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 reviewThe property was in a good position to access the tourist attractions. The layout of the accommodation was good
We had an ongoing issue with the payment as we were expected to have cash for payment which we didn’t have. This caused us great anxiety as we would never be a non payer. I read payment at the property and assumed they would take a credit card payment as all of our previous bookings have done. This is not clearly stated that CASH ONLY ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT. We were given instructions where there was an ATM but had difficulty getting money processed. We finally made the trip to a bank which was some distance away and spoke to bank representative. Luckily we had a hire car. He explained that we would need to process over several days as there is a limit on the amount to withdrawn. Mario , the caretaker was unable to give us this information. We read there was a washing machine which there wasn’t. The TV and services didn’t work and we needed to get Mario to look at. If we hadn’t spoken to him ,they would never had worked as he needed to bring in a set top box.We needed to use our account to access NETFLIX. This is not stated as so we would have had no services if we didn’t have an account. There was limited cooking utensils and no oven just a cooking top. An air fryer would have been good as i like to cook when I’m away. No basics for cooking - salt, pepper, oil. We had difficulty finding the residence. If I hadn’t contacted them before we arrived, we wouldn’t have been able to find the residence as all instructions were on What’s Ap and when we arrived there was no power so we couldn’t access anything. There had been an accident and there was a complete black out. Luckily we had a torch to finally find the key box and get into a black house. We crawled into bed as there was nothing else we could do. Whilst I understand that it wasn’t their fault , there was no one to see us until the next day, when the visit was to collect the money. Mario asked if we found the torch- no and we never did as there were two more blackouts in the time we were there.
We note your concerns and take them very seriously, which is why we wish to address them. Sadly, you did not read Booking..com T's & C's. In order to check whether there was a system glitch, I did a booking as well, which clearly states on my confirmation “payment in cash at the property” Payment in cash is clearly stated. We also provided you with our bank details to make a transfer as you requested, but you were unable to do so. We also shared a file with you prior to your arrival, which contained useful information about payment and general instructions. Our term is that you pay on arrival. You arrived on the 16th and paid on 25th i.e. 9 days later and you blame Marisa Management, but at no time was pressure put upon you. You read facilities incorrectly.. Information reads... "If you wish to have additional personal washing done, please ask the domestic staff while they are working and reimburse them for extra duties." We are sorry that there was an issue with your TV Mario, our Manager, was there to help. All kitchen facilities are shown in the detailed information file ...with photographs. We agree that an airfryer would be a welcome addition so we are looking into providing them. Also mentioned in our information file... "Please note that we do not provide condiments, etc... for hygiene reasons, these items would be difficult to disinfect, especially following COVID. The plastic salt and pepper mills are available to buy at the supermarkets Village Shopping Centre " A lorry collided with the power supply. This was indeed beyond our control... We are sorry that you were inconvenienced. Regards Helen and Isabelle Marisa Residences (Owners)

Verified review- comfortable bed - terrace overlooking the garden and swimming pool - beautiful garden - a very well-stocked shop nearby - room cleaning 5 times per 7 days of stay - free safe - good wifi, although it had to be reset several times at the end of the stay - we felt safe there - quiet neighborhood
- the pans definitely need to be replaced - no salt, coffee, tea, shampoo - it's more about the area itself, because it's hot and wet, but there are German cockroaches flying nearby, so it's worth closing the terrace door quickly and not leaving your luggage on the floor. I found one already dead in the bathroom, and we killed a few on the terrace. It's worth checking your luggage before leaving, just to be sure and not to bring them home. - it is worth having a car or other vehicle, house is not close to the road, it might be scary to walk between houses in the evening.
Thankyou Dorota... for all of your comments... Marisa Residences are self-catering and as I explained in the individual studio information file, ""We recommend that you take basic provisions (e.g....tea, coffee or milk powder) with you if you are arriving late in the day ..... Please note that we not provide condiments etc... for hygiene reasons, these items would be difficult to disinfect. The plastic salt and pepper mills and tea/coffee ...are available to purchase at the local supermarkets..."" ...as are shampoos / sun protection creams / provisions etc. We are sorry that the induction frying pans need replacing, we hope you spoke to our local contact. We will investigate and replace again, they are induction from the UK, plastic spatulas are provided for guests. As you appreciated,  insects are more numerous in this tropical climate at this time of year... there are means to control/kill them in the Studios... Kind regards Helen and Isabelle co-owners

Verified reviewA lovely place. The owner was very friendly and handled all our enquiries quickly and efficiently with information packs sent by Whatsapp. The room was very clean and well presented. The bed was very comfortable. The air conditioning helped us during the warm and humid nights. The kitchenette, with its fridge, microwave, and induction hob, was very useful. Beautiful garden full of birdlife and a lovely pool. Very close to a well-stocked supermarket with an excellent quality restaurant nearby. We had a cyclone during our stay, and the property manager was very attentive to our safety and comfort throughout.
Thank you both very much for your review We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay despite the cyclone! Kind regards, Isabelle and Helen

Verified reviewEverything! From the spacious room, to the garden and the Swimmingpool! It is a real piece of paradise. The kitchen came very handy too, also considering the small restaurant offer in Le Gaulette. Supermarket is at walking distance. The cleaning ladies were all very nice and helpful. Towels and bed sheet were changed really frequently.
Mosquitos, BUT in the room there was mosquitos traps therefore it was an easy solved problem.. And the garden was so beautiful that it was worth the hussle!

Verified reviewThe place, location, instalations and stuff where great. Really good value for money. Everything very well taken care of, and the owners are really good hosts. We will be back for sure and We strongly reccomend it.
The only thing I could say, is that there wasnt space in the kitchen to be confortable cooking. Maybe a little table would help.
Hi Sara thank-you very much for your review... I am not sure where we could put a table... maybe a large wooden board fitted over the sink would help... I will investigate ... kind regards Helen and Isabelle
