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 reviewRight on the beach with a great view and sunset. Rooms were clean and spacious with all the facilities needed. But the best thing were the restaurant and reception staff. Serving fantastic food and very polite and obliging. Nothing was too much. Gilda was the best and made our stay that even more perfect.

Verified reviewA small and very pretty hotel, perfect for relaxing and enjoying high quality food right by the beach. We loved our room in the top floor
Quite expensive in comparison to some 5* offers on the island that include dinner for the same price. Nevertheless we would visit again

Verified reviewThe location near the beach and nearby tourist attractions.
We do not rate the vegetarian food very high - some were good and some not. Some items at breakfast like the croissant was stale and should not have been served. The staff especially for dinner tried their best to help.

Verified reviewThe hotel is situated in a beautiful, tranquil area on the west coast of Mauritius. The check-in was smooth, and the room was spotless and of a good size. The fact that the hotel is not that big means that it was very quiet at night. The beach is beautiful, and the sunsets are just gorgeous.
The parking can get full at times, which sometimes means that some cars need to block others, making it tricky to get the car out afterward. The prices of food and drinks are relatively high compared to those at regular restaurants in the area.

Verified reviewAll the staff were great, very helpful and accomodating. Prior to our stay Emilie sent us information about different activities available throughout the island which was really helpful. The breakfast was great, lots of variety. The hotel was really clean and had a nice chilled vibe. Would 100% recommend.

Verified reviewEmilie was an impressive person to welcome and on the reception desk. She was professional and competent. The room was comfortable and the view lovely. The views depend on the room you book - we had opted for seaview and it had a balcony, and it was lovely. Eating dinner there was also good value, tasty and in a nice setting. Swimming just outside the hotel was handy and plenty to see with a snorkel. The location was handy, particularly for going south.
The hotel was pretty great. The traffic on the island was pretty bad at times so it was helpful to plan to visit things in the areas close to the hotels we stayed at.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at The Bay. The pool and the beach are really nice, the food and cocktails are great too. The breakfast was delicious. We appreciated the fresh exotic fruits. The staff is friendly, Emily helped us a lot with all excursions. She provided us a great driver who took us on all the trips. I also appreciated Benedicth, who cleaned our room every day and left us flowers. Thank you all! The sunset was stunning every night.
