Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomNothing, we didn't know what to expect as we have never stayed in a guest house when in the Seychelles (always with family). This property exceeded our expectations.
Bessy was a great host, so warm and chilled which made myself and the family feel very comfortable and welcomed. A good spot to base yourself in the south, with a car we could drive to some of the best beaches with ease, also a lot easier to get to the airport or ferry compared to from the north. The facilities are spotless, the tortoises are a hit with the kids and with the gated security allowed the family to feel very safe. Modern kitchen facilities and a tv with all the streaming services for the evenings we spent in. We were welcomed to use the laundry facilities and private parking. Bessy treated us with fresh avocado from the garden which we had for breakfast. All in all a great stay which we will return to most definitely.

IndiaIf you cannot climb stairs then you can go for the two bedroom house which is on the 1st floor. We did not have a problem with the stairs.
The host, Bessy was very kind and helpful. She perfectly symbolizes the Seychellois' culture. She allowed an early check-in free of charge and ensured we were properly taken care of. I was travelling with my parents, wife and infant daughter. None of us had any problem with the place or the facilities. The house is close to the bus stop but it is advisable to rent a car as Mahe public buses' frequency is not that great. The house is just a few meters from the beach which was a plus. There are three decent restaurants accessible by foot. The house had three large bedrooms with ACs in all of them and the living room. The kitchen is very well equipped and there a supermarket about 5 min by foot. The property is fenced and a garden with Tortoises makes the stay very pleasant and peaceful. I will surely recommend this place for a quiet holiday at Mahe.

RussiaAmazing apartment, huge, very spacious. On the territory trees and 3 lovely turtles. So close to the beach, not so beautiful beach like Baie LAZARE, but it is there. And very hospitable hostess Bessy. She greeted me with a compliment (papaya and lemonade), it so nice. Explained to me about transport, restaurants, take away food and stores, lent me a transport card. It's absolutely worth staying here. Thank you very much Bessy for your kindness and care 🙏❤️

United KingdomOn some days the shower was not very warm in the mornings but I’m assuming this was due to solar power.
Bessy, our host went above and beyond to make us comfortable and welcome. Our apartment was excellent and extremely spacious. Very well equipped with all the amenities you could want. A water dispenser was also provided which was much appreciated in the heat. Very comfortable beds and spacious rooms.

IsraelWe loved everything about the property and its location. Bessy was super nice and responsive. We traveled with 12 years old teenager and giant tortoises at the property were the special bonus for her. We rented a car, and traveled all over the island daily. Property was really comfortable place to start daily travels - exactly on a road that cross the island. At the same time ocean beach just in a 2 minutes walk if you prefer to stay closer one day.

EstoniaEverything was perfect.
At first when we were choosing a place to stay in Au-Cap, the reviews looked as too good to be true. But it was as good the people in Booking.com are saying- the host was simply the warmest and welcoming person we have ever met and we felt like at home. The juice and breadfruit chips which Bessy makes are the best! We stayed in four places in Seychelles and that one was by far the best plus it had turtles:). We quickly learned for example that two air conditioners are a rarity on the islands. The apartment had everything you need and more, a quiet neighborhood and all the necessary facilities (beach, shops, take-away places, bus stop) are nearby. We didn't rent a car but still it was easy to move around.

United KingdomEverything was fabulous!
Bessie is the best hostess! She was so helpful before and during our short visit. Our appartment was huge, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. We could access it on arrival way before official check in which was amazing after such a long journey. Bessie sorted a taxi to the ferry port for the next morning with Ian. Please ask her to contact him to help you he was highly reliable and friendly and picked us up on our return to Mahe and took us on a tour round the island which was fun and informative. The appartments are close to a beautiful, mainly empty beach and there are a couple of small shops and restaurants close by. I would definitely recommend a longer stay! The wildlife in the gardens was lovely and very interesting too.
