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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

GermanyYou could hear music from the nearby hotel but that stopped around 11pm, so it was not a bother.
The place was clean and comfortable. The room was on the 3rd floor with a nice view. You could hear the waves from the ocean. Very close to the beach and bus stops. The host was nice, and gave sweets for Diwali.

AustraliaLoud music sometimes at night from the big hotels. Noise from a pump coming on at unpredictable intervals can be irritating if you have trouble nodding off.
Unlike the bland four star hotels nearby, this place has a magical architecture and the rooms are colourfully and imaginatively presented. Comfortable beds and furniture, great kitchen, perfect shower, short walk to beach and buses.

South AfricaThe only thing i didn't like was the swimming pool downstairs, which had no guard rails around it for safety especially to kids, since we had a 4-year-old who likes or is used to play outdoors, but other than that, it was superb.
The area was quiet, stone-throw away to the beach. The owners are very caring people and always there for help and offers some great suggestions on how to go around the island.

United KingdomNothing to dislike - spent 7 nights there in total comfort
My wife and I loved staying at Villa Kissen - lovely building - we stayed in the front one of two similar buildings in a double room, with cooking facilities, on the top floor with terrace to the rear. Room was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. Small pool attached to rear villa with sheltered sun terrace - we didn’t need it as beautiful beach was so near, 5 minute walk. Supermarket 5 minute walk. Kissen and all his family were super helpful and cheery.

United KingdomThe apt was really basic and self contained. The air con was really old, noisy and blowing cold air on top of the bed. The new air con was there, but hadn’t been fully installed yet. So we were told. We hardly got any sleep. Although it said that the property had private parking we ended up having to park our car outside in the public street, as the only available car space was taken by the owner. The flat could do with a bit of a ‘refresh’ and some thorough cleaning. It felt old and outdated. Although we booked and paid for 5 days we ended up leaving earlier and splashing out on a more expensive hotel for our last couple of days in Mauritius.
Quiet location, short walk to public beach. The owner (mr. Kissen) was really helpful. We were able to check in at 3am in the morning after our flight was delayed for over 4 hours!

South AfricaCleanliness was a problem. The bedroom curtains, sheet and walls was dirty. I have photo's of the curtains and sheets. The kitchen cupboards, fridge and microwave needs a thorough cleaning. The toilet blocked on our 2nd day. There was only 1 toilet roll. The toilet roll was not used in 1 day as per the owners response. We also had to request for the place to be cleaned on the third day. Towels was only provided then. We moved out on the 4th day after we paid for 7. The wall plugs are filthy. The place needs a serious upgrade. Cleanliness more than anything. If something is old it can still be cleaned. (the owner says the fridge, microwave and plugs are old) And the restaurant does not exist anymore since covid according to the owner.
It was in walking distance from the beach snd restaurants and public transport.

United KingdomEverything. I highly recommend this accommodation. Lovely family running this hotel. It's very clean, very comfortable, safe, very close to good supermarket and nice bakery. Good internet, hot water. I felt like at home. I organised for a day trip with the owner on the island, and I was able to visit everything I wanted. I also think they have the nicest beach on the island.

SerbiaWe liked pretty much everything about this place. It's comprised of a bedroom (a comfy double bed and AC), a bathroom and a sitting/dining room with a TV (which we never turned on :)) and a fully equipped kitchen (large fridge, gas, microwave, coffee machine...), as well as an extra single bed. We slept well, we liked the esthetic of the place and, even though we weren't cooking, having an actual kitchen came in handy on a couple of occasions during our stay. The location is really nice. It's in a quiet little street (biggest source of noise - chirpy birds) that's only a few steps away from one of the best beaches on the island, as well as some nice restaurants and one of the main supermarkets in the area. We also have to mention the host, who is an absolute treasure. Relaxed, kind, at hand whenever he can (text at random hour: "Do you have some clothes pegs we could borrow?", two minutes later there was a knock at our door and there they were). Do not miss the chance to try out his restaurant for some tasty authentic food! We ended up going a second time and it was probably our favourite meal of the whole trip (which really says something as food is generally great in Mauritius). Don't hesitate to ask for help organizing an excursion around the island either, we ended up spending a lovely day touring the south together.

Incredible value for money. My apartment had everything you might need for even a very long stay. Fully equipped kitchen with absolutely everything you can need, new, ecological AC, comfortable bed, enough space to host up to 3 people. I absolutely loved the decoration and overall vibe of the studio. The location is also perfect, very close to the beach, bus stop, shop,... And most importantly, Mr. Kassim was really kind and helpful and so was his family. I really felt great at this place and would love to stay longer.

Photo attached throwing my luggage on tar road after police told them to be honest and let me pay MR5000 and not MR14 000.
