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.).

Czech RepublicWe found no reason to criticize this accommodation. The only minus is perhaps the fact that the stay lasted only two weeks - if time and finances allowed, we would have liked to stay longer :-)
We chose the accommodation mainly with regard to the price (Seychelles is generally not a cheap destination and our holiday budget was quite limited). Despite the low price compared to other options, the accommodation "La Residence" exceeded our expectations in every way! We chose the apartment on the ground floor because it is a little bigger than the studio upstairs, so we gave up the perfect view of the bay directly from the balcony - but that didn't matter, the scenery and the surrounding garden (perfectly kept) were still beautiful. Directly in front of our terrace on a big mango tree, I observed a lot of fruit bats every day, geckos running on the walls, sunsets over the sea - simply fascinating nature! The apartment is furnished quite simply, but that's okay - the photos correspond to the reality, we didn't miss anything essential for the stay. Large functional fridge, gas stove (we had self-catering), plenty of electrical sockets (don't forget the adapter - they are UK type, like everywhere in the Seychelles - but the 2-pin EU plug can be used without the adapter), large and clean bathroom, comfortable beds, mosquito net (it wasn't even needed, there aren't too many insects here), air conditioning and fan also available. Of course TV and functional WiFi. Basic maps and information available in the room. The accommodation is located a little away from other buildings, in a quiet place, in nature. The staff is very nice, friendly and helpful. Cleaning takes place daily (thanks to the lovely cleaning ladies), a responsible security guard guards the area at night (thanks, Mr. Michel :-) and Mrs. Mayna at the reception is happy to answer any question, print out boarding passes, etc., etc. (thank you very much, too). Overall, me and my family are ABSOLUTELY satisfied with this choice of accommodation - the stay was very pleasant and excellent value for money. We would come again without hesitation.

BotswanaWe stayed in one the simple but spacious villas which was kept very clean and enjoys beautiful views over Anse a la mouche bay. Two bedrooms with plenty of storage space and equipped with fans/ACs. Loved having breakfast and dinner on the little terrace outside the villa, listening to the birds in the lush garden and tropical forest behind the property.

RussiaOne moment to improve - the absence of staff. Almost all the days of our trip there was no staff available in La Residence. On weekdays they are in place till 4 p.m, on weelends they do not work. Also they do not offer you their mobile number to keep in touch, so if you need some help immediately or any questions about your stay/room/equipment, obviously you won't get it.
During our stay we lived on the second and on the first floor. Emotions were different depending on the comparison with manifestations. I highly recommend upper floor due to excellent view and space room. Room on the 1st floor doesn't have such a nice style. Otherwise - quiet and comfortable accomodation with nice staff and beautiful views from the balcony. We traveled by car, so it was a pleasure to stay there.

Czech RepublicThe only things i can mention are, that the fridge was very loud time to time, as well as the fan on high speed. (Not a big deal) The water pressure was quiet low, so washing the sand off took a bit of time. I'd recommend to carry a flashlight or phone light if you walk at night, because you walk about 100m on the road to get on the sidewalk. Non of these had a negative impact on our stay.
Very nice apartment, clean and spacious. Stunning view, close to beach and bus station. We had our own kitchen and balcony. The village itself isn't really crowded, so there is not much to do, the sea is very shallow, only two tiny shops, two restaurants and one local food truck. But it's great location if you want to travel around. We went to local beach, then anse royale and baie lazare, which was the most beautiful place. Buses go quiet often. The staff was very kind and helpful, room cleaned every day. Really very kind people 😊

MaltaOur plane landed at 7am, we got to La Residence by 8am and the apartment was not ready, Of course we'd read the fine print, informed La Residence and knew that in a worse case scenario we might have to wait. In the end we waited till 1pm. When you're jet lagged and travelled a long way, there's no real place on the premises or in the vicinity where you can 'wait' in comfort till your apartment is ready. The other issue is that you are of a slightly advanced age, walking up to La Residence from the main road is challenging! But these are small gripes. I would stay here again.
It's a decent, clean, airy space from which to strike out and explore the Seychelles. However you need to hire a car - otherwise you are dependent on incredibly expensive taxis or buses - which are fun, but irregular, and you do take your life into your hands a bit.
