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.).

AustraliaThe timbers on the boardwalk to our water villa were obviously aged and in need of repair, which meant that we needed to wear shoes to/from our vila. It appears that you are replacing the worst of the timbers progressively, however would suggest that this may need some accelerated actions. Also, we noted that a number of the water villa were in need of external repainting which does tend to make the units look a bit tired. After speaking with the Manager, we understand that there is work underway to stimulate new coral growth in the lagoon area. This is a positive step as the snorkelling experience around your resort was not as enjoyable as the experience which we had at another nearby (Vilamindhoo) report, with factors such as stronger wave action/less impressive coral being a natural factor which Outrigger needs to overcome.
The Staff were extremely friendly and kind, taking special actions (birthday message on our bed, champagne in the evening) to make it a very special holiday. Really appreciated the staff attempting to use our names when they greeted us, this was a very nice touch. Aliya was brilliant and very helpful.

GreeceFew things for possible consideration: - better alignment with seaplane company so as not to lose much time waiting in Male - room service is essential when you provide such great villas that you never want to leave from.
It was an amazing relaxing experience in a great location and with so rich sea world. Our water pool villa was in excellent state, like brand new, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our privacy, relax and great Indian food along with nice red wines of all over the world and awesome cocktails! We had also a great surprise for our 18th anniversary! We really enjoyed it :-)

United KingdomNothing to dislike, just a couple of suggestions. The staff running the excursions were very kind, professional and helpful, perhaps would be helpful to education about the wildlife we would see and how we could help to protect them going forwards. Also would be good to have palm oil friendly products in the minibar.

United KingdomEverything was perfect and as soon as we had a small issue (eg, neighbours playing music slightly too loudly, or a small fault with the lights in the room) the concierge sorted it out without any hassle whatsoever.
Excellent hotel with excellent staff. The concierge (Haseen) was exceptional throughout, easy to reach and there to solve any problem small or big. The location is incredible - the hotel is its own island. The over water villas are great and you can swim straight out into the sea. Lots of snorkelling can be done on the premises, and they have day trips as well. The food is very good, from the buffet to the restaurants. The service across the board is just superb - everyone has an excellent attitude, very helpful, always smiling and making you feel welcome. The resort is very quiet and there isn’t much to do other than the above - which we loved. It’s a very quiet place - for example, on a movie night on the beach, they have everyone wireless headphones! Overall would absolutely recommend.

KuwaitA wonderful picturesque resort and beautiful scenery all around. We had the water pool villa and it was gorgeous, spacious and so comfortable. They cleaned our villa twice a day which was a huge plus. They have many water sport activities to offer, the jet ski trip was so fun. The spa was fantastic and relaxing. The breakfast and dinner buffet and drinks were spectacular. The food was delicious. But the service in this place sets it apart from everywhere else I’ve been, the staff is super attentive, sweet, friendly and welcoming. They made us feel at home. I can’t wait to visit them again. Special thanks to Vivi Harvini who has assisted us and made sure we had everything we needed every single moment and big thank you to Mohammed jameel and Victoria who always took care of us during breakfast and dinner. And a huge appreciation for the Chef Chintaka who not only made fantastic meals but also was so nice to give me the recipes when I asked him for it. So many names I have not memorized sadly of the staff who left an amazing impression on all of us. What a fantastic management and resort.

United KingdomThe floating breakfast food selection could have been better, although there may be a choice of what you get I’m not sure, we were just advised to choose what type of eggs we wanted, be sure to make specific request as to what you want and don’t want I’m sure they will accommodate!
Don’t listen to the bad reviews if there are any, this place was literal paradise, it was unreal to see it in the flesh. Iv never experienced such a high level of care and politeness from hotel/resort staff, it was almost like being in a film. The food is 10/10 we only did the buffet once and ate the all the restaurants, but even the buffet was good, the lunch even better. Breakfast was amazing aswell. Other small things to mention, wifi is excellent and is more or less all over the island it’s not just in your room. Water villas have good sound insulation so great sleep, room gets cleaned twice a day so it’s always fresh. I was surprised with the price for food, great prices even at the the restaurants and the quality and authenticity of the cuisines were amazing. This place is a real paradise, the reef was insane so many crazy fish, baby sharks, manta rays. We were first timers and spend days researching 10s and 20s of resorts and it paid off, this is the place to go.

South KoreaThe spa center experience was very good though I would prefer not to be an onbject of active oil and other products sales strategy by some stuff member. It is not a market place but a place for relaxing.
Breakfast was on the level what you expect from a 5-stars resort. Location is good and comfortable for swimming and snorkeling. It seems that unfortunately the reef around the resort is dying but still there were lots of fishes, sometimes small sharks, turtles, sea eels, mantas.The gym is quite good as well.

United KingdomWe had a fantastic experience! The overwater villa was superb, the food was unbelievably good, and the staff was friendly. The place is very well-cleaned, with the whitest softest sand and flowers everywhere. Dmitrii was super helpful and made us feel comfortable and cared for: he was very friendly and pleasant to talk to, explained everything, gave attention to even the smallest details and somehow just instantly made us feel relaxed. He also suggested we take a spa treatment, which was fantastic. We also learned a lot from him about the Maldives, seasons, different types of activities and so on. So if Dmitrii is your manager, you are in excellent hands. They have several restaurants and a coffee shop where they sell deserts, coffee and milkshakes. There are a lot of cosy chairs to sit on, we never struggled to find a spot - be it near the pool or under a roof or with the view of the ocean. The watersport centre offers many activities, but we only took fins and did some snorkelling. We saw a lot of fish, and even a relatively large shark - it's harmless though, and we were really looking to find it, you won't encounter it when simply swimming :) The food deserves the highest review: the variety of fruits and vegetables, delicious hot dishes and bites, all sorts of souses, salads, bakery. The chiefs are professionals, everything was perfect. Literally, every detail is taken care of, all that was left to us is relax and enjoy.
