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...).

LatviaNothing.
The villa was charming. It was the only one of its kind in the area and many tourists walking along the beach stopped to take pictures of it. The feeling of the 30s of the 20th century - with old but very well saved furniture, old photographs, interior items. Good size, clean pool. Great breakfast. Very pleasant villa owner. We had a late flight and were kindly allowed to stay in the villa territory until the evening. We had a very pleasant stay at this villa and if we ever come back to Mahe, Seychelles, we will definitely choose this beautiful place!

United Kingdom- Bathroom situation, just a thin curtain offering no privacy whatsoever. Nice bathtub, probably best for a couple, as long as you do not mind peeing with smb else in the room. - Windows in the room towards the corridor with the light always on. - No toiletries, a hodge-podge of varying bottles, sizes, looks, quite cheap for the feel of the hotel - No milk or sugar left for the 2 capsules of coffee left each day. No tea or other drinks besides one bottle of water that was not filled every day - Cleaning schedule - while we were still in and out of the room so we were constantly in each other’s way - Internet although it working well the first couple of days was very unstable
- Location, beach and closeness to restaurants and bars - Hotel setup, pool, room look and size, balcony towards the ocean - The deputy manager was lovely

BelgiumNot much to say, actually. Maybe the Wifi could be a little stronger in the room, but really not a big deal.
Superb boutique hotel in an exceptional location, litterally on the beach of Beau Vallon. Just cross the garden with the pool, open the gate, and you are on the beach, 20 meters from the water at 30 °C ! Very friendly and at the same time discreet staff. Each morning, our room was cleaned up while we were hzvbing breakfast. We had a Deluxe Ocean View room which was really large, with large ensuite bathroom and nice terrace. There are only 7 rooms in the hotel (plus some in the adjacent villas), so you really feel more like in a luxurious guesthouse than in a hotel. We had diner buffet one night in the hotel, which was really good. Everything is made locally in the open kitchen. There are lots of places to dine out on the beachfront of Beau Vallon, for all budgets.

United Arab EmiratesThe only 2 things why i rated this stay 8/10 is the AC, we faced some issues regarding the AC it was cooling but also it was leaking sometimes and the fan is so noisy, the second thing its the bed and the mattress, its not comfortable and the mattress its so slim which will you will not feel comfortable. These are only the 2 things and i hope they will fix it cause we definitely gonna go back there .
Location is more than perfect, just to steps to the most of the bars and restaurants, the property its amazing and the staff also, Mr.Petr he helped us with early check in . Overall i like it and i give it 8/10

KenyaI recently had the pleasure of staying at Chateau Elysium during the Seychelles Maritime Week, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made me feel welcome and at home. The property itself is stunning, with beautifully designed rooms that offer breathtaking views of the lush surroundings and the ocean. Each morning, I was treated to a spectacular sunrise that set the perfect tone for the day. The amenities at Chateau Elysium were top-notch. I particularly enjoyed the tranquil pool area, which provided a perfect escape after busy days filled with maritime activities. Location-wise, Chateau Elysium is conveniently situated, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and beaches. Whether you want to relax on the sandy shores or engage in water sports, everything is just a stone's throw away. Overall, my stay at Chateau Elysium exceeded my expectations. The combination of luxurious accommodations, attentive service, and beautiful surroundings made it the ideal retreat during my time in Seychelles. I can’t wait to return!

There is NESPRESSO machine but not anything else like tea suger and milk. They serve you if you ask. With a little improve this can become a 5 star boutique hotel - now it is not value the money due mainly the room maintenance
