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.).

United StatesNothing not to like about La Belle Etoille. My only recommendation is that the access road to the location should be paved. That's for the town of Saly to do, though.

United KingdomLocation - it is a little out of the main part of the town so transport is advisable. We were there towards the end of the rainy season so the road just outside was understandably muddy with large puddles after heavy rain.
Amazing staff that worked there. They absolutely made the stay. Very helpful above and beyond what you would normally expect. They genuinely wanted you to enjoy your stay. The pool area was clean, comfortable and relaxed.

Sierra LeoneInternet was unreliable at times but that was probably the universe telling us to relax and not do any work :)
Our stay was a very welcome break from our usual daily routines and just what we needed to unwind. Very quiet and very peaceful atmosphere. Staff were all fantastic and saw to it that all our requirements were met. On one evening we couldn't get our usual taxi to the beach and the owner of the personally dropped us off there. That was a lovely touch. On another day we fancied some local food that was not on their menu and we had been told it's unavailable. To our pleasant surprise the chef later prepared it for us and it was so delicious. At times it felt we were the only guests there.

FinlandThe dinner menu could have been a bit better. We tried it during the first night and it was okay, but nothing special. But on the plus side, the dishes were big!
Hotel was very pretty and relevantly small, but suited us very well. It was really beautiful place and our room was like a dream! The staff was very helpful and kind which made our stay even more delightful. Pool area was also very calm and peaceful for laying around and for enjoying the sun. And the Wi-Fi worked very well so that was a big plus! :) For the breakfast I liked that on the second morning, the staff had made a buffet where you can pick up the food you want yourself, instead of brining everything to the table and then basically there is a lot of more waste when you can't eat everything you have on the table.

BelgiumThe only minor thing is the lower pressure of the shower and talking to the landlord it seems that this will get addressed. Mainly due to some maintenance projects being paused due to Covid.
The location was fabulous. Great place to escape from work routine. The staff is sympathetic, listening, and adapted to our needs. They did connect us with a local safe and reliable driver for our downtown commuting. The food is tasty. We also took a massage session and benefited from the magic hands of Germaine. I literally fell asleep at the end, very professional, clean, and relaxing. If you are seeking a calm, quiet place - we highly recommend it and will not hesitate to come back.
