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 reviewVilla Manaaki is the ultimate B & B. It envelopes the guests in lush beauty, luxury and calm. The hosts, Pascal and Cathy are just wonderful. They made sure we had total comfort and privacy. They were flexible in order to meet our needs. The advice they gave us for tourist attractions, brought us to spectacular and fun places, places we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Thank you for a perfect stay!

Verified reviewWe liked everything about our stay at Villa Manaaki : The Villa is beautiful, calm and green. Just like a little piece of heaven. The hosts were kind, friendly and so welcoming. They gave many good tips about activities on the island and recommendations on places to go. The breakfast was delicious and we even got to discover new seasonal fruits every day. We highly recommend the place, 10/10.

Verified reviewWe recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Manaaki, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had while traveling. First and foremost, the hosts, Catherine and Pascal, are simply incredible. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel comfortable and at home. Their warmth and humor turned our trip into a memorable adventure. They provided fantastic tips for our itinerary, helping us plan our days effectively. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast featuring a variety of superb dishes that showcased their culinary skills. Their hospitality truly enhanced our experience on the island. The property itself is phenomenal. Pascal and Catherine have done a remarkable job creating a beautiful and tranquil space. The walk from the car park to the rooms is enchanting; you pass through a delightful array of fruit and herb trees, and past a lovely swimming pool, all leading to the main building where breakfast is served and one of the guest rooms is located. The attention to detail in the interior design reflects their passion for this place and their joy in hosting guests. Overall, Villa Manaaki is probably one of the best places we have ever stayed. If you’re debating whether to book a stay here, I wholeheartedly recommend you just go for it. You won’t regret it!
We didn't stay longer!

Verified reviewWhat can we say? A stunning hillside retreat! We found Villa Manaaki incredibly relaxing, beautiful and an amazing introduction to La Reunion. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay really special, and their sense of humour and excellent English was exceptional! We’d stay here again without a doubt. The room with the outdoor shower was huge and we loved it.

Verified reviewCatherine and Pascal are lovely hosts. We couldn't feel any more welcome at their beautiful house, since we even had cake and a Rum-tasting. Very wide offer on breakfast. They had great tips for our journey, they made us feel like home. It also helped us that both of them spoke english very well - and even german! Everything was clean, completely spotless and well-equipped.
Absolutely nothing. Enjoyed every minute!
