Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

If you are still looking for a perfect accomodation in Tioman, here is THE place. Everything was simply perfect. The whole staff as well as the owner were amazing and were always trying to do their best to make you feel at home and comfortable. Moreover the food was also super tasty thanks to Hakim. Moreover the place with its private beach is an absolute beauty.

SingaporeI am nitpicking here - While the food was good and portion size was large, prices are on the higher end compared to other places on the island.
Staying at Melina was an incredible experience! Situated in a fantastic location, it's the perfect destination to unwind from the stresses of everyday life. Patrick, the enthusiastic host, provided us with a comprehensive overview of the area and suggested various activities to enjoy. The attentive staff, Rose and Jay, were always ready to cater to our needs with a warm smile, making our stay truly memorable. The cuisine at the resort, overseen by Chef Hakim, was exceptional, and he happily accommodated special requests. I highly recommend renting a boat from the resort and embarking on a snorkeling tour around the island. Overall, it was a fabulous experience, and I'm already looking forward to planning my next trip here soon!

United KingdomThere was a hiccup in communication regarding the pick up from Genting but no other faults.
The location could not be better. It's secluded with a beautiful beach on one side and on the other, jungle paths leading to Paya and Genting village. Melina was like an oasis. We enjoyed trekking, snorkeling (courtesy of Melina), and laying under the trees on the beach. Also the food was tasty and very fresh. Staff were accommodating, helpful and friendly, and gave us brilliant tips.

MalaysiaWhen the booking was made, it was stated that breakfast included. However, when the booking by the resort, it showed only for room. So I had to pay separately at the resort for breakfast. This shouldn't have happened. From the resort notification booking.com app, I received a text saying to click the link to finalise the reservation after clicking on it ,asked to update credit card and insert sms code ,without realising I inserted, it was a bank OTP number. I was scammed, and I was charged 2x (despite only inserted once). Bulgarian currency 728 x2 was charged in my credit card.

AustraliaI did not like the noisy, smelly, petrol leaf blower. A broom would be more effective, better for the ambience and more environmentally friendly. While respecting that the resort is alcohol free, it would have been nice to have a selection of mocktails and pre-dinner snacks to go with watching the spectacular sunsets.
The beach chalet was spacious with a large, private balcony overlooking the beach. Very comfortable. The resort is quite private, a 30 minute jungle walk to Genting or Paya. Very family friendly. The 3 hour snorkeling trip was amazing. Beautiful, varied corals; fish, turtles, reef sharks. Cost RM185 per adult.

GermanyA bit pricy for the standards supplied, even acknowledging that it’s a remote beach. We stayed before on another resort on Tioman and paid almost 10 times less. We did not receive any real help on how to get from one resort to Melina. We managed to get there but would have expected a different service level given the price.
The location at the remote beach is good. The food was really fantastic. Positive surprise here.
