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.).

GermanyThe way to the property is quite narrow and uphill. Driving there was a bit challenging and if there is a car coming you may need to drive backwards to down as 2 cars cannot pass through. Especially in the night this can be a really nightmare.
Lenny was so nice and helpfull. He explained things we may need. Room was big enough and comfy and the property doesn´t make you feel like you´re in a hotel. You really feel home..

IsraelThe bathroom and toilet had no door so it's literally inside the room I love my wife but a bit more privacy when I'm on the toilet would have been nice. This is not a deal killer for us but some couples might have a problem with this
Great value for your money! Lenny was so nice and welcoming. He reached out every evening to make we are doing okay. The room was clean, the pool was awesome but the crown jewel is the view..OMG!

AustriaVery good location, close to some nice beaches. Rental car is mandatory but so it is everywhere on Mahe to exlore the island. Lenny is a very friendly, helpful and funny host responding very fast to any requests. Apartment itself is very beautiful with fantastic views from the balcony. Highly recommended if you want to explore the south of Mahe.

SingaporeThere is nothing to dislike. Perhaps just a suggestion, to enhance the quality of the room we stayed in. To have the bathroom/toilet enclosed as there was no door and ceiling.
We stayed in the main (luxury) house for 6 nights and loved every moment of our stay in the property. What we like? The view (from the house), its cleanliness and comfort, and the decor. A lovely space to socialise and interact with other guests. Lenny, the property manager, was very welcoming and always ready to assist, no matter how big or small our requests. He exuded warmth and kindness.

SwitzerlandPerfect place!! 🫶 main property has an en-suite rooms, for self catering all necessary utensils are in place - shared kitchen with guests (couples and family alike). super market is 5 mins by car. Petite Anse and Anse Soleil Beach are 9 mins drive from property. Property had Beautiful views from Terrace , cosy pool to chill and enjoy sunset views…just what I needed to wind down from chaotic society we all live in. hosts Lenny and team have done fantastic job. Links to all attractions in Mahe were shared on whatsapp, checking in on you if you were ok and needed any help, this saved a lot of time when you’re moving around . I would Recommend to rent a car as the accommodation is bit higher in the hills, with that said depending on your fitness level one can also walk. From Airport this property is 30 mins, 20 minutes from Ferry.

RomaniaEvery morning we had the same dilemma: to spend the day at Red Coconut, because the place is too beautiful, or to explore something new on the island? Just kidding above, otherwise, this area would have been blank.
Red Coconut will remain one of the beautiful memories of our holiday. The entire place is like a dream, where you will live in, during your staying. White walls, large windows, wood furniture, all the facilities you could think of, a wonderful garden with a nice pool and a spectacular view at sunset. The hosts are the kindest, the most friendly and careful people, always available and ready to help you. We sincerely recommend it! If you pass by also because of this review, say hi to Lenny from us, Marian & Alina.

GermanyEverything was fine, but just as a suggestion for improvement, we would like to see an optional breakfast offered, as there are hardly any breakfast options in the area. We went shopping at the supermarket around the corner, but we didn't find much for breakfast there.
Our host Lenny was very kind and hospitable. He has a very positive attitude, that is contagious. In the beginning he asked us if the holiday was our honeymoon and we told him that we are just engaged. On our last evening he surprised us with congratulations. It was such a surprise. We were very pleased. Thank you again. :) Furthermore he has given us a lot of tips on what to do on Mahé. In Red coconut we felt like we were in paradise. We have lived there between palms and wonderful flowers with a pool and a view to the sea. The atmosphere was lovely and everything was clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

LithuaniaEverything was beyond perfect
One of the nicest places I have ever visited. Everything from communication a few days before arrival to concern about our departure to other place in Seychelles was beyond perfect. The location of the apartment was very convenient - close to the shop, a few restaurants, beach, currency exchange place. The apartment itself was well equipped - there was a washing machine, flat iron, a few adapters, plenty of table games to keep the guests entertained. Seems like the hosts has thought of everything the guests might need. Our favorite place of Red Coconut was the pool - there we could not only freshen up in the heat of Seychellois sun but also to watch the most breathtaking sunsets. Big shoutout to the host Lenny - his hospitality and tips for the trip made us feel like a part of his family. Peace and love!

We have been welcomed by the guest - Lenny who was extremely friendly, therefore check in and check out were very smooth. Location was excellent and the layout of the property was perfect for our needs. It was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities that one requires (very well equipped kitchen, barbeque, terrace). We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return again. Thank you for the experience!

BelgiumNothing really. It is a perfect place and would book it again without a shadow of a doubt.
- Lenny who looks after the guests and the property is amazing. We were there in Seychelles for 7 days and met many people but hands down, he might be the kindest and most friendliest person in the whole island. - Lenny went extra mile, went above and beyond and looked after us. He also took us for a sight seeing tour without expecting anything in return. Such big is his heart. We also got a ride to the airport during our departure. - This place instantly felt like home. - The room we were in was spacious and a great value for money. - The location is to die for especially the sunset view. - The pool is perfect and you can basically swim anytime without any restrictions. - There's also 8 ball pool table, darts and other games which my wife and me played everyday. It was such a fun. - It is a self catering so everything that you need for cooking is provided. You'll also get your own fridge to keep your food/drinks cold. - The washing machine for the laundry was very handy. We came from South Africa and our clothes were quite dirty and to be able to do the laundry was amazing. - There's an outside shower in between lush green trees which is quite cool and also, bbq facility is there.
