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 reviewEverything. This accommodation is in the best location for beach lovers and the best snorkeling we did in the entire island. There is a lovely reef with beautiful fish. The host I can rave for hours. She is the best and most sweetest person. I loved on our last night that she invited us for some drinks and snacks, and she and her husband shared some history of their lives on the island. She even gave me some cream after a mosquito bit me. They are just so caring and helpful. Oh and she took us in her car to show us the resturants and recommended places to eat. The place has lounges and cushions that you can use to sit and relax on the beach. It has direct access to a private beach. It's extremely lovely. I booked this based on a review that said if this is available don't think twice just book it. And that is my feedback to you. If this is available trust me just book it and you won't regret it.
Honestly I loved everything. It's quiet and a great location. If I had to say something I would prob say it's a little small. But we didn't book a place to stay indoors. Our plan was to explore. So the place was perfect for us.

Verified reviewMarise the owner is an absolute gem of a human. You will have an experience of your life time at the Artist house east which has unique, creative and priceless energy of its own. from every detail of the tiny home itself, the beautiful back windows and fully sliding front windows providing an indoor outdoor vibe, the open deck allows you to watch variety of enchanting birds coming to visit, to its charming and considered furniture, artwork, bedding, towels..everything is both aesthetic and extremely functional, you will have stepped into pure magic and be missing nothing. Not to mention private access to the beach steps away allows you to watch the jaw dropping sunrise each morning..and the unique feature of this long mostly private stretch of beach allows you to watch the sunset at the other end as well. You are also close to Bel mar and easy access to Ile aux cerf which are easily the best beaches in the whole of Mauritius. Also close proximity to Trou d'Eau Douce town is extremly convient for trying variety of food, getting grocieriee and banking. During my stay i initially booked 6 nights but then decided to scooter for 3 hours across the country so I can come back and end my trip for the last 3 nights here. Staying here, makes you feel protected and safe for a solo female traveller. A complete nervous system reset. It was an absolute blessing and privilege to meet Marise, who went above and beyond and took care of me better than my own mother. She thinks of every detail and truly cares about her guests. When I arrived, everything was perfection, fruit from her garden, prepared coconut and food ready. I really wish I could have done something to repay her but her generosity is from her heart. her husband Arvey is also an extremely lovey man, who told me stories of his travels, they also got gas for my scooter because I was on my own. However if you want more privacy they are really good about respecting your space as well.
Absolutely nothing, it was beyond perfection, 1st world standards, everything you can think you can think of was provided and working well!

Verified reviewEverything. Such a cute cottage and everything as per the photos. The location was almost right on the beach, a few steps to the water's edge. Maryse and Herve were such lovely hosts. So welcoming, friendly, and generous. They shared meals and fruit with me at times. I even received a Christmas gift from them, which was so heartwarming. Also on a bus route to and from Flacq which was convenient.
Nothing.
