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):
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.
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.).

IndiaCleanliness of our unit was not exactly at par with what expected from such rated property. Our sheets, pillows were stinking like used unwashed ones, the clothes cupboard had a strong odour of sweat, and toilet was just tolerably clean. TV and kettle were non functional. On the up side they attended to it as soon as we pointed out. But it was a plus long wait after initial wait of an hour to get the room. I was unwell and was looking forward to rest, when all these hurdles made it really very annoying. Moreover, this kind of flaw is not expected at the price they take. The property’s claim to a private beach is also exaggerated when the beach in question is just a sea view with rocky grounds and marshy land, prohibiting any access to the sea.
The location and the grounds were good. It is a very nice property, beautifully designed, lots of greenery and natural beauty. Services were prompt, staffs are nice especially at the dining, people are very friendly and helpful. Dining facility is a very pleasant hall, provides a nice ambiance and nice food.

IndiaHonestly, there's nothing to complain about. If you're planning a trip to Neil Island, I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Sea Shell, Niel. It's the perfect mix of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty.
I recently stayed at Sea Shell on Neil Island, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The location is absolutely fabulous, offering stunning views and a serene atmosphere that's perfect for relaxation. The resort's private beach is truly a highlight secluded, pristine, and incredibly peaceful, making it ideal for unwinding by the ocean. Another standout feature is the restaurant, which I believe is the best on the island. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit every palate. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance added to the overall charm of the place. If you're planning a trip to Neil Island, I highly recommend staying at Sea Shell. It's the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty.

IsraelI didnt like that for me as a smoker it was very limited. I came for a vacation not to be limited. For me it was very hard. Its not fun to go outside in the middle of the night from your room at the time that you have a balcony but i need to go to the ocean just for smoking. Think about let two or three rooms that literally with balcony to smoke. Its just annoying and two or three rooms with smoke in the balcony wouldn’t kill anyone it is just absurd to me that I payed so much money on a room with a balcony on a second floor but i cant smoke there although i have my privacy
I like the lights that was very warm, i like that the room was very clean as well as all the resort. Very nice people in the reception and all over the place.

United KingdomJust the WIFI wasn't very good, which was a hotel issue as it would work in the restaurants close by.
Quiet hotel, which more like an annex for it's sister hotel the Samsara just down the road from it, so ideal for families. Rooms were lovely and the breakfast was very good. The dive centre was based there which was ideal for arranging all your diving needs. Remember if your over 60 you aren't allowed to dive in the Andaman Islands.

A very comfortable and luxurious room with a balcony overlooking a lovely garden. It is in walking distance of a swimming beach and walking distance to the top of the island. We hired bikes nearby and enjoyed cycling around the island.
