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 location is the only good thing about this residence. I booked an apartment/studio, but what I got was the smallest room I have ever seen, on the third floor, with no elevator. The toilet was so tiny you couldn't even close the door afterward, and the smell was disgusting. On top of that, you had to pay extra to use the air conditioning, which wasn't really a choice as the supposed "fan" they provide is hidden behind the wardrobe, so you can barely feel it. We also had a faulty door that kept locking us inside; we had to leave a few times through the window (no kidding). As soon as we managed to make them aware (I tried knocking on their door a few times and sending some messages, didnt get a reply), they fixed it.
Hello, first of all thank you for staying at our residence but I do not completely agree with your comment. See the comments of other travelers, if you wanted luxury, you have to go to a hotel and we are very well placed in terms of quality/price. The air conditioning is chargeable as indicated in the ad and the fan is free. We intervene and also listen to the traveler, the proof is the door was repaired because you had forced it. Good luck

Verified reviewThe staff were unhelpful. Tried to move me after 2 days to accommodate another guest. Tried to take advantage of me as a tourist by quoting way over the going rate for taxi service and laundry. No one there when I checked out. Toilet paper not supplied. Mosquitos were a problem.

No AC and it spoiled whole stay: it’s very hot and no air inside, so you need to open windows, when you open windows, there are thousands of mosquitoes inside, I literally couldn’t sleep well during my whole stay. there’s only fan, which is useless in this case AC is must have in such weather(
Thank you for staying at the résidence coin de mire and we thank you for your comment, but we are on a tropical island and I cannot disagree with this one. a fan is available and air conditioning is payable as stipulated in the announcement in view of the energy crisis. on the other hand you had left the studio in a bad state.

Verified reviewThe property is located 200m from the Bain Boeuf beach. Easy to get to and there is a place to leave a car. The place is good value for money, the apartment was clean, the kitchen was equipped and the wifi was working well.
The person on site is not the owner / host but someone who "just works there" so any special requests required them to contact the owner and took time. Communication was not easy as the people on site speak French and a only a little English. The provided phone number was not responding, neither via phone nor whatsapp. Upon arrival there was some confusion on which room we are getting and the person on site seemed surprised that we arrived, despite showing up during the "check-in" hours. For a moment this looked like overbooking but after some "consultation" with the owner, we got the room we reserved. Upon arrival we were told that air conditioning is paid extra at 7 EUR / day. When leaving we were told that this is not per apartment but per device used (!!!) and they tried to charge us almost 200 EUR for A/C for a 1 week stay. This "small" detail is not specified in the property description. It only mentions that A/C is not free of charge. The room description states that A/C is free.
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to respond and rate the residence. We do not overbook because there is a calendar and you had the apartment located on the 2 floors as you had booked. The photos are real and a term value for money at this period is unbeatable. Our announcement makes it clear that air conditioning is payable at an additional cost, we provide fans to ensure a minimum of comfort. The staff on site did their job and knew how to manage despite a minimum of communication for understanding. In addition, I never received a call or an email from you as a host, we are required to have a number and an email. updated. Thank you for staying at our residence and wish you good luck Residence coin de mire
