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.).

NamibiaApartment needs renovating-deep clean or new paint would be great. Hot water in the shower was on/off, so worked a bit strange. And definitely needs new dishes and cups, current ones were stained, washing in hot water didn’t even help. The entrance hall where the kayaks are kept smelled bad.
Location is great, beach and shops, bank, restaurants right there. Big apartment, good linen and towels, friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed staying on ground floor, lovely patio area outside, beach beds and kayaks available. Snorkeling spots short swim away.

The apartment has a very nice view and is located right on the beach. It's very close to the pharmacy, the money exchange kiosk, shops, the beach bar, the bus stop, police station and restaurants. The facilities have a private parking spot. The people were very kind and hospitable, always available through WhatsApp. In the room we found a leaflet containing all the information about interesting cultural sites, activities, shops, etc.

EstoniaLiving rooms did not have AC. Luckyly the only apartment that had it was ours. Furniture was a bit old but the bed mattresses and sheets were clean and compfy.
Location is perfect. Right on the beach, fenced propertie so good with staying with children, direct access to beach, closed parking lot for the rental car. Apartments were big and spacious although a bit dated and most of the apartments had AC only in bedroom. Several stores, tale aways, bank, hospital, etc right nearby. All you need for cooking was also there. 2 kayaks for the use of the guests.

Nestled right by the water's edge, the apartments offer breathtaking panoramic views of the azure Indian Ocean. Waking up to the gentle sound of waves and enjoying a cup of coffee on the private terrasse overlooking the crystalline waters became a cherished daily ritual. Saul is a great host and he offered us all the insights about the neighborhood.

United Arab EmiratesJust one note - would book next time from late October because the seasons are shifting a little bit so that’s when the wind wares off completely and Anse Royal sea becomes calm .
Loved everything! From sweet and always tentative stuff, to how spacious and pleasantly furnished it was with all the amenities, especially enjoyed the perfect huge balcony with a view, to an amazing location both because it’s on the beach with the private backyard with palms, sunbeds and kayaks, to the fact that everything you need is in 3min walk - few markets, bakery , gas station etc.

PolandSoul is a very hospitable host. We have received an apartment on the ground floor, very well equipped, with an amazing view over Anse Royale. The bed and pillows were comfortable, AC was working perfectly. Location is close to supermarkets, fish market, few take aways(the best one IMO, Sega just across the street), bus stop, pharmacy etc. Soul even let us check out later due to late flight back which we appreciate a lot. 100% recommend and will stay again if someday in Seychelles.

JerseyThe only downside is we had to leave this stunning place😭😭😭
Fabulous stay! The view is to die for! You can hear the waves day and night which we absolutely loved! We visited Seychelles in November 2022 for our honeymoon. We stayed in the Aldabra appartment which is on the ground floor with access directly to the beach. You can exit from the living room or from the bedroom on the wooden deck then straight on the sand, exactly how we wanted. The property has a lovely garden with palm trees and beautiful flowers, after that you are straight on the beach. The flat is huge and we loved the big windows. Air con is fitted in the bedroom. Sanath, the host, is very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Veronica, the lady in reception, is wonderful! Thanks to her, we spent a beautiful day with an amazing local guide, very knowledgeable and so friendly. The property has 2 kayaks. Life vest is also available. Position is stunning. For us, Anse Royale was the best beach in Mahe. Ask about the snorkeling spot, which is about 10 min walk from the appartment. If you want to experience creole food, ask about the local take away, which is just across the street from the property; absolutely delicious food and really affordable. You get an incredible view at sunrise! We loved this place so much! Cannot wait to come back!

RomaniaThe only thing that we did not like, but this was not the fault of staff...the geckos...we had like 3 each night and could not take them out. We had not ideea how they would get inside the apartment but on the last 2 days we would let the light open on balcony and some will leave the room. The only issue that we had with them, is that in the middle of night they will start making some sounds that will get you up in no time. Year plugs solved the "issue" in the end.
The location was perfect, near the beach (50 meters and directly into the water). Everything that you needed in the apartment and the bed was really comfortable. The location also provides parking space for free and also cayacs if you want, also for free. Cleaning services are good, 25euro/7kg (anything dirty you have) The staff was really nice and we could talk on whatsapp if we had sny questions or problems that needed to be solved.

Everything was perfect! Location right on the beach - you can go swimming in bikini and after relax on the garden of the hotel. Staff are extremely friendly. They have kayaks - you can take it for free if you know how to use it. We have done kayaking even twice for two days - the beach is really good for kayaks. And of cause this beach (Anse Royal) is one of the best on Mahe - no big waves, clean, no low tide, snorkeling opportunities. You can find lots of shops and takeaways near the hotel. There are two markets with fruits and vegetables. We visited nice restaurant close by. Bus stop is in 1 min. We took bus to the airport - it took only 20 mins. About the room - very spacious, kitchen is well equipped (but no microwave oven), nice balcony. The hairdryer is missing and may be it will be good to have shower gel and shampoo. Everything was very clean and new. So I can recommend this apartment!

We've had a great time here. We were allowed to check in much earlier and could check out later. We really appreciate their flexibility. The apartment has a great location with a couple of shops, restaurants, bus stop surrounded. The view from our balcony was exceptional and the room was spacious and cosy. The sea was literally 10 metres away from the apartment. It was beautiful :)

United StatesThe area on surrounding the apartment isn't particularly nice, but ok. There is a keypad entry to get inside, as there is not always someone at reception. Bring your own shampoo, body soap, hairdryer, and paper towels. Safe was there, but had no batteries. We prefer waterproof barriers on the pillows and very clean pillows, but we are picky. You could bring your own pillow. There was a lot of fragrance sprayed in the place, perhaps to cover a slight sewage smell in the bathroom. Bathroom was quite dark. We also expected to have a beach facing unit, and this did face the beach, but from the corner only. Contact the property to ask which unit you will get so there are no surprises. We had the Cosmoledo room.
The host wasn't always available, but was flexible when needed and accommodating for an early check in. He was a pleasant, friendly man. The apartment was clean overall and had ample facilities. Right on Anse Royal beach, which is a very nice beach for families and good for snorkeling. Cafe Kreole is within a 1-2min walk and was the best restaurant we tried of many on Mahé (besides the Lunchbox takeaway). Such a lovely atmosphere and excellent food! That is a bonus.
