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 reviewA very cozy and well-maintained villa. Nice hosts. We've stayed in 3 different places in Mauritius, and this was the best. Very clean. The beach is about a 15-minute walk. So is a big supermarket and some restaurants.
The water pressure is rather low in the shower. It takes some time for hot water to come, and it seems like it's not always working. A lot of stray dogs in the area, like on the rest of Mauritius. But they were friendly.
Hello Sergey, Thank you very much for your kind review and remarks 😊

Verified reviewHello, here is our feedback on the wonderful accommodation with the lovely hosts of Seashell Haven Villa. A first contact was made a week earlier on WhatsApp, which raised our anticipation of this holiday. Since we arrived in the evening, we were already suggested two restaurants nearby to eat something. On arrival, water, fruit and a snack basket were ready. A spacious and nicely furnished apartment with separate access, immediately made us feel like we were at home. On the first day something broke and it was immediately replaced by the host. Two bathrooms are very convenient for a family of four with two teenagers. The kitchen is equipped with everything to cook yourself after shopping in the supermarket, not far from the apartment. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. There are two large flatscreen TVs that we didn't use because we enjoyed the island. The family of the host has been by us throughout the stay with words and deeds. So we were able to get to know some restaurants, sights and beach accesses. The family also helped us during the week with national fruit and smallhomemade snacks. We were also able to learn a lot about the culture and authentic life there. Above all, it is admirable that many religions and ethnicities treat each other with respect. Unfortunately, one week is too short to get to know the diversity of this beautiful home of this dear host family. So we will have to come back!
Hello Nicole and family, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re delighted you felt at home and enjoyed the touches we prepared. It was truly a pleasure hosting your lovely family and sharing a bit of Mauritian life with you. We’re so glad you appreciated the culture and warmth of our island. You're always welcome back at Seashell Haven Villa!

Verified reviewThe property space, decoration and furniture was too good in excellent conditions. The garden and surroundings were clean, calm and secured, Trou aux beach was 10 minutes walk from Seashell. Whole family was welcoming and willing to do maximum efforts to make our stay enjoyable, satisfied and memorable with comforts. Specially Mr. Jack took me to buy some Naan late night on our 1st day arrival. When our driver struggling to fine property, Mr. Jack came to guide our driver and escort him to bring us to Seashell. He and his family were so kind. We were surprised when Mrs. Jack prepared and send us Haleem for dinner on next day which was very delicious and right from their kitchen. On our request Mr. Jack dropped us at airport with some charges which was great help to us. We will remember our Mauritius trip with this family. Thanks to them all. They gave us all the stuff they kept on Kitchen counter, which we never touched from our arrival assuming they will charge us, but it was pleasant surprise when his daughter brought all items, like chocolate, juice, biscuits etc when we were leaving for airport on our last day, she said it was all for you to use, Mr. Jack also insisted to take it, we are very thankful to them from our core of hearts. Overall review is EXCELLENT.
Only one thing bus stop and shops are almost a kilometer away, it is adviceable to Guests that they should rent a car for easy travelling around and sightseeing. Rest is excellent.
Hello Farid, Thank you for your review!

Verified reviewWe had an absolutely amazing 1 month stay at this villa hosted by Dhisti and her family. The house is huge with spacious rooms, lots of natural light, a beautiful sunset view from the balcony, and everything that you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We loved the location as well. We walked 15 mins to the beach every day. There's lots of restaurants, mini marts, a grocery store, a bakery, pharmacy, tour companies, and car rentals all within those 15 mins walk. The host family was super kind and even brought us lunch and water on the first days. They are super attentive and eager to help with anything you need. When the aircon in the main bedroom stopped working, they had it replaced the next day. The house has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an extra sofa bed, big kitchen, dining area, living room and an office area,, so it's definitely big enough for a whole family or a few friends. We can 100% recommend this place and will definitely stay here again if we go back to Mauritius.
Hi Alyssa Thank you so much for your kind review and for trusting us as your very first host—it means even more to us, as you were our first ever guest! It's hard to believe it's already been nearly a year since your stay. We're truly grateful for the experience and hope you've had many more wonderful stays since then.
