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.).

United KingdomThere were only four bubbles, and they weren’t very crowded.
I thought the breakfast was excellent—special thanks to the chef! The golf coach was also incredibly kind and welcoming. 😊

United KingdomOne or two nights is sufficient. If staying again, I would book either the lake or tidal bubbles as they are much more private to the sea view bubble we had booked. This bubble feels much more overlooked. We also booked our children into the banyan tree bubble, which they loved and is more private, but they were a long way from us (golf buggy ride) so if going as a larger family of 5 upwards then I recommend booking the lake with either the sea view (relatively next door to each other) or tidal bubble which is again next door to the lake bubble and the tidal is not overlooked by the beach in anyway (although it could possibly be by the golf course but I don't know) and both are almost as close to the beach as the sea view bubble.
For a unique night, this was a great way to spend our last night in Mauritius before (late) flight home. The hotel has its own jetty so the local boat picks you up from there. The golf buggy transports you around the island. Once the day trippers had left the island, you have the beaches almost to yourself (other than the other 3 lodges on the island!) At the airport, this island is on their billboards so it was great knowing we had stayed on this beautiful island. Bubbles were clean and had everything you need for a night. Food was v good, both breakfast and evening meal - this is your only option for food in the evening so half board is needed and choice of breakfast for only 4 bubbles on the island was excellent - served. Plenty of options for snacks at various beaches during the day. Stunning beach. Highly recommend for a short, totally unique stay.

NetherlandsAs a honeymoon splurge, we booked this stay in the Banyan Bubble, and we had an amazing two nights on Ile Aux Cerfs! All the staff are extremely friendly, and although part of the golf course on the island, you are definitely treated as a special guest there (and are the only people allowed to stay overnight in the bubbles on the island). We also booked the beach dinner which was a very special experience having the whole beach to ourselves and a private chef cooking an amazing dinner. Also compliments to Ketty for the fun chats and service she provided during the dinner, and during the whole stay.

Saudi ArabiaMy recent visit to Bubble Lodge was truly remarkable! Right from the start, I was greeted by the friendly staff, who made me feel at home. I want to give special thanks to the girl who served our dinner; she was attentive and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Also, the golf cart driver was incredibly helpful and friendly, making sure we got around the resort with ease. The experience of staying in a bubble was unlike anything I had tried before, and I found it absolutely worth it! It offered a unique perspective of nature while still providing all the comforts I needed. To top it off, I indulged in a premium dinner that was simply delicious! I highly recommend trying it if you visit.

A great experience amongst the Banyan trees. Bobble lodge is a good size for 2. Plenty of private outside space. Ashwin was always on call, and ferried us around no matter what time it was. Hands on helping with the luggage, and all necessary information. All staff happy and helpful.

United KingdomThe view of the beach could have been better if the hedge had been trimmed down. Only half board is included. So if you want to eat lunch you will have to pay very expensive prices. We paid £16 for a bowl of plain nachos, accompanied with a small bowl of guacamole. Personally, i think lunch should also be included. As it cost just under a thousand British pounds for 2 nights.
Lying in bed and being surrounded by the trees that canoped the bubble was special. Especially waking up to the sunlight shining through the branches and remembering where you are. Loved shower outside in nature, too. We had ocean paradise bubble, which was a few feet away from the lovely beach.

The experience of sleeping next to the beach, waking up in the morning and having the most beautiful private beach all to ourselves. The butler and staff at the clubhouse were superb. The golf course is outstanding too.

GermanyStaying at the bubble hotel was truly a special experience. The breakfast and dinner was very good, with delicious vegetarian options, though a bit more variety would be appreciated. It felt incredible to stay on an island with only two other couples, enjoying the iconic atmosphere and breathtaking views from the bubble. The bubble itself was very clean and in a good condition. What could be improved? The staff at the beach bar could be a bit friendlier and more attentive. The other staff at the reception and the butler and the staff at the ferry point was more than friendly and welcoming. They tried to make the most of our experience on the island. Also the golf lesson was an amazing experience which we really enjoyed. Thank you to the whole team. Overall, a fantastic stay that we highly recommend for a unique and romantic getaway!

AustraliaThe outside shower could be warmer off season. A kettle is needed for boiling water to make tea.
We loved staying in the bubble. Such a unique experience on a beautiful island. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, instantly making us relaxed and happy to be there. I particularly appreciated the flexibility accommodating the fact that due to our flights we arrived early at 9am and left late at 6pm. We were able to enjoy our days on the island to the full.

Mukesh was just as embarrassed... we all had to wait for the buggy to get back from dropping off an irritated wife and her failure golfer hubby...
Absolutely everything.... From when Mukesh picked us up, to the amazing dinner on the beach... everyone and everything was amazing

RwandaYou probably don't need a ton of time here, as the room is a little tight for a full family (but super fun!). At times you have to wait a little while for the golf cart to pick you up to take you to the other parts of the island. I don't have many complaints at all.
We stayed at the Banyan Bubble. The Bubble Lodge is certainly one of the most unique accommodations we have ever stayed in. We arrived late due to a flight delay, but the staff was still able to ferry us to the island and set us up for a late dinner. The grounds are beautiful. The beach has all sorts of starfish and other sea life easily visible through the clear water. The food is fantastic. Pretty easy to get around. It was a joy being woken up by weaver birds each morning.

SwitzerlandThe breakfast. Way too simple for the price; expecting hot buffet breakfast/à la carte as also my wife has many allergies such as a gluten, gluten-free, onions, pepper, etc, so she only had some fruits which she can't eat all as alergies too....expecting rice crackers / hot dishes like rice, fried rice, vegetables, traditional local dishes for non gluten. The gluten-free bread was awful & she was afraid to eat it as it's gluten free ( modified food ), she could only eat real food. The portion of the Valentine's dinner was way too little as we weren't full. Furnitures. Sofa cushions were so dirty at the lobby, damaged sofa cushion on the balcony of our lodge, which are shocking for us as we've never experienced during our travel elsewhere. We are expecting to have a swimming pool for lodge in general.
Friendly staffs, very helpful & kind butler during our stay ( we really appreciate him precisely ) Tasteful dinner ( pizza bun was very" tender & tasty, expecting having for breakfast to have more varieties ) Very great air conditioning in the room & restaurant.
