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.).

SpainIn Mahé is always better to rent a car but you can also move around by bus and Beryl will let you know cool places by bus.
Beryl has a very beautiful house and garden and from the first moment she made me feel at home and as if we had known each other for a while. We had nice chats and she was always making sure I was back at night at her place. For a female solo traveler I recommend this place 100%.

Germanythat we had to leave 😢
We spent 15 wonderful days and nights at The Orchard Holiday Home. And it was fantastic! The house is very clean and cosy and Beryl and Alam do all the best for their guests! We had a room on the 1.floor with a balkony and a wonderful view to the sea, the garden and the mountains. We spent much time together, because we liked that... but everybody has the privacy he wants in this house. There are many different places to sit and relax in the house and the garden. Sure, there are some rules for the guests. But we think that's important! Alam is a very nice guy, who cleans the house and the garden every day. And we know, he's a very good cook! Beryl, thank you for everything... for my first golf lessons, for our sunset evening with a beer at the beach, for our good conversations, for the fun and the laughing, for all your funny stories, for the massage in Chantalle's Salon (ask for that!), for the great food and the fresh fruits of your garden! We miss you and your house and look forward to come back soon! Anke&Peter (The man with the screwdriver) from Germany

Wonderful home with beautiful garden and outside area. Spacious room with big balcony and clean bathroom. Beryl was an amazing host, she had helpful tips and was always very kind and charming. The house is located on the quiet west coast as perfect spot to discover several beaches nearby. Thank you for having me!

New ZealandMy partner and I bonded with Beryl and her staff very well, although some tourists might think she is picky about guests following the house rules.
Didnt have a pic of the bathroom as booking.com wants but wanted to highlight other pics and videos about the Orchard Holiday Home (wishful). Beryl is an amazing host, the place was very well maintained, clean and tidy. Besides the ambience and hospitality, the nearby views from the location were gorgeous as the fruits from her garden are beautiful if you visit in season.

Czech RepublicBeryl is absolutely wonderful, very kind, helpful, warm hearted person. We felt like home. The accomodation is very clean, neat, organized. There are some rules that make absolute sense and are acceptable for people with basic good manners. Nice location, bit up the hill (can be uncomfortable for someone with no physical condition), but its just few hundred meters. Very calm location with beautiful empty beaches. Wonderful garden with ton of fruit and Beryl always offered some to taste. Very safe place. Definitely recommend 🤗 The kitchen was free to use for making a coffee, tea, using dishes, plus there was small fridge in our room. (We didn't pay for using the kitchen for cooking, which was another option). AC and fan in the room, we only used the AC before going to sleep to cool down the room, but for night time the fan was enough. Bathroom was big and clean.

Czech RepublicWe simply loved Beryls Orchard Holiday house! The place is in strategic position, in calm part of Mahe, surrounding by beautiful nature. From our room we saw mountains and sea. The garden with fruit trees was amazing, Beryl gave us fruit from the garden on the breakfast and she was helpful all the time. Room was spacious and clean. We would stay here again, it is really lovely place. I think it is good to have a car, because house is on the hill. Bus station is down, it is also option, but you have to walk for several minutes.
