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.).

FranceIf I could give any advice for the resort it would be to make sure that there is a coral reef-friendly sunscreen in the store (we run out of two bottles we brought with us). Maybe it could be a good idea to ask the future guests (in the confirmation email or so) to bring the coral reef friendly sunscreen. It seems a little thing to do, but if it can help protecting this amazing place, I think It will be worth it. Oh, and please provide combs for after the SPA treatment
It has been a week since we've come back from paradise on Earth. The beauty of the Maldives cannot be described, but the amazing experience of staying at Dusit Thani Maldives, which was simply perfect, can. To be perfectly honest, almost everything exceeded my (very high) expectation. The resort is a beautiful jungle/garden and cycling through it is a pleasure for all the senses (especially in the evenings, when you can smell frangipani). We have stayed in one of the ocean villas. The views were simply stunning. The villa was very spacious and cosy, and even though the furniture is not brand new, it is full of drama. Plus, they have the most comfortable pillows my head had ever touched. The big highight-and what convinced us to stay in the resort-is the Thai restaurant Benjarong with it amazing chef and staff-we were usually attended by Novika (foodie as myself, so she could provide great recommendation) and James, who was also super nice and attentive. After having dinner at Benjarong the first night, we booked all of our meals there (with the exception for the night of Eid celebration, when we dined on the beach with live local music and dancing-thanks Sharif. I especial recommend the soft shell crab with curry - powder, the lamb chops, and my favourite dish in the universe-the Thai green curry. My husband fell in love with the dessert with water chestnuts and ended up eating it twice a day 🙂 (and of course I ended up taking the Thai cooking class). Another highlight for the foodies was breakfast. while the choices of "western" food, pastries is impressive, my very favourite (and I had it every single day) was the noodles station. Also, make sure you try the passion fruit jam which is to die for. You can always ask Mona (yet another, cheerful foodie) for recommendations. Moving from the food... Above the Thai 'restaurant is the Sata bar. My husband took the cocktail making class there and we met a very gifted bar attender Amita.

United KingdomMy only negative feedback is that they should not charge drinking water at restaurants and offer thai ice tea at the Market restaurant too.
We love that the resort feels very exclusive and luxurious. Staff goes all out to serve, very friendly and happy service. The room smelt nice and was made 2x a day with some surprises thrown in.We also like that bicycles are provided as an alternative mode of transportation around the island. Chef at the Market (Pak Danang & Pak Fiqtri) specially made an Indonesian meal for us when I mentioned that I missed Indonesian food!

very friendly staff, great bar and pool area, awesome water sports, beach deluxe villa with pool and ocean villa we stayed in both and they were both amazing in their own way. you can do lots of activity in the island - so much fun for fitness or people looking to more than just relax. whole island is covered by natural trees and greenery. the staff really tries their best to cater to your needs. the personal butler service is convenient than having to deal with reception to enhance your experience. we loved the wagyu steak mb9 at sea grill. special thanks to Soukaina (our butler), Saeed, Ishraag and all the staff for their friendly and kind hospitality.

United Arab EmiratesThe only fact I have to complain about is the frozen fish. We are in the middle of the ocean, they cought fresh fish which I saw but you get frozen fish. And it is not good, it was really not edible at all. The food in the Maldivian resorts is not really good in general which is well known but I really dont understand why they dont have fresh fish. Besides the fish the food at the Dust Thani is great but incredible pricey. A lunch of vegetarian pasta and a juice for 1 person is nearly $50 which is a bit too much for what you get. They are generous with the portions. People said the Thai restaurant is soooo good but to be honest I tried it and compared to real Thaifood its nothing and its way overpriced as well. I like spending but when you eat in Thailand food much more fresh, much more tasty and cost 10% of what they charge you feel a bit ripped off. The resort is pricey enough, no need to charge so much for simple food.
Everything is amazing about the Dusit Thani. The island is incredible green and lush and you can walk around and feel like in a djungle. The beaches are beautiful but not as picturesque as other island and you can't walk around the island on the beach as there are the watervillas in the way or the jetties. The villa is very comfy and you have absolute privacy which is amazing. The guys from the diving center are so nice and accommodating and I was very lucky that there were Mantas on call nearly every day. It is a great experience to swim with them and I have wonderful photos of those days. The trip cost $200 and you can swim with them for 45 min in the bay. In the beginning its amazing but as more boats arrive and more bodies in the water its a bit crowded. So go as early as possible. The prices for the snorkeling tours are very good and worth the money. The reef around the island is okey, you can see black tip reef sharks and turtles but the corals are not very colourful. Go to the Nemo Rock snorkeling tour, that island has a healthy and beautiful reef. I loved the small details in the beginning, you will be welcomed with a fruit basket in your villa and healthy cookies. Also they have those amazing aromatherapy candle diffuser which makes the room smell so good. The service and turn down service is great but as longer I stayed as less I felt cared for.. In Thailand I am used to get every day some small treat or fresh coconut and fruits. Fruits dont cost the world and it would be a nice gestue. The breakfast is very amazing. They have something for every taste, Chinese, Thai, Western, Indian and Arabic. The bread is okey nothing special but the immun booster are great, the fresh juice which is included and exclusive honeys are great. It is also important to mention that they do their best to have the earliert seaplane to the resort booked (I only waited 1 hour in their arrival lounge) and the last seaplane to leave so you can make the most of the day.
