How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewReally is a proper 5 star resort with a wow factor. Island, even by Maldivian standards beautiful. Back side of Island particularly beautiful and private and villas here are lovely. Food very good here. Snorkelling also very good with free daily snorkelling trip at 11am to sections of the main house reef
No need to loud DJ music in bar at night - it killed the atmosphere and emptied the bar each time but the management were determined to keep it.

Verified reviewAngsana Velavaru exceeded all expectations — it was an unforgettable stay from beginning to end. The staff were incredible — so warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Special thanks to Tuan, Eli, Alina, and Laila for making us feel truly at home. Their kindness and attention to detail created such a positive atmosphere that we’re already planning to come back. The villa was very comfortable, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean. The island itself is beautiful — lush greenery, palm trees, and a peaceful vibe despite the number of villas. Everything is perfectly integrated into the landscape, which makes walks around the island a real joy. The ocean was amazing. While there’s no reef right at the shore, it makes swimming more pleasant and safe. At the same time, the resort offers access to a fantastic house reef with organized snorkeling trips — the best of both worlds! We highly recommend combining a beach villa with a few nights overwater — this way, you get to enjoy both the privacy and stunning views of the ocean and the rich nature of the island. Thank you for a fantastic vacation — we’ll definitely be returning!
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for such a heartfelt and beautifully detailed review! We're truly honored to hear that your stay at Angsana Velavaru exceeded expectations and left you with unforgettable memories. It’s wonderful to know that Tuan, Eli, Alina, and Laila made you feel right at home with their warmth and genuine hospitality. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them. We’re equally glad you enjoyed the comfort of the villa, the natural beauty of the island, and the balance between safe swimming and exciting snorkeling opportunities. Your tip about combining a beach villa and an in-ocean villa is a great suggestion for future guests. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We can't wait to welcome you back for another incredible experience! Best regards Ahmed Zahir General Manager

Verified reviewThe property itself is lovely on a secluded island. The over water villas are a short boat ride away from the main island which gives it a real exclusive feel. The house reef is amazing, such a vibrant reef of colour and sea life. Lots of turtles, sharks, rays and fish to be seen.
The trigger fish around the house reef have attitude. 🤣
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in our picture-perfect paradise. It’s great that you loved the exclusive feel of the in-ocean villas and were impressed by the vibrant house reef—spotting turtles, sharks, rays, and those feisty trigger fish truly makes for an unforgettable experience!
