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 reviewOur stay at Blue Palm Villa was excellent and the property was truly beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Mauritius staying at this villa and would definitely recommend hiring a car for your time here as you will want to explore the island and will need it to get to the restaurants and beaches in the area. The pool area at the villa was really well kept and it felt a real luxury to have such a lovely pool to ourselves. The little added extras from Luana were great, including the wine and beers left for us in the fridge and we made use of the bean-to-cup coffee machine every single morning - thank you! We found it really easy to relax and switch off here as it was so peaceful and quiet, something you may not experience as much at a hotel. All in all we had a really great stay and would recommend anyone to stay at Blue Palm Villa!
Only suggestions for improvement would be that the air-con in the bedrooms are fantastic but as there isn't aircon in the living space, it can get pretty warm in there.

Verified review- The host, Luana, was lovely and very accommodating. We get the sense she cares about her guests. - Beautiful, spacious and peaceful property, which used to be a private spa. - Perfect location, a short drive from Grand Bay and various beaches, but without the noise - Very comfortable beds, slept very well - Aircon in bedrooms worked well - Large, comfortable sofas - WiFi just about good enough for video calls and streaming
Our view is of a two week stay. - Power cuts are frequent on the island, but no candles or torches are provided. More importantly, there is no backup generator, so one night we were without running water for over five hours. - No aircon in the living area or a way to block the sun, so it was very hot in the day. There is a fan which does help though. - Pool is too warm, not refreshing in humid, 30c weather. Needs a cooling or aeration system. We barely used it as a result :( - The bathroom sinks are on an 'island', so there is no mirror for shaving. And dim bathroom lighting is great for setting the mood in a spa, but not very useful if you're actually trying to clean/shave yourself! - A stack of white, hotel quality towels should be provided in each bathroom, rather than the blue towels which shed fluff all over you after use. - Kitchen isn't that well equipped if you want to cook family meals easily. Blunt knives, worn out pots and pans, no bowls, no teaspoons, one ring on the stove doesn't work properly, no dishwasher. - We had to clean the washing machine, as it was dirty. Laundry detergent would have been nice. - A fold up clothes airer would be a thoughtful addition to make drying clothes easier. - A BBQ/grill in the garden would be a great addition. - The villa has potential to be superb, but it needs more attention to detail.
Thank you for your detailed feedback and for staying at The Blue Palm Villa. We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting, comfortable beds, and convenient location—it’s wonderful to hear that you had a relaxing stay. We appreciate your feedback. The week of your stay happened to be an unusually hot one, even by island standards, and we understand how that might have impacted your experience. While warmth is part of the tropical charm, we are looking into ways to enhance cooling and airflow where possible (curtains in the leaving area and additional fan). Regarding the power cuts, while these are unfortunately beyond our control, we’ll ensure that torches and candles are available for added convenience. We have also put a water tank of 1000L on the roof to ensure continuous water flow. Your suggestions about the kitchen equipment, and additional amenities like a BBQ are very helpful, and we’ll take them into consideration as we continue to enhance the villa.
