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 reviewGreat place, nice staff, fruit trees, no-smell aircon (not so easy to find in Seychelles).
Google map location is correct but not booking.com location, is not 300m from the beach.

Verified reviewJust a 15 minute walk from the harbour, Paodise is ideally located close to everything La Digue has to offer. They also rent bicycles at a lower rate per day than official bike rental places so keep that in mind when you arrive. The bed was super big and comfortable and there’s a beautiful view of the mountains from the patio. Very quiet and relaxing ambience and would definitely come back. They also kindly allowed me to check in a little early/check out a little late. Very kind, relaxed people.
All was good

Verified review- Quiet at night, only 2 rooms in the same building. - Very clean - Easy check in and you can rent bicycles. We got a welcome drink which was nice! - Beautiful garden with lots of birds - Kitchen use and there is oil, tea and things like salt and pepper provided
- Location of booking app is not correct. It's about 300 meters further down the road. Google maps has the right location. - Airconditioning is needed, because very hot in the building - Bed is only 1.60mtr which is a little small in this heat.

Verified reviewI loved everything about the property. Clean, well equipped, beautiful garden, kind and helpful lady. There is even washing machine and every day cleaning. Big spaces, I would definitely return!
At first I thought, the location is too isolated, but after I enjoyed it actually. Much better than being close to the reconstructions. And there are no big distances on this island.

Verified reviewDefinitely a favorite place to stay in whole Seychelles trip. We will be coming back to Paodise. We were a bit hesitant of having a shared kitchen for more than a week, but were happy to see that it wasn't a problem, since the house is so big. The kitchen & living room is spacious, well equipped. Dishes and things maybe a bit eclectic, and the cleanliness wasn't 10/10, but everything of in decent condition, brand new new spacious fridge & stove. Internet was faultless and the fastest we've had in Seychelles - no issues even with video calls. Huge bathroom with perfectly functioning hot water, again, best shower we've had in Seychelles. Favorite part - the terrace! Each apartment had a private seating area with couches and then a large dining area in the middle, making it feel really private even though so big and open. The view over the well maintained garden and the jungly mountain was just amazing! All the fruits in the garden, free to eat - another bonus! Radika was super sweet, accommodated our every need, always there in the mornings doing the housekeeping and making the room perfect. She arranged the bikes for us for a very good price, and they were delivered 10 minutes later to the door. She excitedly brought fresh fruits to us every day. The best part, compared to all our accommodations across Seychelles, was the privacy: in the self-catering guesthouses it often feels like the owners are 'watching' you, expecting you to break something, rearranging things or turning on/off the AC's when you're gone. Paodise felt 100% comfortable, truly like our own little corner of home in the middle of paradise. We will be back!

Verified reviewGreat location and spacious rooms.
Bedrooms only have one pillow per person. More could be done to make them more comfortable in general. Very hot shared living area as only a fan, with aircon in the bedrooms.

Verified reviewIt was for the first time when we experienced a guesthouse and we enjoyed a lot. Basically you have two rooms with toilet and a shared kitchen with living room. In the other room was a nice polish couple. It is a very quiet place, clean and spacious, staff very friendly and helpful, sending taxi for us and arrange for bicycles and crystal kayaks, AC and WiFi working properly. Definitely recommend and will come back here!

A bit far from the main street by foot, consideringt the high price of cabs to bring your luggage there. Kitchen and living room are shared with one another room.
