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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesMy only disappointment was that masala chai wasn’t on the breakfast drinks menu.
This small, intimate resort was the perfect place for my son and I to chill after a week on a scuba liveaboard. The bungalows are comfortable and lovely Each one has their patch of beach from which you can walk into the water and snorkel the excellent house reef. The entire staff was so kind and courteous. In response to some comments about children, yes it’s family friendly but really not an issue. There were a few toddlers but mostly the children were quiet and unobtrusive

KazakhstanThe beach didn't look as beautiful as before because of the erosion and beach conservation activities.
The reef is beautiful, vital and vibrant. I like that there is a marine center taking care of the reef. The food was very good. Fine quality and large variety of dishes: asian, mediterranean, local Maldivian, vegan, fruits, fish and meat steaks. It was my second time here, and I want to return in future.

United Arab Emirateshonestly nothing in the hotel. but we tried to book a restaurant in the other bigger island to celebrate our anniversary. however it felt like a waste! paid for a fine dine experience but the food was horrible! the worst wagu steak ive tried and wished we had eaten in our island instead it would have been much tastier for sure. keep that in mind.
everything From the moment we landed in the airport, until taking us back to the terminal. The Hospitality of the team at the property is unmatched! the calm vibes of the island and the taste of the food although its not a huge variety because its a small island yet the food taste in general is amazing. the Spa service for couples was so great that we booked twice in two days!. they even organized a special dinner arrangement for us on our anniversary without telling us! that was an awesome experience. adding to that a free room upgrade and without even highlighting that to us as an extra service! it felt like we are super cared for all the time. believe me you will never see the type of personalized hospitality in this island else where and thats why we will surely go back.

The house reef is exceptional, the staff is extremely kind and everyone is very careful with eny need you might have. The island is small and quiet, you experience the true Maldivian spirit here. It is our 4th stay here and we hope to come again soon, I think this speaks a lot… ❤️

ItalyThe food was not so much of our liking and we did not find it up to standard. Furthermore, there is usually the possibility to visit the neighbor island (5 minutes far) of Banyan Tree but for the whole length of our stay it was completely reserved for a private occasion.
The resort (around 40 rooms) is simply beautiful and a little piece of paradise. The gardeners and housekeepers definitely stand out for keeping such a meticulously clean and pleasant environment and the level of professionalism can be seen in the details all around the island and inside your bedroom. All staff is kind and care about the guests from arrival/pick up until the very last moment at departure. You can see that they all try their best to make you have the best possible experience. We are travelling with two small kids and everyone was extremely kind also with them. The coral reef is the nicest we have seen in the last years and right in front of your room you’ll be able to see sharks, rays, colorful fishes and sea turtles. Even my non swimmer 2 years old daughter could see all this without going underwater! The island is located less than half an hour from Male which makes it very comfortable to reach. We loved our stay and would definitely come back and recommend it

Beautiful island property, lovely beachfront villas, beautiful beach. The house reef that surrounds the island is very easy to snorkel and has a great variety of sea life. The staff is excellent. The spa services were very relaxing and convenient. The buffet-style restaurant has a great variety of food from various cultures and was excellent. The dive shop staff was very helpful. A perfect stay!!

As quite close to Male - there were quite a few ferries and large boats that went past - and views of other islands - but not necessarily a bad thing as we didn’t mind at all.

SingaporeVery small island, hence not much facilities like swimming pool, and only one restaurant
- near airport (20 mins by speedboat) and they transport guests right after we arrive , ie no need to wait for hrs while they are grouping guests arriving from different planes - house reef is prob one of the best, if not the best, for resorts which can be reached by speedboat in less than 30 mins - value for $ - food is very good

United Arab EmiratesNot much atmosphere in the bar area, no entertainment, music was difficult to hear. On one night there was a staff party which affected the usual quality/availability of food at dinner and lack of service at the bar on a Friday night! Unfortunately it was a shame the food/service was poor on our final night in the Maldives
Location to the house reef. Generally good food and drink options. Staff really friendly. Good private accommodation with own garden/beach access.
