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 reviewPerfect location. Homely. Excellent facilities and every need taken care of. The property has been well thought about layout and facilities wise. Nice pool area, chill out lounge with massage chairs, coffee/tea making station, nice kitchenette in each apartment that is well equipped and a bonus laundry room. Owner was very prompt to answer or sort out any issues in person. We had the two apartments upstairs with a communal lounge/dining area and lovely balcony with great views. Overall a steal of a find with all amenities and excellent service.
All great

Verified reviewThe apartment is spacious and has a neat bathroom, a functioning kitchen and decent beds. Good enough for an overnight stay
The owners were not around to welcome us and there are multiple apartments in one compound, so we went around looking for our place whilst the other occupants were quite weary of us, one even sent their son to lock their apartment door! Check out is way too early at 10am! We asked the owner for just an additional 30mins extra and he replied at 10.15am saying he could not give it to us as there were other people checking in, it was literally just allowing us another 15mins extra, which he denied. The apartment was also not as aesthetically pleasing as depicted in the pictures and definitely over priced!
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t fully meet your expectations, although we appreciate that you acknowledged the apartment’s spacious layout, clean bathroom, functioning kitchen, and comfortable beds. Regarding your arrival: we offer self check-in precisely to give guests more flexibility, and we always provide clear instructions in advance. If you had any trouble locating the apartment, we regret the inconvenience — but we’re always reachable to help promptly, as outlined in our check-in guide. As for the check-out time: it is clearly stated in the listing and is part of our house rules. On the day of your departure, we had multiple same-day check-ins and check-outs scheduled throughout the property, and our cleaning teams operate on a tight schedule to ensure everything is ready in time. You had booked for just one night, and requested a late check out at the last minute... We couldn’t approve the late check-out, not out of unwillingness, but because of the day’s demanding logistics. On the topic of aesthetics and pricing: our photos are current, unedited, and reflect the apartment accurately. Our value for money is regularly praised by other guests, though of course expectations can vary from person to person. We’ll take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve — but we also want to emphasize that respecting house rules is essential for everyone’s comfort. While this stay may not have been the perfect fit, we sincerely appreciate your visit and feedback. Kind regards The Rusty Pelican

We did opt for the budget option so not really didn't like per se but but don't expect grand,.it's all perfectly functional. Examples being no proper.curtain rail but hooked over window and DIY wardrobes. But still enjoyed our stay and would recommend

Verified reviewThe flat we had was extremely spacious and probably also great for families. The pool is definitely a plus, as there is no beach in walking distance. We would recommend to have a car while staying in the area to explore beaches and hiking opportunities in the area which we loved. There are great restaurants in walking distance though as well as a supermarket. Host is great and responds super quickly to all messages.

Verified reviewBeautifully equipped and so comfortable. Great facilities were within walking distance and we managed to see a sunset over the sea. The pool was an added bonus as was the massage chair! Perfect location for dolphins excursions from Le Morne Yacht club.
We barely slept due to the dogs howling and barking. Obviously that is way beyond the control of the hosts, there was nothing more they could do to make it a great stay.
