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.).

United KingdomHosts Kemi and Fred couldn't have been more welcoming. Kemi was absolutely brilliant with my small children who were tired after a long journey, she went out of her way to give them a fun time and show them the local animals - pets and wildlife, we were thrilled to see a massive wild tortoise. Fred was available via whatsapp at all hours. The house was hot but the bedroom air-con helped. The hosts sourced two bikes with child seats for us; helmets were not offered but that seems normal in La Digue (we didn't see any others). Everything in La Digue is very expensive, the guest house felt like good value for us. Good location a few minutes walk from the ferry harbour and even closer to Bikini Bottom beach.

GermanyI think the only thing I didn't like is that the house has air conditioning only in the bedrooms, the living room was therefore very warm. Besides that everything perfect!
The place is just perfect! The beach Anse Severe is one of the most beautiful places to do snorkeling and just a 3 minutes walk away. The nearest grocery store is more than 1000 meters away, but the staff gave me a bike to go buy some water and stuff for my kids the breakfast was also perfect and the service AMAZING 🥰 She is so nice with the kids and with everyone 🥰

Romaniaeverything is superlative. we were accommodated in a villa with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, air conditioning in each bedroom, cleanliness, kitchen equipped with everything you need, terrace, tastefully decoration furniture, breakfast included and very tasty, those who maintain the accommodation unit with a smile on their faces, eager to help you, bicycles rented from the accommodation at a great price, transfer included from the port, 5 minutes on foot from Anse Severe beach, which I recommend you go to when the water is low and clear, and 10 minutes on foot from one of the most beautiful Anse Pate beache. To the famous Anse Source d'Argent beach, 15 minutes by bike. I strongly recommend this property!

GermanyThe bed in our villa Kara was not ideal for me as you sank in quite a lot and then it was really hard to move.
The apartment is really nice and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast is really good with eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, juice etc. And a lot. The apartments are about 5mins from the beach. They are located around a small square where all terraces are facing each other. We didn't mind as we had a kid that was running around and there was another family with a kid so they could play with each other.

AustraliaComfortable simple self-contained accommodation with bedroom air conditioning. I didn't use the self-catering facilities but they appeared well appointed. A bit further out of town/north than might suit some, but perfect for me and very close to Anse Severe. Offers bike hire which seemed reasonable price considering appeared better than average model. Kindly allowed a chance to shower after checkout.

RussiaEverything was perfect! As everyone has already mentioned, the breakfast is very hearty and delicious. The room is spotless and is cleaned daily. The cooking corner is well equipped. The staff could not be friendlier! Always available and happy to help. They made our stay very special. Many thanks for the very early breakfast they arranged for us on the departure day. Highly recommended place to stay on La Digue and I guess one of the best price-wise.

Hotel is located 3 minutes walking from Anse Severe and it's maybe 7 minutes to the closest cafes and minimarkets. They serve free breakfast that's also important on La Digue. Staff was friendly and helpful, special thanks to Kami

SloveniaMattres was sooo comfortable. Good breakfast (same everyday, but good). Kitchen well equipped. Everything very clean. 5 min walk to a beautiful Severe or "sunset" beach, quite a walking distance to the grosery store. About 15 minutes walk from the ferry terminal. There are bikes to rent.Most travelers explore the island by bike. We don't ride a bike, so we asked Mr Fred for alternative. He offered a day trip by electric buggy car. It was worth the price. He took us on a whole day trip all around the island. If you are not a biker, this is a great way to explore the island. Highly recommend. You can arrange with Mr Fred as well transportation to and from the ferry port. Mr Fred is a great man, kind, friendly, informative with a wonderful sense of humor. His assistant Kenny is wonderful too. Thank you both for a memorable stay!!

PolandThe reason for our booking at Island bungalows were high rankings and we were not disappointed. Some 15 minute walk from the location to the center of the village. 100 meters to the Severe beach - quite safe to swim and a wonderful beach. Breakfasts are rather modest but they are enough to get the day started. The cottage was impeccably clean and the mattress very comfortable.

RussiaMy husband didn’t like that it is located near cemetery. Most bikes given for rent are really old and broken. Also we were told bike rent would be 300 rupees for two people for two days. But next day they said it is 600, “sorry for mistake”. You can’t do it.
The location is very good - a walking distance from a ferry. Also has few beaches nearby. The bungalow has a beautiful garden view, a lot of greenery and flowers. The bed arrangement is beautiful. The wooden window frames are one love. The breakfast is ok.
