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...).

Amazing water villa with slide. The island is very green and beautiful like a well-kept garden with orchids everywhere. Nice reef with lots of fish and huge stingrays near the water villas. 4 restaurants available (Arabic, Indian, French and International buffet + a la cart) with huge choice of food, fresh juices, wine, cocktails - good quality and great service. Relaxing massage at the SPA center. Kids club with many activities and own pool. Our butler Hathu was very helpful. Fantastic holidays!

CanadaWe loved everything. It’s impossible to find a complaint. All of the staff were amazing and world-class. Everyone just did everything possible to make our stay great. We have stayed in some of the world’s nicest hotels and resorts in Europe, the Caribbean, and Asia, and this was our best experience ever. We will definitely be going back. This was our most expensive trip ever, but it was worth every penny.
Everything about the property was fantastic. There is literally nothing to complain about. The beaches were amazing with the best sand ever. The snorkelling and marine life were incredible and the best we’ve ever seen anywhere in the world. The overall maintenance was very good and the resort is stunningly beautiful. It was renovated in the past year and looks great. We loved being able to sit on the beach every day to enjoy meals. We stayed in one of the water villas and it was really nice. Very large and well maintained with all the amenities. We spent part of each day just sitting on our deck or in our pool enjoying the sunset and watching the fish. All of the staff were amazing and really everyone there deserves a big thank you for making our stay special. Some key things to mention: 1. Our shadow/“butler” Marey was great at setting up a really nice plan for our stay that had us enjoying really nice evenings in the restaurants and the spa. He did everything he could to make things nice. A special thanks to him for arranging a really. I’ve time at the Origin restaurant on my birthday. They arranged a really special table right by the water for us and decorated it really nicely! Plus made a wonderful birthday cake. The manager of the Origin and the main buffet was also super nice. She made things so special at the restaurant :-) 2. Our room was looked after by a gentleman named Mushifig. He was absolutely amazing as he would make the nicest displays with towels and flowers that we’ve ever seen. So talented, and he really cared to make things special. Our room was also always perfect. 3. The bartender Caroline was the best bartender we’ve ever seen at a resort, and maybe anywhere. The bar was great with premium drinks and every type of liquor you could imagine. They could make any drink you wanted, and if they didn’t know it, the would Google it and still make it!

BahrainThe only criticism if you are someone who likes to stay fit on vacation is that the gym could be better equipped. Very limited machines. Nothing else not to like.
A very special thank you to the manager Mr. Ali, who made sure our stay was exceptional. This was our second stay at this resort but under two different managements. This did not deter the amazing service, in fact it was even bette this time around. The villas are one of the best in Maldives. Both in size and design layout. We had the opportunity to stay in two different water villas and we were happy with both.of them. Excellent spa services with fully trained staff. A special mention for the food. All the restaurants and the pool bar have a great ambience and great variety. However, enough cannot be said about the fine dining restaurant, Origine. Chef Chetan's food was a relevation for our palettes. He even preepared some off menu items for us, which we could not get enough of. Saffron(indian cuisine) was one of the best I ever had and Chef Alok at the main restaurant, served us the most perfectly cooked lobster. And our butler Salman made our stay more special in every way. He took care of all our arrangements and made us comfortable in every way. He will be one of the main reasons if we choose the same resort again, which is highly likely. Distance from Velana Airport makes it a good choice after a long flight. (Approximately 30 mins by speedboat). The staff are the most excellent and courteous. A special mention for Arjun,Turana, Katya, Maryam, Mod and Rohit. Also Faa at the Spa was so great. Highly recommened for massage and facial. Thank you to the whole team for making it one of our best vacations espcially during Covid.

Friendly staff they really give you comfortable feeling. the first 3 hours before check in the offer us to stay on the beach from villa to rest ( for free ) then they took our luggage to our villa. over all it was amazing experience. the food is amazing really tasty options they offer us a dinner in Indian restaurant the food is delicious. Amira ( staff ) she is amazing person she helped us and provide us with a lot of joy. she arranged a late checkout and lunch because our fight is 11 o’clock. once we reach the hotel by the luxury transportation the hotel staff in the airport helped to carry the luggage to the hotel lounge in the airport. we stayed in the hotel ( the resort lounge till the check in ), especial thanks to Amira. the dive center is amazing the snorkeling equipments are free. I recommend the glass kayak it is really amazing.

Saudi ArabiaAbsolutely nothing! The staff made our stay better.
I had the pleasure to stay at this incredible resort. I’ll review details. First the butler Amira was wonderful I highly recommend to choose her when visiting the island. She booked everything and helped us in ways you cant imagine. Secondly, the resort itself is big with a lot of activities like water sports, spa, and sightseeing. The service is pretty great. They offered us an upgrade for free due to us being a party of 4. Which they didnt have too. The boat was on time and pretty nice The beach was clean and great Food choices are vast. They have 4 cuisines. Middle eastern, Indian, french, and oriental with a belly dancing show which my family and I enjoyed. If I ever visit maldives again I’ll choose to this resort again with AMIRA our amazing butler.
