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.).

BrazilI just loved everything
The place is just amazing and the people that work there are really nice and friendly. The food is great and there are a lot of good wines already including in the all inclusive package (what I do recommend) The water villas are really close to reefs and you can see a variety of fishs just a few meters from your room. Besides that, they are really clean and confortable. I also recommend some paid tours they offer because you can go to desert islands and enjoy a little bit more maldives. The sea over there is gorgeous. Another great point is that they assign a person to take care of you during your stay, and this person books dinner, events and tours for you, so you don't need to worry with nothing!

AustriaWe spent our fall break vacation at JA Manafaru and it was (again) FANTASTIC! It was our third time on this as a family. Our kids are 8 and 10 years by now. My husband and I spend our honeymoon on Manafaru back in 2008. Our stay was great in 2008 and it has been even better in the past last years! As always we stayed in the Deluxe Beach Villa with family pool. For the last two nights of our stay we had the opportunity to stay in the marvelous and breathtaking Ocean Residence. For the first time we have had the chance to have the best of both worlds - beach & ocean. Just great! The new management made a few changes on the island: there are only a few more chickens running around - the rest is in the most beautiful chicken farm I’ve ever seen: They’ve called it „Cluckingham Palace“. It’s in the middle of the island but guests are welcome to visit and have a look at it. There are also plans for a new bar and another restaurant. Most probably it will be opened by the time we come back again in Februar 2024. Also new: Kids Club Care: Seema and Lyn were really great playing and crafting with our daughter! Our daughter just loved everything in the kids club especially the Halloween program. Again a big big big thank you to the outstanding and friendly staff and of course F&B!!! We already made our booking for next year and we are very much looking forward to our next stay at JA Manafaru! See you all soon! ☀️ Greeting from Austria, Family K. Weniger anzeigen

GermanyThe resort island is secluded and there is not much traffic around it. The area is rich with beautiful colourful reefs. The villa was impeccable and the sunset view was breathtaking. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We liked the sustainability efforts of the resort as they started to grow in house mushrooms and vegetables and rely more on solar power. We really appreciate also that Ja Manafaru accommodated our last minute dates change due to an emergency.

United Arab EmiratesNeeds some refurbishment.
The Island: I have visited many resorts and islands, this one is fantastic. The Resort: little bit old and needs refurbishment. However, the facilities are beautiful : the infinity pool, the tennis court, the football court, cinema room, gym, etc. The Staff: amazing all of them. Special thanks to Hajar and the management for the upgrade. Big thanks to Chef Moussa and his team as the Food is amazing. It’s all a la carte but you will eat very well. Delicious cuisine and excellent service. Special thanks to Mohamed, Nizam, Aiman, Ismail, Semba… The Beach Villa is awesome and I recommend trying the Ocean 2 Bedrooms villa! It’s just stunning with the sunset and sunrise. The infinity pool and the facilities are fantastic. Snorkeling in the area is pure happiness.

Perfect paradise! beautiful nature, very nice landscape design that blends great with nature, spacious villas so you can enjoy private time, all facilities are well kept, options for excursions, perfect service and excellent food. I loved the concept of the personal host they offer all guests - during all the stay we had a personal experience host that made everything easy - thank you Mangal for being such a great host.

Everything. The island is natural and beautiful. We stayed in a water villa. The sea is so turquoise blue and you can enjoy the fishes from the sundeck. The room is spacious with everything you need and they can fill up the minibar to your liking. On arrival there is a real French Champaign and fresh macarons waiting for you. The bathroom is beautiful and the sundeck has a swing, two loungers and a table with four seats. There is also a nice plunge pool to cool off if you want too. The breakfast has a lot of choice and the staff will prepare something for you if it is not there. The restaurant’s are all good with different food options. I can really recommend the Maldivian fish curry. The staff is really nice and very helpful in general. We had Rafu and Achmed as our guest relation officer. They were really nice and helpful. They book the restaurants for us and made sure we had everything we need.
