How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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 wi-fi was extremely unreliable. The shower unit leaked into the rest of the bathroom area. The hotel does not provide complimentary bottles of drinking water.
The breakfast selection is good. Breakfast starts at 0600, which is ideal for organising day trips away from St Louis. The bar and restaurant have a pleasant ambience. There are several cafes and restaurants nearby.

The hotel has an excellent location in the heart of the colonial quarter of St. Louis island. Our room was clean, smart and comfortable although slightly on the small side. Breakfast was pleasant, continental style plus a choice of eggs. The hotel has a bar which also has limited food options. Parking is on the street outside and monitored by the doorman.

Staff a bit lackluster. Rooftop hasn't been cleaned in a while, so eating breakfast up there is nice with a view (after taking your tray up the stairs) but not very welcoming in between the bird poo. Cocktails not great in the bar, better stick to wine or beer. WiFi very poor. Due to the architecture, when there is entertainment in the patio all the rooms will hear. There's no buffet breakfast due to covid measures, and only one staff at breakfast time, so it can take a while to get served.
Great location in the middle of the colonial town, so very easy to walk to restaurants, shops, museums. Old-time hotel that retained its charm, while having updated services (bathrooms). Very comfortable bed and excellent shower. The yoghurt at breakfast is fantastic.

The room was way too small for a double. Circulation inside it was difficult. There is some maintenance to be done in the bathroom (nothing major but can bother you a bit). The reception in the morning (probably busy) made some mistakes, forgot to ask for cleaning when they said they would. They also said they would give us a mop (as the bathroom had few minor leaks near the WC and the joint of the glass panel was leaking too) but forgot about it.
Some people were helpful. Cleaning staff is friendly. Dinner was good except some dishes. The decoration is beautiful.

The pool table was broken and it was quite expensive compared to places round about
The breakfast was lovely with omlettes, fruit, cheese, meats, bread and crepes. The hotel itself had alot of character and the staff were very attentive. The man on reception actually arranged for me to get euros changed and got them delivered which was really helpful. The decor was pretty cool and there was a big TV in the bar

I think that the price is overcharged for the tiny room, which was not giving me the impression of being clean. The toilet was so small even me (I have a normal size/weigh) could hardly use it. The WC was almost falling off (and I am not heavy). The restaurant/bar and lounge area are nice but the rest needs to be improved or the price reduced.
