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 reviewclean, comfortable apartment, nicely furnished with a good bed and nice host family - also check-in time can be flexible. We also enjoyed the warm evenings on the terrace. Good restaurants in walking distance and no problem to park the car in front of the house.

Verified reviewLife is made of encounters, and only rarely do we experience ones so unique and precious that they stay with us long after we’ve left. I had the privilege of living such a moment during my stay at Colonial and I want to thank you with all my heart for allowing me to discover not just your beautiful heritage, but also the warmth and generosity you shared so freely. Kindness and hospitality are the soul of this business, but you’ve gone beyond—infusing every detail of your amenities, the quality of your accommodations, and your unwavering availability with genuine heart. It didn’t just make my visit to the island memorable; it made it transcendent. Next time, I may not explore much at all—I’ll be too content staying right where I am, thanks to the peace and comfort you provided. Until then, I carry your kindness with me. With deepest gratitude,
Still thinking about it.

Verified reviewThe owners are so kind and hospitable people, and did everything possible for me, including buying a new microwave (because the old one stopped working) and driving me to Chamarel as I didn't have a car! The apartment was comfortable and spacious, with good WiFi, air conditioning, terrace, coffee maker, etc. Will definitely come back when I'm in Mauritius again! Thank you Didier and Desirée!

Verified reviewDésiré and Didier are such great host. They went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Voicing my wish to get to Le Morne Beach and asking how to get there was directly responded to with them organising their nephews to get me there and Didier to pick me up later. Even though I did not went because of heavy rain. Either way, Didier and Désiré are really unique and hart working people. With regard to the apartment, it was flawless as well. I had everything I need and all was nice and clean. A stay at Colonial Cocoon Studio is definitely worth it.
I knew it before booking, but just as a notification one should be aware that La Gaulette does not has a beach. This does not diminish the quality of the apartment itself, though. It is the perfect spot for a tour to Le Morne Brabant or Chamarel with the Chamarel waterfall and the Seven Colored Earth, for example.

Verified reviewEverything was great, the apartment is super clean and comfortable, AC working well, the area is calm, big shop and bus stop are just a few steps away. But the best part about this accommodation is the hosting family. I had a fantastic time, talking with Désiré and Didier, they really made me feel at home and were helpful in so many ways. Désiré even cut aloe vera from her garden to help me with ant bites :) I really recommend this place!
Nothing really, maybe just the location....La Gaulette is absolutely charming village, but it can be quite complicated to get to beaches or other places if you don't have a rental car. The hosts were really helpful to find a solution though, so not a big deal.
