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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

OmanJust the lack of food options. If you have a car, no problem!
The property is beautiful but it's up a very steep hill and if you're without transport,it's a tough climb. The property is very beautiful and peaceful, nestled in lush green tropical forests, however they only serve breakfast so getting food is difficult without a car. I wouldn't recommend a solo traveller without a car to stay here, there are very little food options in nearby Port Glaud except Del Place which is lovely but pricey for everyday foid

NetherlandsLocation is a bit different than reported at Booking.com. Search for Villa Vanilla for the accurate location. It takes 40 minutes by car to get to Beau Vallon because the road goes through the hills.
We had appartment 3 (on the top floor). Supernice accomodation, looks beautiful, nice swimming pool, friendly staff. Breakfast is generous. Fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the quietness. A microwave is available to heat up take-aways (not many restaurants in the area

SwitzerlandIf it hadn‘t been for a kind local (who apparently guides people to the accomodation every so often) we would not have found it, since the map location isn‘t correct on booking. The accomodation previously went by Villa Vanilla – so it would be great to have known that prior to out search. I‘d recomend mentioning the name change. Otherwise very friendly and great stay!
Amazing short stay „up in the trees“. We regret not having found the accomodotaion prior to almost leaving.

IndiaA few things need maintenance in the room and bathroom. After 3-4 pm. there is no staff around...especially in case of emergency, it is difficult to find someone. Although the accommodation is in an excellent location, it is really far up the hill from the main road and without a car, it is difficult to get to a restaurant or some food. (Especially for two elderly ladies) .
Location is absolutely fabulous. Rooms also nice and view absolute superb, quiet . Would love to stay there longer. Location is really excellent. Breakfast was also very good.

NetherlandsYou can’t find it anywhere The address of the hotel, we went to the waterfall in the mountains to ask for it and the man told us to write Villa Vainilla on GPS, it works! We found it this way. It's a bit difficult to get in there as it is up on a hill. Wifi doesn’t get to everywhere on the room.
Amazing hotel to relax and get use of it. Rooms are stunning, swimming pool is really good and breakfast is really good as well.

United Arab EmiratesThe location is far from Resturants so you will have to pay for taxis if you don’t have a car. They do not serve lunch or dinner or have a bar so you really have to get all supplies before you return back to your room.
The setting and rooms were exactly like the pictures shown on their site! The rooms were clean, very good AC and pool was gorgeous. Breakfast was average, fresh fruit was lovely. There was a great tour company we used called Cliff n Coast! We had an amazing day seeing all the secret spots! Highly recommend!
