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.).

Verified reviewNice modern villa with everything you need to make it home from home, and a short walk into the town. We would happily stay there again.
As previous reviews have said. The pool needs to be re tiled as a lot came loose. This didn’t stop us using the pool though. Also take a tea towel to dry the dishes.

Verified reviewA beautiful, modern villa with great facilities. The beds were comfy, pool area was perfect to relax, location just a 10 minute walk from the pier and the beach.
It was a shame that some basics weren't provided (bin bags, dishwasher tablets, salt and pepper - things you need a few of but don't want to buy a whole packet) and a welcome pack of bread, milk etc (we arrived at midnight and had to wait till morning).

Verified reviewIt’s was a lovely villa
Hi, had a great holiday. Villa was fabulous just a couple of small details that could be rectified , didn’t seem to have any tea towels we brought one and left it behind for use of others, in the showers upstairs if you stayed in it for more than two minutes would flood, and glass doors where really dirty , we bought some beach towels they’re all clean left in the wardrobe upstairs and some Lilo’s are in the barbecue cupboard. Hopefully somebody can get some use from them. didn’t spoil our holiday we had an amazing time hopefully come again sometime in the future many thanks.

Verified reviewLocation was great we actually stayed here a few doors down with Imagine Villas 18 months ago and had an amazing time.
Very disappointed with the villa and La Mer Homes, the image on the screen was not the villa we stayed in for starters, although we did know what to expect as we had started a few doors down 18 months ago. We had numerous issues with this Villa and found it to be dirty, not well maintained and unsafe. it was around 34-35 degrees on arrival and we found that one of the bedrooms air-condition was not working at all, we reported it on the Friday and it did not get fixed until the Monday, in that heat it led to some very uncomfortable nights. the ground floor toilet door was broken of the lower hinge and whist this was attempted to be fixed it meant it wouldn't not close properly and we was informed someone would come and finish the job, this never happened whilst we were there. walls were cracked and dirty, curtains we off th trail in one of the bedrooms and a number of towel rails were loose. The pool where do we start, the positive th water was warm, although the pool was filthy! we had a couple of children's floats and these were covered in grime, the tiles surrounding the pool were extremely dangerous when wet, we had three occasions where a 70 year relative fell and injured herself, and our child slipped over more than once which led to tears, thankfully that's all it was. this could have quite easily led to some serious head trauma and or broken bones. the issues we had was th steps had no grips on and were also coming out of the ground at the top, very unsafe to access and egress the pool. this was reported and again no action taken. Whilst this final point we accept is not a reflection on La Mer Homes it is still one to note, we had some very young noisy neighbours who were playing loud music and partying at 3-4-5 in the morning. we did report this and was informed they had spoken to the other management agents and we were advised to call the police.

Verified reviewThe location was great, was plenty of space and the welcome hamper was a nice touch.
The property was a little run down with lots of little things that needed fixing. The pool was missing lots of tiles, which one of the gust hurt there foot on. I emailed about one of the air cons not working properly and some of the repair but but got no response from the property.

Verified reviewIt was a nice villa, very spacious and good outdoor space. The kitchen was well equipped and it had a modern design. The downstairs space was open plan and well laid out with dining and seating area as well as having wifi. There was a huge amount of wardrobe storage in each room. It had a nice large pool and pool area with plenty of seating and loungers. The sun came around the covered seating area in the early morning then over the pool and lounging area for most of the day, with the pool itself becoming shaded late afternoon.
Within the bedrooms there was not any surfaces to use to get ready as it consisted of 2 bedside tables and a wall of wardrobes but no other chest of drawers or dressing table so we ended up balancing make up and hair stuff on top of our suitcase so we could use the full length mirror. The modern sink design in the bathrooms also meant there wasn't any space to put anything to use that mirror. Unfortunately even though we turned on the pool heater, the pool was still too cold to use but this was also partly due to the time of year that we visited.

Verified reviewThe privacy, of villa 18 had so many issues first few days and the staff at la mer Homes were helpful sorting out the problems.
Curtains hanging off the rail , dirty windows and dirt all down the banister , burnt iron and ironing board couldn't use first night , hairdryer wasn't attached to the wall and the pool was missing so many tiles which made it look awful for a property of that age and filter was missing in pool that then had sharp edges on it . Most things were sorted next day , filter took 4 days but the pool tiles can't be rectified till next year so not a patch on villa 1 which was 10/10
Dear Mark, Thank you for choosing LA Mer Homes and hope you enjoyed your holidays. We take customer satisfaction seriously and are glad to hear from you. I would like to apologize for the frustration you've been experiencing in this property although you made a big fuss even before you enter the property. Originally you booked Olivine 1 and then you wished to extend your stay. Due to the fact having upcoming guests this was not possible and we suggested you could move to Olivine 18 and you accepted it. Then you came back asking us to relocated the upcoming guests so you can remain at Olivine 1. And since this is not ethical we rejected your proposal. Now you came back with a lot of untrue issues you believe you faced in Olivine 18 and this is not fair. We appreciate your feedback. It will allow us to resolve any problems that occur and help us to improve our services. We would be glad to have you back in one of our LA Mer Homes and experience our excellent services and hopefully we can change your opinion. Wish you all the best in the future. LA Mer Homes Team
