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.).

CroatiaEverything ok, only the prices are quite high on the island (eg. if you forget a sunspray or so). Also, the activities were quite expensive, but it is worth it.
Great accomodation, close to Male and the airport. Quite convenient if you travel with kids. Staff very nice and helpful, I have to say that we really liked the restaraunt, the meals prepared and the staff working over there as well. Great relaxation what you expect from Maldives.

GermanyFirst, I would like to talk about the hotel itself. I booked a room with a garden view. The room was clean and tidy, but when you enter the bathroom, the white tiles are all yellow, as if they are never cleaned or maybe covered in mold. The sink was also yellow and did not drain properly. I killed two cockroaches in the bathroom, and after that, I had to constantly check what was happening in there. Reviews mentioned that the beach was very comfortable, with beautiful coral reefs and excellent snorkeling. However, every day there was trash on the beach, such as plastic bottles, bottle caps, leftover fruit from cocktails, and other debris that had washed ashore. Honestly, I have never seen a beach like this in any other country. There were no beautiful corals to swim around, unlike on other Maldivian islands. The main beach was constantly windy with huge waves, making it nearly impossible to swim. The staff at the reception were not very friendly. Large cockroaches were running around the beach bar, and dead ones were lying under the furniture. All the bungalows looked dreary, and the people I met were just waiting to go back home. This hotel offered no entertainment during bad weather, and my child had nothing to do for hours when it rained. The internet did not work at all, not even to check emails anywhere on the island. It was very disappointing and sad to visit such a place after traveling almost a full day to get there. I do not recommend this place.
This place was very convenient because it was only 15 minutes from the airport. I was traveling with my 11-year-old child and was worried that if I booked a hotel further away, it would be difficult. The hotel had wonderful food, which was new and delicious every day. Although the island is small, it had one quiet beach and another beach with waves, so my child wasn't bored jumping in the waves.

United Arab EmiratesEverything was good considering the season.
Versatile food, something different every day. The quality of food is very good, lots of spices and dressings. Good variety of cocktails, special thanks to Mona and her colleagues. Beautiful canopy of trees over your head. The beach is quite wide, plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. The reef is very nice with all kinds of sea life. New activities every evening (special thanks to Fifi), friendly stuff, the music is nice and not loud. Good place to meditate.

RussiaJust a few things. 1. Would be nice to have a boat to Male at least 1 or 2 times a week even for an additional charge…You can’t go there by yourself to explore, you have to buy an excursion, which was around $55 per person. 2. Once I came to reception area in the evening. The lady with long hair from reception was just chatting with a couple. I was standing there for 5-10 minutes and I was not even acknowledged…That couple looked at me and then at the lady from reception and I felt like they were also feeling uncomfortable that she kept on talking and I was just standing there. I decided to leave from there and just call later. Only after I left the lady from reception run after me asking if she could assist…3.Also 2 times we were asking for water in the room and both times received it only after 1-1,5 hours and we had to ask for it second time. 4. Prices are high. A can of soda is $10.
The location is good, 10-15 mins by speed boat. I’s very convenient if you don’t want to have another flight to further islands. The property looks amazing, a lot of greenery, nice buildings and style of it. In general very peaceful and beautiful place to stay. The room we stayed was good (we had ocean view room); room has everything for comfortable stay. It was literally 1 minute to the beach. The beach was clean and beautiful, water has an amazingly beautiful color. Service was good, staff was friendly. Food variety is really good (but not desserts counter). SPA experience was amazing, massage therapist Silvia was so kind and professional.

Bangladeshonly thing that i had bad experiece with was in their speed to room service. we placed some requirements at the room and it took quite some time to respond.
What i liked? Number 1, the room i booked!! simply awesome! a perfect fit for a couple to be on your own and alone! we booked sunrise private pool beach villa and it was just perfect and beyond what I expected! simply loved it. btw, they have more than 20 such villa and probably not all of them has direct access to the beach from the room, espcially my room had a lot of trees on the beach which was like a barricade. but it worked for me as it worked as a boundary for me to give us a complete isolation. but for poeple who would like to have access to the beach directly from room, may ask the hotel for your requirement. number 2, the staffs were really awesome. everyone was very welcoming, smiling and always willing to help. number 3, the wifi! you will get wifi in almost every corner of the hotel since it is a small island. so no need to buy any local SIM. on other good parts, the food was quite good. we took half-board. the buffet bf and dinner had a decent range of food choices. for lunch we had ordered in the Bluu where you can relax on the beach side with nice ocean breeze, a spectacular view of the sea. so, overall it is a very good choice for small group, especially for couples. a small, quiet resort if you are looking for a relaxed time. it is very close to Male mainland, around 10-12 minutes by speedboat. there are also other activities and excursion options available at the hotel, but we didn't opt for anything, so cannot comment on that unfortunately.

United Arab EmiratesWe had a few issues with a small from the plumbing connected to the toilet. The servers in the Blu bar on the whole were amazing but there were a few times that they were slow due to the amount of people that they needed to serve.
The whole island was beautiful. The food was exceptional and was such a variety. Really enjoyed our tree top dinner experience and Ravi was an amazing server. He was really friendly and thorough.
