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.).

The road to the aaccomodation is very steep. It’s pretty tiring to do it on foot.

Verified reviewThere was a very kind and lovely guy that helped us with the luggage, gave us infos about the surroundings and cooked breakfast for us. He was always smiling and supporting for us. we will not forget his cordiality. The panorama is nice and the position also good. Breakfast very good made fresh from the fantastic guy.
The place was nice, but unfortunately it was very difficult, almost impossibile to relax because there were multiple big nests of big bats near the stay, they flew and shouted all the time around the pool area, and we had them in front of our room too for the whole stay (they were hanging in front of a big tree just in front of our balcony). They shouted all day and night in a creepy way, making our time in the hotel very uncomfortable. Also, the room was smaller than expected, with no A/C (it was broken) and no telephone (even tough it was promised)!. The terrace was full of bats so difficult to enjoy and The shower was dirty, and there were no courtains so people from outside could watch us. The entrance door had 2 locks that was difficult to open so it felt unsafe for us because in case of fire we would have been locked inside literally.. Unfortunately, due to these problems, we had to leave the stay before our planned date, leaving the room empty for the last night even tough we paid for it. Also, very misguiding photos! They do not represent the reality. Our room was called "deluxe superior", there was nothig deluxe and nothing superior unfortunately....
PLEASE READ Since we started operating in 2014 no guest has mentioned any concern with the bats. I am very surprised and disappointed that one of our guests, when we value all guests, would make such claims. Nefarious may be too strong but the remarks are nonsensical and untruthful. The guests wanted to cancel the second night of their stay, and our manager went out of her way to discuss their concerns, but they chose to leave. THE REVIEW ABOVE CAN BE COMPARED WITH WHAT THE GUEST WROTE TO OUR MANAGER BEFORE THEY LEFT. WhatsApp Message from Guest to Our Manager Good evening madame! we wanted to let you know that unfortunately we would like to leave the hotel tomorrow morning and stay only one night instead of the two we originally booked. The hotel is really beautiful and clean, we are very happy with the staff as everyone has been extremely kind with us – we have nothing negative to say about the service. However, the room feels too suffocating for us, and the presence of many bats flying near our terrace makes us feel quite uncomfortable, as we are actually quite scared of them. For this reason, we would prefer to check out tomorrow morning instead of the planned 2 nights and pay for one night. In any case, we will definitely leave a positive review on Booking and won’t mention the issue with the bats, because the hotel is truly a high-quality place. We look forward to your kind reply and thank you very much for your availability and kindness. We can also talk in person since we are actually in the hotel. The guests may not be used to seeing / hearing bats in the wild, but they are all over Mahe and these statements are completely incorrect. The facts are that the AC and phone were working properly. I don’t know why the guest says they had a problem opening the entrance door because it is very easy and the two keys are explained to them on check in. Any “problems” were not reported to our manager at the time otherwise she would have taken measures to rectify them. Brian .... General Manager

Verified reviewMy stay at this hotel was wonderful. The staff were very friendly, and the owner was helpful. The views from the balcony were beautiful, and the rooms were kept clean. In my opinion, the location was excellent, there was a small shop, a restaurant, and a quiet, beautiful beach very close by. It's a good idea to rent a car (available from the owner) to access takeaway options and explore the rest of the island.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect, the nicest little beaches are nearby. A little shop is a 1 minute walk, restaurants 10 m. walk. Beau Vallon and Victoria are easily reachable by bus. (Once you figure out how the application works) The view is stunning and the staff is extremely kind. Thank you guys for your hospitality.

Verified reviewLovely villa on the hill top (a very steep hill mind you), the rooms were clean, comes with all the usual facilities- kettle, mini fridge, wardrobe, a blanket, beach towels, toiletries and our room had a jacuzzi spa bath with a view! The check in and out process was seamless. The breakfast was a feast- fresh fruits, hot breakfast (need to select what you want the night before), yogurt, juice and hot drinks. The pool area is in a separate villa (5 steps across the road) and is an eye pleaser. One could stay there all day! Be good if a mini fridge was also there by the pool chairs ;) the host is a lovely kind man who was caring and supportive of our needs.
Couldn’t say much about this. Simple room spiced up with the jacuzzi spa bath. Nothing concerning as we had a nice stay. Just have to be quiet and mindful of noise so as to not disturb the other guest room (all are on the first floor)

Verified reviewWe had a great stay here. Location is perfect - just in front of 2 beautiful beaches. The owners are very friendly & helpful. They have a car rental possibility at the hotel: good prices + flexible pick/up & drop off options, which made our stay very easy. Brian picked us from airport with our rental car - and we also enjoyed the drive as he was sharing many stories about the island. We can highly recommend this place and would come back :)
Nothing, everything was good

Verified reviewEverything. Room was spacious, clean with amazing views. Beautiful fruits trees all around, which makes it nice for bats observation. Sunset views and swimming pool on a nice location. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was big and delicious. You got everything needed. Staff and owner were super nice and very helpful. Trying to make our stay the most comfortable possible. We booked one night a dinner also, was very yummy. Close by nice beach reachable also by foot. Supermarket close by. I think they provide the possibility to rent a car. Also have some recommendations about taxi drivers. A possibility for a late checkout is also possible.

Verified reviewBeryl and Brian are great hosts making the stay a very personal one. We enjoyed their flexibility allowing us to upgrade to an executive room. Generally would recommend one of the standard rooms over the apartment, unless you are into self catering, as the rooms have a nicer view and are generally a little higher standard. Don´t miss their great breakfast on the balcony - made fresh to your personal selection. We also enjoyed the tips on travel and restaurants, overall a great stay to finish our vacation. Free wifi in good quality available as well - not a given in all places! If you need a rental car, Brian can take care of that as well ... and parking is available in front of the house too.
All has been great - there are not many restaurants or beaches in walking distance - but that we know beforehand and we had a car. So if you don´t plan on being mobile the location might not be so perfect to you. If you have a car it´s great as it is nicely located, short drive to beautiful beaches and you can enjoy the sunset on your private balcony.

Verified review- rich and variable breakfast - attentative staff - tiny and cozy beach in proximity with reasonable snorkeling - nice view and generously spaced balcony - mango tree right in front of the balcony, good for fruit bats observation
- access road is quite steep and could scare some unexperienced drivers (really need to go with 1st gear) and foot access for people with reduced mobility is impossible - sometimes illogically placed power outlets and lights switch - breakfast could be lengthly, as each meal is individually prepared
