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.).

The Apartment is spacious and very comfortable. Its very close to the beach and a short walk to the restaurants and takeaways. It was super clean and the owners are very friendly and helpful with booking rental cars, giving tips and general advice. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for a wonderful stay Murline.

GermanyThe cooking station was a bit old and rusty but suitable and the cooking pots could have ben newer. Surprisingly it was stormy and rainy Therefore we couldn't use the balcony.
This was a big house for our own. on the shop floor we had cooking area with living room and a big balcony. On the first floor we had a bed room with big bathroom and also a balcony. On both floors where a climate which worked well. The way to the beach was short and also a Market with all supply of needed food was in short distance. Restauranst could be used also from the existing hotels above the steet. The beach has white sand and is long. The service of the owner of the house was extra ordinary. Organizing a shuttle service for lower price from Airport and jetty. Helping by booking cars or giving other informations. Parking place was there. Changing of towels and bedding every second day. Everyday room service for cleaning and bed accomodation.

I could recommend it to any couple with a child - it's quiet, separated from other neighbors and very convenient. It was sparkling clean. Thank you, again!

United KingdomWe loved the property, but there was construction going on in the neighbourhood which was disturbing and loud but this did stop in the evening.
The property itself exceeded expectations as it was on two levels with a balcony attached to the bedroom with incredible views of the mountain, which we used more than the garden terrace The hosts greeted us and even provided us with some milk, bread, jam and some eggs which was a nice touch. The property was airy, very clean and a short walk from a beautiful beach and small grocery store.

GermanyWe had a great stay. Murline was a lovely and helpful host. The apartment was the best we had during our 3-weeks-Seychelles trip, since it was much bigger than expected, very tidy and clean. The location was great, since it was just a 3 minute walk to the beach and the nearest grocery shop. The beach is very touristy but since the apartment is at the west end of it, it was rather quiet there (but not too far away from restaurants and bars etc.)

SloveniaNo specific dislikes.
The host greeted us upon arrival and organised transportation from the jetty and to the airport. We requested a cot and it was organised without any problems. The apartment is located near the beach and in walking distance of markets and restaurants/takeaways. The host was super helpful and friendly (there was a short problem with the WiFi that we sorted our in no time, thank you!). The bus stations are close, also Victoria is about 20 min bus ride away. The beach is perfect for families with young kids/toddlers/infants. Overall, a great stay with minimum effort.

CanadaNo hot water on the last few days which made our morning showers interesting 🥶😂, but from my experience this isn't unusual on small islands.
Nice space for a couple, close walk to the beach in Beauvallon/Bel Ombre. Sécure, parking included, not too high in the mountains for walking, but far enough to get a good sense of local living and beautiful view of the mountainside. Owner very nice and hospitable, living on site, so easy to contact if/when needed. Daily cleaning service was a bonus. Mahé, Seychelles well worth the visit. Great island with beautiful landscape, mountains, trekking, beaches, waves, fish, great food and lovely people.

Everything was perfect about our stay at the Cove Holiday Apartment. The hosts, Murline and Gilbert, are super sweet and helpful. They had a small gathering for their 25th wedding anniversary and insisted on inviting me and my wife to join them. Murline also offered to help us get spots on the excursions to Praslin and La Digue which normally get very busy. The location is perfect, few minutes walking distance from the Beau Vallon beach. There's a nearby supermarket, a pharmacy, currency exchange office and plenty of restaurants. Highly recommended!

LithuaniaThe only thing I can think of is that the water was being heated from the sun, so during cloudy days we had no hot water, but that's a completely common approach in self-catering apartments in Seychelles.
First of all, the location. It's the heart of civilization by Seychelles standards: it's a 5 min walk from the beach, a supermarket and a bus stop; a 15 min walk from a bunch of restaurants and a 15 min bus ride from Victoria. The terrain is mostly flat, making it easy to walk, which is quite rare for Mahe. We've stayed in several more places around Mahe after the Cove and we've regretted ever leaving the Beau Vallon/Bel Ombre district – all the other places were either located on a hard-to-climb hill, or we had to take a bus to the nearest shop, or the beach was too shallow or too dirty. You can rest assured you won't have any surprises like that when staying in The Cove. The apartment itself is a 2-storey guesthouse completely isolated from the main house. It comes with balconies on both floors and spectacular mountain views (the photos do no justice to it). It's being cleaned on a daily basis, so by the time you get back from the beach it'll be as good as new. The host kindly provided us with some essential groceries on arrival, and helped us find a transfer to and from the apartment for a very fair price. Overall they were super helpful whenever we needed anything, but never disturbed us for no reason. When we come back to Seychelles, we won't be considering any other places but The Cove for our stay :)
