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 reviewWe initially booked AHAVAH just because we had an early morning boat tour nearby, but the room was so comfortable and the hosts so welcoming that I wish we could have stayed longer. Ashley was super responsive and helpful from the moment I made the booking, and his entire family is friendly and welcoming. The homemade breakfast was top notch, and they were kind enough to prepare it early so that we could enjoy it before heading out on the boat tour. The facilities were clean and we had everything we could have needed, including a washing machine, mosquito repellent for night (definitely needed), and good wifi. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewLovely environment, with parking. Family run business, who were very kind, mindful and informative. WhatsApp all information to us. The apartment was everything you could ask for, cooking, sleeping, wardrobe, washing machine, great shower. Bed big and comfortable, found us smaller pillows. Breakfast was delivered to our balcony which was very tasty each morning.
Nothing. It is on the windy side of the island, however beautiful.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our stay here very much. Especially heartly thanks to Ashley's mother to make it feel like home. Shruti who brought us delicious breakfast with a big smile. Everyone is super nice and sweet. It is a very good hotel/airbnb with a nice touch of family environment. Renting a car comes handy for roaming around Mauritius. All the excellent reviews given to them are well deserved.

Verified reviewBest value for money we had in Mauritius. We were surprised of high quality standards. Perfect new large apartment with everything you need. Owners and his family are very nice and helpful with everything. Breakfast is always good with small variations every day. Great parking possibilities. Village offers everything you need (nice beaches within longer walk distance, shops + restaurants by short walks) Dont be surprised about dogs on the streets like in every village in Mauritius. They are calm and peaceful.

Verified reviewFabulous family run property where nothing is too much trouble. Some little touches throughout the stay made everything even better than expected. Ashley is clearly on top of everything and sets himself high standards. This shows through in the quality of fixtures and fittings. For example the bathroom and shower were of a higher standard than a 5 star hotel. Ashley and his family are always approachable and happy to help with information and assistance when needed. Very easy to recommend this property. It is also in the perfect location for booking for Île aux Cerfs. Just BOOK IT!

It was very easy to communicate with him. He gave us many great tips for "what to do?", "where to eat" etc. Breakfast was very nice. The room was spacious and the bed was big and very comfortable.

Verified reviewSolo traveller, it was the perfect stay. Hosts were outstanding, super friendly and helpful and could not do enough. Room is really nice, extremely clean and spacious with everything you need. They provided a delicious breakfast every morning with super fresh items. Would stay again 100%
Location is ok, some people wouldn't like that you have to walk through some streets past stray dog to get to main street. For me it was fine, I thought it added character to the experience.

Verified reviewAshley and Varsha, the hosts were great. They looked after all our needs. If you don't get a chance to book any activities before you get to Mauritius they will be able to sorts those out for you. The beech is very close to the guesthouse, infact you can see it from the balcony. We decided not to hire a car, but in retrospect it would have been better to rent a car. Rentals are quite cheap especially if you book online before your trip, otherwise you're looking at paying around MR 4500-5000 per day to hire a taxi. People have good road manners, so driving is very easy in Mauritius. It's a stunning island if you like nature.
There was nothing not to like :)

Verified reviewAshley,Marshall and staff could not be more hospitable. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The fresh bread in the morning is a lovely touch. They set up a WhatsApp group chat so we could contact them at all times. Their restaurant recommendations were amazing. We would highly recommend.

Verified reviewAbsolutely everything. If I could, I would give more than 10. Amazing people with warm hearts, beautiful authentic place, fully equipped, stylish, and comfortable designs. Varsha and Ashley are the most caring hosts you have ever met. They look after you all the time, making sure you have everything you need. Fresh buns every morning cleaning available every day if you want, additional services also available. We had a massage given by the professional in our apartment. This was by far the best place I stayed in on my holidays, and I would recommend it to everyone going to Mauritius.
Nothing. There was nothing to fault.
