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.).

FranceI can’t think of any negatives, highly recommend!
The apartment is directly above the water. You don’t hear the road above at all which is very relaxing, all you hear is the sound of the waves! You’ll find all the amenities you may need including a washing machine which was particularly handy. Clean & modern, what more can you ask for. Easy access by car or bus. Special thanks to the staff who was very friendly and helpful.

HungaryThere was nothing we didn't like. Maybe a little place in the garden would be a nice addition, where you can sit and relax outside.
The room was perfect, even better than on the pictures. The view was really outstanding and we can't get used to it. Our host was not in the property, but communication was good and quick, she help us renting a car wich was really trouble free. The crew was really kind and helpful, fulfilling every request of ours,and even letting us checking in early as she saw my wife is pregnant and really tired after the flight. The room has equipped with everything you need for self catering, it was clean. I highly recommend it.

CanadaThere nothing we didn’t like.
Our stay at Maka Bay Residence was perfect. As other reviews point out, it is an ideal spot in the north of Mahé. It is a very well thought out concept with a perfect execution. The view cannot be any better (don’t book if the noise of the ocean bothers you!). The balcony is wide, protected from the sun and rain with great quality furniture and it is private. The entire apartment is clean, well designed and well equipped. It feels spacious. Everything is of high quality. The support from Nicole and Pooja is efficient and discreet at the same time. They tought of everything, every details. They are friendly and welcoming. The location was great for us. The entire place is safe, including the parking which is a bonus. Honestly, I do not know what I would change. You are bound to enjoy yourself at Maka Bay Residence. We sure did and we would not hesitate to book again. And again!

UruguayThe windows are not totally isolating and you can hear the sea, super nice but maybe not the whole night if you have a light sleep. Dinners were a bit complicated as no restaurants are close by, plus they close early in the island. Best option is to buy food at the supermarket and cook in the apt.
The views from the room are amazing, the bed was really comfortable and the location, close the some great beaches.

SerbiaSometimes the waves are loud, and if you are a light sleeper sound can wake you up. Location could be better, you have to walk a lot for bigger beaches or take a bus. Also to find.bigger store. It is not very suitable for walking. There are not many restaurants nearby.
The view is beautiful, and the room is very optimally built, you have everything that you need. Very comfortable stay. There is a small beach and the store near the house, and the bus station is very close by. The Internet was fantastic. The kitchen is very well equipped, I really liked that.

The owner also shared with us a lists of activities which were taking place during our stay. The room was super clean, with a beautiful view on the ocean and lot of space. It was full equipped in case you want to prepare your meals. We spent 5 incredible days at Maka Bay and we fully recommend it. It’s important to rent a car if you want to visit the island

SloveniaApartment together with the views is amazing. Parking is behing an automatic door which opens up with contactless card. Early checkin and late check out were available for us, but we only took late check out for an extra 50 eur, which was well worth it, because we were able to go to the beach for the whole day, came back, pack, shower and rest a little bit before checking out at 5 p.m. and went to the airport. Apartment is practically new, with a huge balcony/terrace overlooking the ocean. From every part of the apartment you have an unobstructed view of the ocean. Even the walk-in shower has it's own window, so you can enjoy the view even when showering :) The beach, which is not suitable for swimming, is right under the building, so you constantly hear the waves smashing into the rocks. We like the sound of waves, so we slept like babies. AC is doing it's job well to keep the whole place cool. Also wifi is working good. This was certainly one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in and would book this place again.

Hong Kongnot related to the maka bay itself but beware that the surrounding supermarket is very small (may not have all the essentials) and just be prepared that the property is a little out the way so taxi trips will be more expensive
loved the views, facilities (loved that there is a washing machine), late check out (up to 7pm) was perfect for those who have evening flights.

United KingdomLoved everything :)
Beautiful accommodation with a spectacular view! Huge terrace with a wall of sliding glass doors to make the most of the view - perfect for meals, watching the ocean and as a bonus, a tree just a few meters away which early evening, you can watch the fruit bats (aka flying foxes) land clumsily on the branches. We also saw a pod of dolphins just off the coast one morning while we were eating our breakfast. The apartment is stylishly furnished, well equipped (even a washing machine) and the window in the shower out to the the ocean offers a gorgeous view. No one can see you in the shower, but if you're feeling modest, there is a curtain too. We had a car, but there's a bus stop 5 minutes away. Right behind the bus stop a flight of steps takes you down to a lovely beach. There are shops close by too. Nicole and Pooja were amazing, so helpful and kind and on our last day looked after our luggage until we were ready to head off for our flight. There's even a shower just by the secure off road parking if you need to wash the sand off before your flight. 100% recommend.
