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):
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.).

IndiaProperty was under renovation, AC was not efficient.....took very long to cool. TV was present but Tata sky was not charged (even basic pack).
Pool was good, rooms spacious, veg food was average - avoid pizza, non-veg food was good. A bit expensive though.

IndiaThe restaurant service is a bit slow which I feel can be improved
We had a wonderful experience staying at Coral Reef. We spent 3 nights here. The rooms were clean and the property was well maintained. The staffs were very helpful and well behaved. Specially the cab driver Ram Kumar assisted us a lot and we had wonderful time travelling around. . I would strongly recommend this resort.

GermanyThe party music, which was continuously played around the pool arena between 11am and 10.30pm, was very loud and disturbing (especially in the evening) and no possibility to turn it down - might be better for rooms outside the main pool area.

AustraliaThere were few insects (which is natural, and there is no complaint) but maybe they can add some insect repellent creams in the rooms as some people may have allergic reactions.
Having it’s own beachfront is really a plus point and the facilities being offered were plenty.

United StatesThe service is not great. And the restaurant is TERRIBLE. Service: Many times the service had to be told to do things twice (bring more water, clean the room), and there was also trash sitting outside of the room of our door for three days (the cleaning service leaves it there and expects it to be picked up by the restaurant service, which is not coordinated by anyone. They also put cigarette buds in the plates which is not very sanitary). Restaurant: Most of all, however, the restaurant is very lacking. I would strongly recommend to not book the breakfast. Every day the food was cold at the breakfast: sausages, grilled tomatoes, mixed veg, beans, idli; they only have instant coffee, which is quite clearly cheaply bought and has a terrible taste (however they also have filer coffee on the menu so it is not clear why they cant do that at breakfast); the eggs are consistently overcooked. They do not try very hard at breakfast. We also had dinner there, which was considerably better, but still bland, specifically the malai kari that comes in a ‘mustard’ sauce without any taste of mustard. It is a bit concerning for a restaurant to have more taste in a honey chilly potatoes than the main course. Overall, the restaurant seems like it does not try too hard and expects guests unwilling to leave the resort to pay for their overpriced food and drink. Unfortunately, based upon the sustenance of this feedback and their lackluster review replies, it does not seem like they are
Overall a great stay that I would recommend to others. The hotel itself is good. Hotel: Close to a nice beach. You cannot usually swim in the beach, but that is not their fault, most places on the east of the island in that part of the reef seem like that. The pool is also fantastic, and the gym is a good ambience as well as the spa. The bar staff at the pool are also super nice and great at their jobs, compared to the rest of the staff.

IndiaI know it's not in the hotel's hands - but the private beach has low tide and high rate phases every 12 hours. During low tides, the water goes so far back that only the muddy sea bed is visible. Pretty ugly to see. Ofcourse, during high tides, it's quite scenic
Great ambience. Good rooms. Hotel manager was pro active in helping us plan itenary and arranged cabs where ever needed. Can see sunrise from the hotels private beach. Restaurant staff were also polite
