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 did not stay in this place due mold in our room, but on the ground floor it did not smell of mold, so I guess that if you receive a room on the ground floor instead of upper floors, then it's fine. But I don't recommend in case you do receive the room on the upper floor (like we did).
We received a different room than the one which was pictured in our booking (with some red suitcases on the wardrobe, why didn't the owner move them somewhere else?). In several places the paint on the celling was peeling off showning black, dampned walls. The room smelled of mold. We decided to leave the same day. The apartment owner did not agree to a refund and we had to open a query with booking.com. Hudge disappointment.

Verified reviewThe host family is simply exceptional — incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s the best way to experience the warmth of a local Mauritian family. I was lucky to have breakfast every day and also dinner, all lovingly prepared by a true local chef eager to help guests discover and enjoy authentic Mauritian cuisine. I truly recommend this place! The full family was so kind and welcoming — best greetings to them! I really hope to come back soon.

Verified reviewBeing an introvert and in need of lots of space, I am often nervous of true homestays, although I do them regularly. This one was such a wonderful experience. Own room and bathroom, basic but spacious, close to the beach. Joyce is a powerhouse businesswoman, cook, accountant, mom, daughter aunt, partner alongside Elian and mom, sister, kids, friends, dogs. We were included in New year festivities and Mauritian dinner as part of the family. What a great stay. No wonder people keep coming back.
Nothing. We loved it. A small guest fridge would be useful, but not in the room (usually too noisy).

Verified reviewDefinitely NO GO! I texted the hosts a few days before our arrival that I had just found out about them having a few dogs and that it was a big problem for me. I did not know that information before because it was not mentioned anywhere in the description of the accomodation (I (luckily) randomly found out from a rewiev!!) Since I have a very strong allergy (and not mentioning my boyfriend's panic fear of dogs) I find this information very important. The hosts did not even bother to text me back. I also requested them for a free cancellation (Booking offers this possibility on their website) but AGAIN they ignored it. They were clearly just waiting for the money and did not care about anything else. I think that this is a very rude and impolite behaviour,maybe even fraudulent! I dont think that's how a decent person should behave. We never went there and ended up finding a new accomodation which was much better and even cheaper.

Verified reviewThe hosts are super friendly and loving. We talked a lot with them about our cultures, living, food, religion, etc. One will love to spend time with them. And the lady is an amazing cook. She cooked a very delicious breakfast for us even though we are vegetarians. Also, they have two cute dogs which made my stay more fun.
This place is near a lot of greenery, so need to be careful about mosquitoes here.

Verified reviewJoyce and her family were absolutely lovely and welcoming! You really get to hear and experience what everyday Mauritian life is like! Their house is at the end of a quiet road and about 10 mins walk from Pereybere beach or 5 mins to the nearest bus stop which can take you to Grand Baie/Trou Aux Biches. The property is a bit dated and the room itself is basic and simple but a comfortable stay nonetheless. It’s not super clear on the details on Booking.com when booking but they do have two dogs and also there are family members that smoke. Wasn’t a problem for me but something to consider if that bothers you. Lastly, Joyce will feed you! The breakfasts were plentiful and she made a fantastic dinner (additional charge of €15/RS750) - fish stew to my request which was lovely and delicious! I wish I could have stayed longer, for her hospitality if not for her food!
Because a household with dogs, there was a bit of a lingering smell in the room. Very minor and easily fixable. Other than that, was just sad to go!

Verified reviewThe hosts were a lovely couple and made us very welcome, they were happy to share lots of information about Mauritius. The room was quite old and tired with broken electric sockets behind the bed. We weren't able to lock the bedroom door which was a first for us but we were told this was normal in Mauritius. We had dinner at Chez Nous on the first night, the food was very good, Joyce is a great chef but unfortunately she didn't join us for dinner as she had another engagement, her husband joined us but didn't eat. When we got the bill we were a bit surprised at the price as we didn't think it was good value in comparison to other places across the island but perhaps that was our fault for not clarifying the price first. Kindly gave us a late check out.
