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...).

CanadaWe did not like at all that there was NO IRON in the room. If you wanted to iron your clothes it was a paid service that they offered. Which is just ridiculous. I also did not like that there was no non slip mat at the shower. I am 30 years old, so it is not an age thing, but I almost died twice slipping In that shower. so please be careful. We also were quite disappointed that the hotel did not acknowledge or try to do anything special for our honeymoon. I had noted in several booking note locations that it was our honeymoon. They were the only hotel we stayed at that did not acknowledge that. We also wished that they had more nights with a a la carte menu.
We loved the hotel and the decoration/vibe of the hotel. It was in a good location as well. It was hard for us to use all the facilities of the hotel as it rained the entire time. We loved the view regardless. The creole buffet was fantastic, as was the a la carte. We also liked that they had water sports available, even if we did not get to try that out. The breakfast was excellent as well.

United KingdomWe stayed half board and would comment that the evening meal is a buffet sometimes. The buffet is good, but we found the set meal was excellent. Also drinks and water are extra, so you will run up a bar bill during your stay.
Hotel L'Archipel is a wonderful hotel with brilliant views over the bay to Anse Volbert and St Piere islet. The location is picture perfect - with views of the aquamarine sea and green hills in the distance. The room was very spacious and had a nice balcony at the front. One restaurant is right down on the beach and is a lovely place to have breakfast and look out over the beach. The beach is lovely with the classic Seychelles rock formations at the side. We asked for a late checkout and they arranged this for us at no extra charge. The staff were very friendly and the guy looking after our room (from Nepal) was brilliant.

United KingdomThere isn't much in walking distance of the hotel and you're reliant on taxis. We also would've liked to see reusable water bottles in the room - seems silly in this day and age to still be supplying multiple plastic bottles. Also couldn't turn the air con display off overnight, meaning the room was lit up and disrupted sleep
We travelled as a couple and loved our stay at Hotel L'Archipel. The hotel is clean, modern, comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The pool is great and we could always get a sun lounger. The beach is also practically private and there are free watersports (kayaking and paddle boarding) available from the hotel. There are some good snorkeling spots too - we saw a turtle, couple of baby sharks and a stingray! Best experience of seeing these animals and free! Food was great too, plenty of choice and everything was fresh

AustriaWe are not a fan of buffet food in general so we would have preferred the restaurant to serve a la carte every night, but they have theme nights every other night and then only serve buffet. However the food at the buffet was good just not our preferred type of enjoying a meal.
Wonderful hotel if you want to relax and enjoy the beauty of Seychelles stunning nature. Exceptional views from almost everywhere in the hotel. The staff is really really nice and clearly wants to make your stay exceptional, which it absolutely was for us!

Wonderful location, the view from the room is breathtaking. The hotel has a private beach in the bay with very calm and clear waters (no big waves compared to other beaches on the island). The staff is very nice, always looking to help with anything, cleaning staff does its job very well, and the food is great! You will not want to leave!

TurkeyWe stayed in a deluxe room with breathtaking view of sea. The hotel is very nice, calm and clean. The lizards were in our room (5 of them :)) and we called the reception to help us take them out. They are very helpful. The room was very comfortable with a king size bed, spacious place. Outside the hotel there are no restaurants so it is a good idea to have dinner included. The food was also very delicious.

United KingdomA map of the local area (walking distances etc.) in the room would have been useful Would have preferred further reduction in plastic: - water jug(s) in the room to refill bottles rather than 2 new plastic bottles every day - non-plastic slippers. We opted not to use them as they were plastic (and would slip as a result!) Restaurants: - it would have been good to have the menu available to view (online or at / outside the restaurants) - honey at breakfast would have been nice (for bread / toast and adding to yoghurt) - option to eat at the pool bar would have been good (particularly during the time between lunch and dinner services)
Our room was beautiful, bright, spacious and kept cool. We had a view out to sea through the palms, and a small seating area (2 chairs, table) on the verandah. Be careful of the red-brown sandflies - we left our outside light on by mistake one night a lots gathered there and got us next day! The room was cleaned daily, water bottles replenished and towel & flower art on the bed :) Breakfast was good - service was slow some days, but food was good and buffet was restocked on request. Cereals, warm pastries, bacon, tomatoes, beans etc, pancakes, breads, yoghurts, fresh fruit, juices & water. Eggs cooked to order and tea & coffee too. Tables are set inside (with walls folded back) and also on the beach - doves are constant visitors to the beach tables (we liked but some guests did not), they came inside less often. The reception staff were really helpful & friendly - arranging taxis, changing currency and dealing with queries. The hotel is quiet and has pretty gardens - the hillside means a lot of steps to / from the bar, pool, restaurant and beach to rooms, but the height gives the views! Location is a fair walk to the main cote d'or restaurants etc. but the quiet and calm beach made that worthwhile for us. We ate at the hotel 3 times: - a la carte menu was quite limited in range for us (hence only choosing that once) - room service was not swift but food was hot and good - the chef's buffet had a very good selection of starter, main and dessert options so was a lovely meal The Anse Gouvernement beach at L'Archipel was beautiful - white sand, very little seaweed. Beach desk offered towels, snorkel gear, life jackets and kayaks. The water being so calm, shallow and clear a good way out, meant that even as a non-swimmer, with a life-jacket & snorkel mask and holding my husband's hand I was able to snorkel along the rocks to the right and we saw lots of different fish.
