Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Romania- very high humidity in the room, the walls were literally "sweating". There was a mold smell that could still be felt despite the agressive and cheap air freshener, which made the air in the room unbreathable -the room had no windows (only the bathroom had a small window) and was very small - the bed and pillows were not very comfortable - between 9 am- 6 pm there are workers making a lot of noise, as the hotel is still under construction - location not great
- very friendly and supportive staff (they welcomed us with a drink and booked the speedboat transfer back to the airport; as our speedboat left in the eveninig, after checkout they stored our luggages and allowed us to use the shower before we left to the airport). - pretty nice room, modern design - better breakfast options compared to a similar hotel we've been accomodated in on the same island

Oman1) Breakfast to be improved. 2) Transportation fees between Male Airport and the hotel to be revised as it's much higher then the operator used it self while there is no special services. Operator boat, operator staff, operator schedules. (actual 15 USD - Charged 25 USD by the hotel).
1) Friendly staff and manager. 2) Quite place to rest. 3) Snorkeling gear available for their customers with no additional charges. 4) AC works well. 5) Water pressure very good.

AlbaniaI would like to give a suggestion rather than calling it a dislike of something! Breakfast, if possible should have a little more options. Also the works that were being carried out for reconstruction, if it is possible to stop during the lunch break, so that you have the opportunity to relax a little, since the loud noises did not allow you to relax. But i hope these works will be finished soon and everything will be perfect at Arora View.
All the staff are wonderful! At any moment they make you feel comfortable as in your home. They come and wait for you at the boat and help you with your luggage, also acompany you with your luggage back to the boat. All for girls from Nepal who work at the recepsion and not only are adorable. They always make you feel welcome, respected, appreciated. They organized a special surprise for my birthday, decorated the room, take care of every detail. They deserve a huge applause, many thanks and a big hug from me. Many thanks to Asmita, Kabita, Apekshya, Shabnam! I can't leave without mentioning the chef Mahaj who was very friendly and professional with us, he cooked very delicious dishes and surprised me with a cake for my birtdhay. Also, the gentleman who helped us with the heavy luggage deserves a big thank you, he was very kind and friendly. A huge thank you to all of you!

GermanyBreakfast in the Maldives on the local islands is very limited, as generally food choice is small… The hotel had good breakfast, but maybe adding some cheese and boiled eggs and yoghurt will make big difference. But we were happy with everything here. I am just mentioning as suggestion to make it better :).
Very clean, very friendly stuff, good location as the island is small. You just walk out in the Main Street and everything is on the street 5 min from you. 15 circa to the bikini beach. They pick you up and get you to the jetty when you leave. We ordered Kottu Roshi and some fried noodles and rice as per the advice on the Nepalese receptionist and it was super tasty. Good price as well. The ladies from Nepal at the reception are amazing. Very warm thank you for making our stay to be remembered. They even gave us small paintings of the Maldives when we departed 🥹.
