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 StatesI don’t have anything to say about what I don’t like but if I HAD to find something to say, breakfast had loads of options but most foods either wasn’t as tasty, was dry, or hard.
Absolutely everything. Mainly the spacious rooms!

United KingdomTypical of many Maldives locations, but especially of top brand resorts, things could be a little pricey but you just have to factor that into your trip and enjoy the fabulous resort.
Service was impeccable and always with a smile. Staff were superb. Overwater villa was large with great amenities and facilities. View was great. Sea life was great. Food was very good. Housekeeping and restocking twice daily was always very thorough.

AustraliaEvery aspect was absolutely amazing, from the service to the whole experience itself, all well considered and worth the money. All of the staff members were extremely genuine and considerate of visitor’s comfort and the breakfast had a great variety with delicious pastries. The experience of riding bikes across the island and swimming in the private pool (which was beautiful, right outside was the ocean) is a memory we will never forget. Just like a dream. Overall, would come again!

Switzerlandif you have half bord you get a 100 USD credit for the dinner. Minus tax you have at the end only 80 USD per person. But if the food cost 300 USD then you will pay ALWAYS much more than your credit is. Beverages are also not included in this 80 USD. Normal (not special) food is also too expensive. At the end the Price-performance ratio for food is not good.
- beautiful island - great breakfast

The vacation was wonderful and heart filling. Comforting and kind staff with quality service. This resort can be the one and only unique resort because of its location and beauty. Maybe you will think it's an overpriced place. But believe me, it's worth every dollar you will pay. I would like to give a special thanks to Mr. Sayyah our friend from the resort, who helped us like a family and a close friend. He went through all the obstacles to serve and provide us with full statisfaction during our stay. Thank you so much and much appriciated.

SwedenOur stay at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives resort for our honeymoon was really nice and we enjoyed every moment. Everything was really good. The staff is excellent but we have to give extra credit and a big thank you to our personal concierge Tanissa! She helped us with EVERYthing from start to check out. She was very kind and whenever we contaced her she was always available, no matter what time it was. She definitely made our stay so much better. Best romantica experience is definately ”Cinema under the stars” if you go, you have to try it 🥰 Loved this Place!
