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 reviewWe chose this hotel for our honeymoon and weren’t disappointed. You have a person dedicated to you instead of a reception - you can contact over WhatsApp with requirements and have a schedule on the app where you can check what’s available and make bookings. Great food options Several services included based on your stay length like spa treatments, dinner at the underwater restaurant and sunset cruise. The staff are super friendly and there’s different activities everyday. Plenty to explore and access to the other nearby family hotel. There’s a connection to their sister hotel Oblu experience Ailafushi which is open for families but you have full access.
Depending on where you are staying on the island you can be in for quite a walk back and forth, but often staff can give you a lift - especially for longer distances like the underwater restaurant. We stayed in a water villa with access for snorkelling and a private swimming pool - which was great as some days we couldn’t swim due to rougher seas. If you get bad weather it can get noisy at night as expected. The water sports can be a bit pricey but we did the jet ski tour of 50 mins and it was well worth it visiting a sandbank.
Dear Sara, Warm greetings from OBLU SELECT Lobigili! Thank you for choosing our resort for such a special occasion and for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review of your honeymoon stay. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the personalised service, the convenience of our app, and the variety of activities and dining options available. It’s wonderful to know that your water villa and access to snorkeling and your private pool added to your experience. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the walking distances around the island and the occasional noise during rough weather. Your comments help us understand our guests’ perspectives better, and we are glad to hear that our team was able to assist with transportation to make your stay more comfortable. We also take note of your remarks about the pricing of water sports and will continue to review our offerings to ensure great value and memorable experiences. It was a pleasure welcoming you, and we hope to host you again for another unforgettable stay at our LOVE ISLAND. Warm regards, Nasrulla Mohamed Resort Manager

Verified reviewWe thoroughly researched our Maldives stay, and we are so glad we chose Lobigili. This trip was to celebrate our anniversary and the proposal that had happened just a few days earlier, and it could not have been more perfect. Even though it was technically low season, we had glorious weather every single day. From the moment we stepped off the 20-minute transfer from Malé, we felt like we had arrived on a remote island paradise. Our water villa was out of this world — spacious, beautifully designed, and with uninterrupted ocean views. The food was consistently delicious, with every meal feeling like a treat. The gym was breathtaking, making workouts an absolute pleasure. Ruchi took such wonderful care of us throughout our stay, and every single member of staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The house reef may not be the most vibrant we’ve seen, but it still gave us unforgettable moments — swimming with turtles, reef sharks, and even manta rays. Lobigili exceeded every expectation, and we left feeling relaxed, happy, and already dreaming of returning.

Verified reviewThe food provided at all the restaurants was exceptional. Being adults only created an environment of serenity. The activities of snorkelling, massage and fishing were well organised. The transfers from the airport to the resort and back were fast and the boat was always waiting for us. The room was outstanding with wonderful views of the water and fish.
It is nice to get away from technology for few days and this is place for it but unfortunately all communication is done through WhatsApp and there were constant messages with activities bookings, good morning messages, sleep well messages, etc so you could not get away from using your phone for the whole time.
