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 Arab EmiratesStaying in this hotel was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!! Here we had everything that we were dreaming about coming to Maldives - beautiful beach with white sand and clear water, a lot of picturesque places where you can take photos, stylish interior of hotel, wonderful views from balcony and rooftop, amazing friendly staff, who always meet you with sincere smile and readiness to help, delicious food, the best massage and many many other. Special thanks to manager Sanjay who made our staying here so comfortable, he managed all the questions we came with, was very caring and did all his best to make our vacation memorable.

RomaniaThis Guest House is one of the most beautiful places where I have ever spent my vacation. The room is extremely clean and spacious, with simple furniture but very pleasant design, everything is new and well maintained. The stuff is amazing, the manager of the location took care to respond to any need, while the restaurant team was always kind and with a smile on their face. The cherry on the cake is the bikini beach in front of the location, which is very beautifully designed and not crowded (on the beach there is fine sand but for entering the water I recommend some water shoes because there are stones). Just 30 minutes by speed boat from Male is a corner of heaven.

AustraliaThe other guests smoking in the non smoking area - Those guests choose to ignore the hotels non smoking signs.
The manager Sanjay is fantastic! So helpful !! he makes travelling to the island so easy with his communication on Whats App with easy directions - even photos so you know exactly where to go for 30 min speedboat ride - straight from airport. ( 25USD pp each way)Sanjay makes you feel welcome on arrival & offers to help with any thing you need - he makes your stay easy & relaxing with all the necessary information. A/C was on in room on arrival which we really appreciated because it was very hot. Good Wifi downstairs. All his staff are extremely friendly & the hotel has a great beach vibe with a sand floor & lovely decor in the restaurant along with dining inside & out by the water. Breakfast was great. We also booked a massage which was fabulous! !!! Its located on hotel roof with a nice cool breeze - highly recommend. Plus bonus free pizza at 5pm was unreal!!!! Thank you! Its right on the bikini beach which I thought was best place on the island. Easy walk to plenty of local run island restaurants but we ate in the hotel because so easy & nice atmosphere.

LithuaniaYou have to keep in mind, that water transport operates from ~9am, so if you have to catch early flight, be prepared to pay 4 times more for water transfer. Also, bathroom was a bit small and there was only 1 towel per person (no towels for face/hands) and personel except for the administrator does not speak English well. Also, on Fridays, local club is playing music out loud, so be prepared to listen for that music from your room till midnight.
Guesthouse is located in extremely good place - beach is 15 seconds walk, water fun huts, cafes are close. Room was equipped with all needed stuff (hairdryer, shampoo, etc.). Food in local cafe was nice. Administrator Sanjay was also very welcoming and supported during the whole stay.

RomaniaAlthough good, the breakfast should be improved as there are not too many options
We enjoyed our stay at Samura. The staff is amazing and they do a great job, going the extra mile. The manager helped us with the transport to and from the hotel, he was there everyday ready to help us with any request starting with beach towels and free transport to the other beach. The room was big and cleaned everyday, and it has a nice view. They also had a barbeque and we could enjoy your dinner outside, next to the ocean

United StatesWould have loved to see some Curry items on the menu. And definitely, some spices added to the dishes. Everything else was amazing. Great breakfast w/oceanfront dining.
This was our first time in Maldives. We took a chance on Samura Panorama based on the reviews. This place is truly a gem. Sanjay is just amazing! Excellent hospitality and a 7-star service from the entire staff of this guesthouse. Best location. Pristine Clean and truly a welcoming place. Don't forget to have a lunch or dinner at the Indulge, an Italian Jaunt. Great food. We will be back.

PortugalSanjay welcomed us with a great smile and was extremely available to answer any questions during our whole stay. We booked a room with sea view and it was great, although quite simple. When compared the other hotels in the island, Samura seems to be a lot more expensive, which I was ok with until I got there and realised we could have stayed in similar places paying a lot less. In any case, we had a really great stay and I can't thank enough Sanjay for this extreme sympathy!! I definitely recommend staying here.

SerbiaThere is nothing to dislike, but there can be improvement on coffee mashine instead of powder coffee in the lobby. Staff over there is really kind and generous but sometimes they enter the room without your approval.
I loved everything about the Samura Panorama. From the hall to the room, everything was really clean and tidy. Interior is even better in real then on the pictures, its designed with a taste.

United KingdomThe cleanliness was outstanding, with bed sheets changed daily. The staff, especially Sanjay, were friendly and went above and beyond to organize a memorable day trip to a resort. Breakfast was satisfying, and the Secret Beach sunset, just a 15-minute walk away, was outstanding. Keep in mind that family rooms on the 3rd floor do not have a lift. Overall, an enjoyable experience. :)

SpainWhile the continental breakfast is generally pleasant, I believe there is an opportunity for improvement by incorporating some delicious local dishes.
The hotel is ideally located along the pristine white sand beach of Thulusdhoo with rooms having a great view of the ocean. The recently constructed hotel looks just like in the pictures, and the staff, led by Sanjay, the hotel manager, extends a warm, polite, and helpful hospitality to each guest. During my stay, I had to balance work, and Sanjay ensured I had access to the fastest internet available. The overall experience was delightful, with all amenities seamlessly functional, and the proximity of the bikini beach area right in front of the hotel added to the convenience. The restaurant offers nice food for lunch or dinner. I recommend this place for everyone who wants to have relax in a bohemian atmosphere.
