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 reviewAt our arrival the owner was expecting us, he helped us getting settled and we found a very warm welcome and a very clean appartment with all amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Communication with the owner was very good at all times and this family deserves a 10 in everything. The location of the place is perfect for exploring le morne, the Southeast coast of Mauritius and to do some hiking. We would go back to this place with no doubts.
Nothing!!! I can't think of anything to improve

Verified reviewWonderful stay – perfect location and amazing host! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stayed at Ebony Apartment & Studio in La Gaulette for six nights, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The location is ideal for exploring the southern and central parts of Mauritius — it’s close to major attractions like Le Morne Brabant, Chamarel, Black River Gorges National Park, and the beautiful beaches of the southwest coast. Despite being so well-connected, the area is peaceful and relaxing. The apartment itself is well-equipped, clean, and comfortable – everything you need for a short or long stay is there, from kitchen essentials to a good shower and comfortable bed. What truly made our stay special were the hosts. The owner, Vinesh, is incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help – whether it’s with small requests or organizing island tours. His local knowledge and willingness to assist made us feel truly at home. Overall, a superb experience. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Ebony Apartment & Studio to anyone visiting Mauritius!

Verified reviewThis is one of the best rentals I've ever stayed in, in terms of value for money, location, and a helpful host. It's a big, well equipped apartment. We loved drinking our coffee on the balcony and watching the sunset over the water at the end of the road. And Vinesh and his dad are very kind, helpful hosts. Plus the town is great!

Verified reviewIt was clean, modern, comfortable and had everything you could wish for, even a sandwich toaster! It’s newly refurbished and I cannot recommend Vinesh and his lovely family enough, they cannot do enough to help.
You will need transport here, either bring with you or arrange in advance for a scooter drop off. Sites are near but not reachable by public transport. Not that I didn’t like this, just a heads up!

Verified reviewAmazing hosts, kitchenette equipped with anything you'd need on holidays. Apartment was clean and tidy. Nearby there was a fruit stall with some amazing fruits and bus line no 5 stop. Price ratio very good. Opportunity to consider for the host: if you open the rooftop terrace it will become an amazing sunset scenic spot and a great asset.
Light sleepers will definitely need earplugs for dogs and roosters.
Thank you so much for your appreciation. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. We did our best so that you are comfortable during your stay. We have contacted the owner of the dogs so to make sure there is no disturbance in the surroundings. We hope to see you back again another time!

Verified reviewWe were very happy with our stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious with plenty of space, making the stay very comfortable. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help. Cleaning was done every four days, which was a nice touch. The hotel is located right on the waterfront, and while there is no beach, the views are stunning – especially of Le Morne Mountain from the window. It is very quiet and cozy, creating a perfect relaxing atmosphere. We especially loved the beautiful terrace where we had breakfast while enjoying the surrounding nature.
The only thing we didn’t quite like was the lighting. The room has relatively small windows, so it felt a bit dim even during the day. In the evening, there wasn’t enough light either, as the lamps were not very bright. This is an easy fix – installing stronger lights would make the room much more comfortable!
Thank you so much for your appreciation. We are very happy that enjoy your stay with us. We did our best so that you are comfortable during your stay. Thank you for letting us know about the lights, we’ll make sure that we put a brighter light in the room. We look forward to see you back again!

Cushioned chairs in seating area would be nice but that’s nitpicking. I would definitely go here again.

Verified reviewSpacious, comfortable, equipped kitchen, nice views, parking, Vinesh is a lovely host
Air condition works perfectly. However, if someone doesn't like it, the apartment has many windows and can be easily ventilated. It is on the last floor which means it can get pretty hot during the summer months.

Verified reviewVinesh and his family are super great hosts! They know how to make you feel special and offer you all the help you need or wish - you just feel like in a 5* hotel! The studio we rented was really the best we had in Mauritius. Everything was there what you need and super clean. They take attention to detail like a prepared bottle of water and coffee when you arrive. Also to mention the delicous Samosas from his mom we could try. The appartements are in the middle of La Gaulette, the neighbour hood is quiet and close to the mountain le Morne but you need a car or a scooter to move arround because you wont reach the beach with the public transportation. In the village you can get your daily belongings in small supermarkets. On the mainroad you can find some typical local restaurants for a good price. We stayed 5 nights but we wish we could stay longer. We definitely will book these appartment again as soon we are back in Mauritius!
I'm sure no one here will find anything that isn't good - everything is just perfect!!!
