that may be a Seychelles wide issue. There were also a lot of ants, but seeing the climate I wasn't too surprised about that. After we lived in the villa for about a week the ants lost interest and left. WiFi was on the slower side.
