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 review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute Paradise — A Dream Stay in Seychelles! Staying at Alison’s apartment in Seychelles was truly a slice of heaven. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, the tranquility of the surroundings, and the impeccable hospitality. The property was spotless and beautifully maintained, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying coffee with a panoramic view of turquoise waters was sublime. Alison was the most wonderful host we could have hoped for. She was warm, welcoming, and full of helpful local tips — from hidden beaches to the best places to eat fresh Creole food. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home and had everything we needed throughout our stay. The location was ideal — peaceful and private, yet close to everything we wanted to explore. Thank you, Alison, for your incredible hospitality and for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!
Thank you Yousef. it was a pleasure having you. Thank you for being great guests.

Verified reviewEverything was as excellent as it can be. The place itself is spotless and has a great view. Alison as a host exceeded our expectations! Helped us with transfers to Victoria, as we were also traveling to La Digue in between our stay at Villa Rousseau. The apartment is spacious and has all the amenities you might need. There are plenty of supermarkets near the villa and a small beach. For someone, who likes to swim, there is also Beau Vallon Beach, 3 bus stops away, which you can easily walk. Additionally, wanted to mention Vanessa and her helper, as they were always surprising us with some treats and overall, were very attentive and helpful. We had a very lovely vacation, which we enjoyed very much! Thank you!
Thank you so much .It was a pleasure accommodating you and thank you for being great guests.

Verified reviewI like views and balcony. The balcony is very big. If you choose this hotel my recommendation you should have a car. The car solves many problems. Because buses are not comfortable their will wait long. The owner is adorable and pleasant. The flat is good and has a lot of space.

Verified reviewThe place is immaculate and perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the proximity to the grocery shop and the bus station, as well as a short walk to the nearest beach and a short drive to Beau Vallon beach. The owner, Alison, is great and friendly and so is the amazing cleaning team. The apartment has everything you need, including laundry facilities, and a breathtaking sea view. Rooms are cleaned daily. We had fast wifi and cable tv. We opted for breakfast for the first day there, and it was amazing, placed for us in our own balcony. I would strongly recommend this place and hope to be back in the future!

Verified reviewAlison is a great host, very friendly and always willing to help. The apartment is spacious with incredible views of the ocean. It is cleaned daily, which - of course - is very convenient. There is a small beach about 5 minutes from the house, if you prefer the Beau Vallon Beach, it's a 20min walk. Small grocery stores and bus stop close by. We had a great stay, thanks Alison!

Verified reviewAllison is a very nice, friendly and helpful host. We were able to get into the apartment early because it was empty on the day of our arrival. She can also help with a lot of advice where to go, what to see and how to do it. There are a few small food markets in walking distance and a bus stop just down the street (2 min walk).
The kitchen utensils were basic and need updating. We also would have liked a wider range of kitchen utensils like a coffee machine or a kitchen grater.
Dear Susanne Thank you for your compliment. I am so sorry I did not notice that the grater had disappeared and wish you had asked for it and also the coffee machine as it was available and would have instantly given you one. I truly apologise for this misunderstanding. Wishing you a very good day .
