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.).

FranceNote that when you book via Booking, even though it says « no pre payment needed », you will need to pre pay your stay. The hotel will send you a link via the chat. Found this suspiscious but turned out it was legit….
Amazing resort, very well taken care of. Full of vegetation. Not too big. Buffet is very very good with A LOT of choice. Staff is super friendly and helpful. We did the fishing trip, caught a fish and were able to eat it at lunch. The snorkelling is world class (and I dive and snorkel a lot) : we saw boxfish, pufferfish, moray eels, turtles, octopus, black tip sharks, white tip sharks, napoleon wrasse, rays, nice and healthy corals and every other Maldivian fishes you can find on the list! You can even see sharks from the pontoon. Rooms are super nice, bed is confortable, bathroom is huge. They even thought of little extras : umbrellas, rain jackets, flip flops, torch. 100% recommend.

United Arab EmiratesNothing.
The reef, the snorkelling - turtle paradise, dolphins off the reef, crystal clear water, excellent staff - polite, helpful, extremely accomodating, the brilliant food/cuisine headed by Maldivian Chef Satheeh, especially the buffet at The Spice, the water villas - private, they provide beach slippers, raincoat, umbrellas, life vest and bag, along with being well designed, environmentally friendly, are all worthy of 5 stars. The best resort of the 10 Maldivian resorts we've been to.

Truly paradise, the place is beautiful, staff were excellent and friendly. The location is perfect and the snorkelling is great. Also saw sharks, an octopus, baby eagle rays and dolphins from our overwater villa.

AustraliaPeople trying to snorkel without flippers repeatedly trod on the reef in their reef shoes near the jetty - some more obvious education in each room about this would be useful.
House reef was outstanding- we snorkeled with turtles, moray eels, eagle rays, reef sharks and hundreds of beautiful fish. There is live coral regenerating. Staff very friendly. Buffet food was varied with Italian, Indian, Asian and lots of Western options. Delicious tropical fruit. The 2 pool areas were lovely. There was a varied mix of families and people. Very relaxed vibe. No need to dress up.

SingaporeThe property seemed to be riding on its reef’s popularity and know bookings will come anyway. Excursions were next to impossible to book, the food was passable, the ac was poor and the boat ride to the resort was just hot.
The reef was amazing, the wildlife swimming past, the complimentary boat trip was amazing.

ItalyWe liked everything. Regarding the resort, the organisation let us enjoy our stay without thinking about anything. Everything is well organised starting from the arrival, the departure, the excursions and the activities during the stay. The resort facilities are well managed, charming and clean. The villa where we stayed is lovely and fully accessorised. The restaurant is fantastic, the quality and the variety of food is amazing, as well as the people working in. In general the staff is very kind and helpful. Regarding the island, we found beautiful beaches, lush and well kept nature and a beautiful reef. It was our first time in Maldives, so we have no basis for comparison, but it is difficult to imagine a place better than this. At the time of our stay there were no water villas and this has been one of the reasons we've chosen this island. The excursions have been really exciting, we enjoyed the Manta excursion, the turtles excursion and the fishing at sunset. Congratulations once again

United KingdomNothing - my only concern is this place will get fully booked whenever I want to visit again!
EVERYTHING!!! The staff were the best, super polite, friendly, and attentive. Couldn't have been better! Abdullah gave us the welcome, Haneef, our villa manager, Zanna at the bar and Binod with his delicious omelettes, gave us the best start in the morning. Apologies if we have forgotten anyone! We loved the food, plenty of choice, and variation over the course of a week - we never got bored. Themed nights are a nice touch along with the complimentary meal at Just Grill. The beach villas are perfect, and there is plenty of space with an outdoor rain shower. Easy beach access straight from our front door. Nice house reef, rocky in places, but it's great to see the fish, nursing sharks, and manta rays. Good gym with a view Spa staff very friendly and complimentary stress buster massage was amazing.
