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 reviewRoom and restaurant staff are very pleasant. Hotel is beautiful from the outside
No water pressure, lukewarm water only, massive jacuzzi that cannot be used. No proper Shower, only hand-held shower head. toilette smaller than an airplane toilette. When sitted, your knees touch the wall in front. AC leaking water and creates a huge puddle in the middle of the room. internet very slow (2-3 mb/s at most) Reception staff and hotel management not pleasant.

Verified reviewbeautiful hotel with extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming staff!
unfortunately the bed was pretty uncomfortable (it could use a new mattress. the bathtub could use a little update as well. i did still really enjoy the bath but the jets were unusable and extremely loud. also not an ideal place if you need wifi but it didn’t bother me too much

Verified reviewLoved the architecture & design, felt like we were in the French Riviera. The pool was incredible, flowing in a design around the hotel. Barman created beautiful divine cocktails on the beach. Beach bar is amazing!!! Everyone was exceptionally helpful & so friendly. Even the airport shuttle they arranged was fantastic! We'd definitely stay there again.

Verified reviewBeautiful hotel, the swimming pool was just wow. The staff were nice.
The bed was not comfortable though. There was like a curb in the middle and we couldn’t sleep well. For a single person it would have been better.

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel was good as it was situated close to a few restaurants in Boucan Canot. The hotel had a separate beach, but unfortunately, swimming in the sea in front of the hotel was not allowed (a nearby beach can be used). The pool was nice and well-maintained. The staff was helpful, and even though some did not speak English, they tried to help. It is best to rent a car to visit other areas, especially on a rainy day, but the bus station is right in front of the hotel and only takes 7 minutes to get you to Saint Gilles centre.
The hotel needs an update, as it appears old and worn out, looking more like a 3-star hotel. The breakfast was extremely disappointing, with no vegetables available, not even those listed on the menu (for example, mushrooms for the omelette) and frequent shortages of some items such as scrambled eggs. I had to request tomatoes and cucumbers, which should have already been provided in a 4-star hotel. But the staff was kind and trying to help. Additionally, the room cleaning left much to be desired until I complained about it. Again, when I complained, it was then sorted. The hotel is far from any supermarket unless you have a car. I previously stayed in a 5-star hotel nearby and had a fantastic experience.

Verified reviewThe location, the breakfast, the view. Nice architecture with the swimming pool.
Poor Wi-Fi connexion. Bed is so so (too soft). Bathtub too low and not practical. No real shower in Standard room. Avoid room on the street side, may be noisy with the traffic. Bar too expensive
