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.).

United KingdomI suppose for all inclusive there were not enough inclusive activities. Those activities that had to be purchased additionally were expensive including Spa.
The property was clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and always willing to help. After 2weeks I have forgotten some names, the reception staff , forgot our receptionist’s name, other names worth mentioning are chefs Shanta, Sanjeev, James and other young Indian chefs, servers at restaurant, Heidi, Saista, and two local male (names?), Pool bartender, housekeeper, Heidi in Entertainment and many more. We stayed in a Water Villa with Jacuzzi located on the sunset set side and it was fabulous, very well maintained. We had all inclusive package. Overall I would definitely recommend this resort.

United KingdomThe food in the soul restaurant is great for breakfast and lunch, but not at a good enough standard for dinner given the price that you are paying to stay on the island. As an all inclusive guest you can eat in the Flames restaurant where the food is lovely (much better than the soul restaurant) however the included items are limited, and the price of the non-included items is extortionate. Instead they should Consider a supplement I.e. so guests can pay the difference between included and non-included items or seriously reconsider the pricing. You can eat in Mayfair, London much more reasonably and the pricing against the standard of food is not proportionate. This means depending on the length of your stay you may be eating the same things on several days. The cocktails were not of a high enough standard given the price to Stay here- they were often quite dilute which was a shame.
The house reef at Nova is incredible, so many fish, sharks, turtles, octopus, corals. The island are doing amazing conservation work and since we last visited the reef has regenerated. This is so special to see. The water villas are beautiful, and well equipped with steps going straight into the ocean, and so much marine life in this area. The staff are incredible, they make you feel so Welcome and special and such personal touches in remembering food and drink orders, names and the bed art in the rooms. The pool bar and pool are great additions to the island and it really feels like paradise. The spa and massages are the best we have ever experienced. The excursions are wonderful and the entertainment was also brilliant- we especially loved the marine biology talks and the fire shows. This is a very special place.

SingaporeThe selection of snacks in the in-room mini bar could be better for the price. The quality of food in the paid restaurants also has room for improvement.
Service was spectacular, with special mentions for Nazeer (housekeeping), Shaista and Fitri (Soul Kitchen). Rooms were clean and snorkelling in the surrounding reefs was great.

Overall, Nova is a wonderful place. On arrival our room was upgraded to one with jacuzzi, what was super surprise. Villa on water was spacious and modern, super clean with wonderful ocean view. Lots of colorful fishes, sharks just outside. Nice reef around. Good variety of food. In all in package quite good variety of drinks. Beautifull clean beach, a lot of space for everyone. And last but not least, fantastic service - people are a great advantage of this place.

LuxembourgThe island was fantastic with beautiful villas and transparent water with baby sharks swimming around. The staff were super friendly and the quality of service was wonderful. The only thing that we didn’t like was the food. We were full board and we had a buffet for lunch and dinner but the food wasn’t that good. It was a mix of indian and French and Italian but by mix I mean all mixed in one dish.

AustraliaThe buffet food was nice but not very big/many options. If you like seafood and fish there are usually lots of options but less chicken/veg/ beef options. Important to note that you cannot bring bar drinks back to your villa to enjoy privately with the all inclusive package, which we were disappointed to find out as we didn't want to sit in a bar all day to make use of the package.
Stunning Island with all you need available for you within 5 mins walk. Great dining options (albeit quite pricey) and a good buffet. Many options for entertainment, but again, quite pricey. The whale shark experience was 100% worth the money and would be the one thing you should book and do! Private water villa with pool beautiful with all you need in the room and a large space. Staff friendly and helpful, including bar, front of house, and kitchen staff. Sid at the photography studio also took some fantastic honeymoon pictures for us we will treasure forever. We loved our stay at Nova and would highly recommend if you are tossing up on which island to stay at in the Maldives - a true 5 star experience.

United KingdomThe only thing i wish was a bit better was the fruits and salads selection on the buffet.
Staff is very assisting and kind in all departments. The rooms are very spacious, new and clean. The reef and the beaches surrounding the island are great for swimming and for snorkelling. The resort offers a lot of excursions and extra activities, which is a great touch. Overall would return and would recommend.

Hong KongIt was an awesome and fantastic journey staying in Nova Maldives. The staff were welcoming, attentive and approachable. The all inclusive package indulged us in a delectable dinner at Flames, a wide range of special and alcoholic drinks, as well as snorkelling which allowed us to explore the amazing marine life of Maldives. We also enjoyed the exclusive and relaxing ocean spa message, Euna’s singing and the music of her team members at Winks the bar. She made our stay more fun and enjoyable!

The island is a paradise on earth, we are in an amazing location with a wonderful beach. the room is very good and there are plenty of activities to do and animation, without exaggeration. the place is very quiet and we can rest with a lot of quality. the restaurants have quality and variety. From the manager Abdulla always very concerned about our well-being, even the room attendant Abbas who provided us with an incredible service and left nothing to be desired. Ali is an impeccable chef in the kitchen, he is an impressive man and tireless in satisfying every day with the best food and his delicious specialties and together with Anggle who made excellent eggs and of course James with the incredible sashimi and sushi. Sheiste knew our names from day one and was always very helpful and kind as were Shumais and Heidi. The island is fantastic, we spent 10 days but we regret not having stayed longer. We loved the experience and will certainly repeat one day. thank you all!

You have to book this resort. Seriously. You don‘t often find a hotel where absolutely everybody is trying their best to make your stay an unforgettable one and to make you feel at home far away from home. Nova is one of these places. The island is beautiful, the facilities are great and the staff is simply amazing. We would like to especially thank Chef James & Heidi, Chompy, Muneeb, Shumais, Chef Ali and Ali Anwar 🙏🏼 10/10 !
