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 reviewEverything was more than perfect, the house is spacious, beautifully arranged, a large kitchen, with all the dishes you need, a beautiful yard, we really felt at home. The landlady is very kind. If I could give a score of 20, I would give 20. We enjoyed the Sea la Vie home, I would like to go back there😊
Thank you so much Katarina, your review encourages us to continue our improvement & to do the extra mile for our guest.

Verified reviewThe reviews on this site were all positive and therefore we were very surprised when we found the house had not been cleaned (there was urine on the toilet seat, the fridge was filthy and had not been wiped out and old food removed, the bathrooms were a disgrace etc etc). It did not look like the photos on the internet and we were very disappointed.
It was not clean. We could not use showers because they were filthy with mould, hair and scum. One bed was made with torn and dirty linen. Too many things did not work (basin tap needed replacing, no gas, no hot water, power points did not work, kitchen light did not work) These are just some examples. This information was sent to Juliana but she has not responded.
Despite your many many complaints, you seem to have completely left out the fact that I was present within minutes each time you sent me a new complaint. You decided to check out without notifying me. I had complaints from the neighbors that someone was throwing rocks at dogs. With all due respect, We surely aren’t a 5* hotel (and our price definitely reflects that) - but one thing is certain, our many 10 on 10 reviews are proof that our guests love our little island house & that guests recognize the love and effort we put into hosting. I’m very sad that you felt this way, but even more sad you uploaded such a destroying review because I chose not to answer (or let it get to me). Wishing you all the best !

Verified reviewSpacious house, kitchen fully equipped with everything one might need during a stay. A/C in all the rooms. Great host, made sure we were not missing anything . A lot of storage space in all the rooms. Excellent communication for check-in/out and during our stay. Nice neighborhood. Super large veranda, useful for rainy days.
As the house is close to a main road, would advise to bring some ear plugs for sleeping, if you are a light sleeper. During the night it's mostly quiet, but after 6-7 a.m. there is a lot of traffic and it will most probably wake you up.

Verified reviewSpacious house, well equipped, with a large veranda and a garden from which you can see the ocean. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. If you have a car at your disposal, you can reach the store and the beach in a few minutes. In general, a super place as a base for exploring the island. The host - Juliana, is very friendly and communicative. Quickly responds to any inquiries. Highly recommended!
