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 EmiratesFree return airport transfer using speed boat was smooth. They provided warm welcome to the resort. We had booked the sunrise overwater pool villa but we got complimentary upgrade to Sunset overwater villa with private plunge pool and jacuzzi and it's just perfect. The villa was ready and handed over the key to us 2-3 hours before the standard check in time. The room was neat and clean, spacious and amazing. We enjoyed the private pool and jacuzzi, Thank you so much to our personal butler, Anshul. He is such a genuine and nice person making sure that he arranges and provides all our needs. We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary and they provided free arrangements like bed decorations, anniversary cake, etc.. All staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the main restaurant and Japanese restaurant was awesome. Thank you so much again for making our whole stay enjoyable and unforgettable.

SingaporePerhaps the band could have a wider repertoire? And maybe just more variety for the music that was played in the restaurant. Also perhaps you could provide water shoes or sandals for walking in the water ?
The location was excellent. Private and yet close to the main food area. The food was very good and the selection of drinks on the pre-paid list was quite extensive. The staff and service was wonderful !

SingaporeThese aren’t complaints just observations. If you expect a wide range of activities and many many restaurants and bars, this isn’t the place for you. They have 3 restaurants and a couple of bars and it was honestly enough. They have activities and a Dive centre - you have to pay extra for the activities but they do have them. This is reallly just a place to relax. I would recommend they provide or you bring water shoes or sandals to wear when you take a dip in the water around your villas because the rocks and coral can hurt.
The property’s facilities weren’t in a very large space, you wouldn’t get lost. Each villa had sufficient distance from each other that there was privacy. They gave you so many things and the staff were absolutely excellent. Anshul our butler was so helpful and took care of everything. The service staff at all the bars and restaurants were absolutely lovely. There were a few free activities that you could do if you wanted to which was perfect. A completely amazing holiday at an amazing place.

PortugalNothing. We absolutely loved everything
The resort is 15 mins travel by boat from the airport which is very convenient. We booked for the sunset water pool villa with private pool and jacuzzi and it's just perfect. The room is neat and clean, spacious and good for snorkeling. We enjoyed the private pool, we've read some comments before that it's small but we really think it's just perfect for the size of the villa. We also had a wedding ceremony/Renewal of our vows and we couldn't be more pleased how it turned out perfectly. Thanks to all the employees who made it very memorable to us. We appreciated much all their effort. Adaaran Prestige is really the top from all the private resorts we have been to. All their employees from the spa and restaurants are very polite and friendly. (we went for a massage twice, it was very good and worth the price) Mr. Anthony is very professional. He coordinated everything well our wedding ceremony and he always makes sure that we would always get the best experience to enjoy our whole stay in the resort. Thank you so much also to our personal butler, Ajay. He is such a genuine and nice person making sure that he arranges and provides all our needs. Thank you to you and to that other lady for capturing our priceless moments during our wedding ceremony. We loved all the photos. Thank you also to the cleaner of our villa for the wonderful decoration in our villa on the day of our Wedding. He makes sure also that our villa is always neat and clean. We tried all the 3 restaurants, have less varieties but it was totally fine. It was also lovely to spend time at the bar every night after dinner and have some drinks and enjoy the music. We stayed for five days and we wanted to have more. if we ever go back to Maldives again, we would definitely choose Adaaran Prestige Vadoo again. Thank you so much again for making our whole stay enjoyable and unforgettable. We are beyond grateful for your dedication and excellent service!

PakistanThe fine dining experience at their main restaurant was quite average. The serving size was extremely small and the taste for most dishes was okay. It's good that this is an all-inclusive resort because I would have been extremely disappointed if I had to order and pay for each of their dishes separately. The Indian cuisine buffet was much better than their set menu. Lastly, the lighting in the room was quite dim too. It's good for setting the mood for peace and solitude but not so good when you are trying to find stuff while packing.
The location and the service was very good. The personal butler was extremely helpful. The private pool and the view from the room was great.

KuwaitMy recent stay at Adaaran Prestige Resort was nothing short of a paradisiacal experience. From the moment I stepped onto the pristine grounds of this luxurious haven, I knew I was in for a treat. The resort's impeccable service, diverse culinary offerings, and engaging activities left an indelible mark on my memory. First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Manu, a standout member of the resort's staff. Manu's dedication to ensuring guests' satisfaction went above and beyond expectations. His warm and attentive demeanor made me feel truly valued as a guest. He was always ready to assist with a genuine smile, enhancing the overall hospitality of the resort. The culinary journey at Adaaran Prestige Resort was nothing short of extraordinary. The food options were diverse, catering to a wide range of palates. The Japanese restaurant, in particular, stood out as a culinary gem. The masterfully crafted dishes showcased the artistry of the chefs, delivering an authentic and delightful experience. The blend of flavors, textures, and presentation made each meal a memorable event. One of the highlights of my stay was the resort's extensive array of activities. Whether you're a water sports enthusiast, a fitness buff, or someone seeking relaxation, Adaaran Prestige has something for everyone. From snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters to yoga sessions at sunrise, the activities were well-curated and added an extra layer of enjoyment to my stay. The attention to detail in every aspect of the resort, from the elegantly designed accommodations to the lush landscaping, contributed to an atmosphere of pure serenity. Adaaran Prestige Resort is a true testament to luxury and excellence. In conclusion, my time at Adaaran Prestige Resort was an enchanting escape that exceeded my expectations.

United StatesService in the main restaurant could take awhile since there were too few waitstaff for the number of diners and complexity of the menu. The last boat of the night to the airport was at 6 pm, which left me with a very long wait at the airport, during which time I saw many other hotels dropping off their clients by boat much closer to their flight times despite it being night time and dark. I took one meal in the Japanese restaurant and actually preferred the main restaurant. The deck furniture on my overwater bungalow was in an uncovered area and was not waterproof, so much of the time it was unusable due to being wet from rain. The views from the resort across the water are to large shipping boats, Male, and some industrial looking areas.
Staff were friendly, especially Agra in the restaurant. Nice beach area with shade umbrellas over some of the chairs. Great house reef to snorkel on, free snorkeling equipment provided by the dive shop worked well. Food was good and varied. Loved the overwater bungalow. The boat transfer from the airport worked well. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages as part of the all inclusive plan.

SwitzerlandWe loved everything. We had bad luck with weather for the first 2 days but with the help of Abdulsalaam (our concierge) and rest of staff, that loss was quickly compensated. The water villas are magnificent, photos do them justice, but don’t really explain the happiness of taking a dive and seeing all the coral and loads of fish right in your house. The food is always on point, both in main restaurant or in the Japanese one. The staff always cordial and attentive. The ladies in the spa are true magicians. The activities available were great, especially swimming with the sharks.

South AfricaThe concept of a butler is unnecessary as we had to call reception for everything, then reception calls the butler. 80% of the restaurant staff are extremely slow with service. The day visitors occupy all the beach beds the whole day and some brought kids at an Adult only resort. Lots of ants in the rooms. Some stuff don't greet.
The room was beautiful. The view was amazing. We had an issue our shower and it was sorted within an impressive turnaround time. Kudos to their maintenance and cleaning team.

United StatesIt was quite windy during our visit and the rattling of the exterior door was quite noisy the first night, but by the second night we hardly noticed it. Jacuzzi takes FOREVER to fill and the stopper’s seal wasn’t sufficient to keep the water level flying enough to keep the jets on. Would be a nice touch to have the jacuzzi filled for guests, upon request. One of the biggest reasons we selected this particular resort was proximity to the city and accessibility by speedboat, given our late night departure flights. Most disappointing was the management’s insistence on booking departure speedboat service 4-5 hours ahead of flight time when most airlines don’t commence check in until 3 hours before departure - which meant sitting in an outdoor waiting area for 1.5 hours before being able to check in and access the lounge.
Lovely location only a 20-minute speedboat ride from the Male airport - which is great for later arrivals/departures, in theory. Good selection of activities and a festive environment for the holiday season. Overwater sunset villa with plunge pool and jacuzzi was nice, though showing a bit of wear, and the mini bar remained well stocked. The staff - Abdul and Agra and the Dhoni Beach Bar staff, in particular - were very friendly and responsive… remembering my beach- and poolside drink of choice on sight 😂. Had a wonderful first diving experience and am already looking forward to the next dive. Onsite photographer was a lot of fun to work with!
