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.).

South AfricaFood-people must be allowed to take food out of the restuarant and eat wherever they want. please introduce things like chicken wings, ribs to your menu. Bar- the drinks menu for all inclusive was quite useless. the drinks covered are not mixed well and are not what you want. I would actually attempt booking just the room and pay for the food If I were to go back. it wasn't worth it
the resort is very very quiet. I would recommend it for people who just want to relax,and get intimate with their partner. there isn't much vibe so if you are looking for vibe it's not for you. Food- the food was very tasty but lacked variety. after 2 days you would want an option outside of their traditional food barler- Ajay was the best. very calm and helpful

United KingdomBoth my wife and I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so we were slightly disappointed with the choice and quality of dessert.
All the staff were very welcoming, polite and super helpful. The restaurant staff were very accommodating. The butler service worked well. However, I do feel like this service needs a little fine tuning.

United StatesIt would be great to have more beach palapas or shade on the actual beach. There is shade at the pool but it's lovely enjoying the breeze while ocean front. It was particularly hard to get a palapa when there were day trippers. We were there during a shoulder seaon and day trippers came in from nearby islands.
Our sunset room was quiet, private, and beautifully equipped. Our butler, Mina, ensured everything was stocked in our room. Mina suggested which days would be great to do different activities like our sunset cruise and beach dinner. The floating breakfast was amazing and started a very relaxing day. The food exceeded expectations. Rather than the overwhelming buffets of Caribbean all inclusives, we enjoyed ordering 4 course dinners from a menu that changed daily. We enjoyed the main restaurant selections the most. Agra took wonderful care of us. We enjoyed before and after drinks at the lobby bar. Velu always made us feel at home. We celebrated our 20th anniversary and the band even learned our wedding song to sing during our last evening. Truly a spectacular trip.

United States1. Food can be majorly improved. Thou huge shout out to chef Rawat , who helped prepare a special Indian meal for us 2. The resort has very little going on after 8pm. While we understand that the vibe is to relax, some social activities or even a lively atmosphere in the evening would be great.
Location was excellent and the overwater villas were great. The staff was also very helpful and supportive to our needs and requests. The Spa was also excellent

Australia1. Rooms are ageing and it is quite visible from the infrastructure. Both of our rooms' air cons were leaking water. 2. Jacuzzi button had some issues, so wouldn't turn off. We asked for an electrician, but they sent a plumber, who then called the electrician and about and 1.5 hr later, it was fixed. No issues thereafter. 3. We got locked inside our own room, as the lock had jammed. It took about 40 mins for someone to come and let us out and another 30 mins for someone to come to actually fix it, so we couldn't leave the room. 4. Buggies are quite limited, so sometimes you may have to wait up to 40 mins for a pick-up and twice, they forgot completely, so we just walked. I'm not sure if this was a perk, or just an unspoken understanding to request buggies. 5. Proximity to Male means there will be lots of light pollution at night, but that comes due to the location, so up to you to choose accordingly. 6. People cleaning below the rooms in the see through glass pane was not cool, as no one was informed. 7. No one cleared our glasses or plates on the following days, which was a bit weird for a 5-star resort.
1. The staff were the highlight for this resort! Roshan (Executive Head Chef) went above and beyond to make us feel welcome at the resort and took extremely good care of us, including a special platter on one night too! 2. As the island is very close to Male, they offer a free ferry transfer. This is a huge bonus in comparison to USD 400-800 domestic flights or seaplane transfers. 3. Live music and DJ is a great bonus on the island and gives you something to enjoy in the evenings. You can get free snorkeling equipment for the whole duration of your stay. Things can be charged directly to the room, which is great. 4. Premium all-inclusive option is great, as you get access to 2 restaurants as well as unlimited drinks between 10am - midnight. There is also daily fish feeding at 4pm, which is fun to watch as you will see about 100 sharks together, as well as the resident crane! 5. Room was available before the check-in time, which was greatly appreciated! Rooms are gorgeous and massive! Links between front to back and how they open up in various ways is very cool! Glass on the bottom of the bathroom is so cool! 6. Sunsets and sunrises are gorgeous! If you're lucky, you can even spot some dolphins sometimes. 7. Food is so good and there is a permanent option of an Indian buffet for all 3 meals. You have to try the Maldivian fish set for breakfast one morning. Japanese restaurant was exquisite! 8. Spa is available, but quite expensive.
