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 KingdomThere is absolutely nothing wanting in this resort!
The staff are really friendly and island services are extensive. The dive centre offers every possible water experience. The photographer is well worth it; beautiful and high quality photos. The souvenir shop has everything you could have possibly forgot. Their main restaurant The Spice has a variety of dishes available for breakfast, lunch and dinner; we were spoiled for choice and even for the pickiest of eaters there is something to have. The bar is just brilliant, great choice of drinks, as well as snacks. The bar also hosts a variety of games to keep adults and kids entertained. Just Grill restaurant offers a sophisticated dining experience right on the beach, the food was beyond delicious. The villa pool and surrounding sand are cleaned everyday, along with daily accommodation housekeeping. The island is beautifully manicured and the pier is great for photos at sunset.

United KingdomThe only minor grumble we had, was the lack of a bar at the water villa end of the island. But that’s a small issue and just means a 5 min walk to the main location.
The staff are superb. So friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The location. Water villas and reef are fabulous.

South AfricaThe cocktails weren’t the best, perhaps less expensive alcohol making them a little strong with no syrups? We loved the hand fishing excursion but it would have been nice to have cold water or soda on the trip.
We loved the beautiful reef and the bar and restaurant staff were both kind and helpful. Sunset villas were comfortable and in a perfect spot. Food at the Grill was absolutely delicious, buffet range was good, catering to a wide range of taste with good wines.

South KoreaIf I had to pick something I found disappointing, it would be that the underwater environment at other points was a bit less impressive compared to Jetty Sunset.
The underwater environment I saw while snorkeling at Jetty Sunset was truly amazing. I was also deeply touched by Anurag, who decorated my room beautifully every time and even prepared a cake for my birthday without me mentioning it. I had a wonderful time thanks to the consideration and kindness of all the staff. Thank you for creating such great memories.

TurkeyThe open buffet was mediocre, especially the red meat selections. The meat was always tough and low quality. Fish was sometimes undercooked (inedible to us)
We loved the lagoon villa, had a gorgeous view of the sunset. The Indian food restaurant was excellent. The staff in general were very polite and helpful. The open buffet had a wide selection of food.

ItalyThe boat ride to arrive in bad weather was terrible and seemed dangerous, not only to us but also to the other passengers with us. We were told it was supposed to last 60 minutes maximum, it lasted two and a half hours! Part of the staff needs training in my opinion, when I declared myself frightened about the turbulent journey on the ship I received no reassurance. As soon as we landed we wanted only to go to our room, but the lady accompanying us, basically wanted to show us all the amenities in the resort right that moment, even when asked to hasten things due to the previous fear and motion sickness. If you have problems, I recommend you ask Shaihan or Pato, the only highly skilled and professional people we found. The rooms (water villas) although new have problems, it rained in our room throughout our stay and despite coming twice to check the problem, it was never fully resolved. We were however offered a dinner in one of the a-la carte restaurants as compensation for the inconvenience. We tried both a-la carte restaurants (Just Grill and Raga Route) and in our opinion they were nothing special. When we arrived, after the turbulent journey, we found ourselves without hot water, but it was solved the next morning. We didn't like the drinks we tried included in the All-Inclusive very much.
The beach is beautiful and the sea spectacular. The cleanliness of the rooms was excellent, in particular we would like to thank Shahin for his work and courtesy. The food is varied, the buffet restaurant offers slightly different dishes every day and welcomes different cuisines (Indian, Italian and usually Thai). We liked the entertainment in the evening because it is relaxing, it is a couple of singers, more like a piano bar. Perhaps a bit monotonous for a long stay.

PolandThe water villa had an uncomfortable bathroom smell. The check-in staff recognized it and tried to do something about it but it remained the same. The lagoon villa was almost the same price and a big downgrade. Couldn’t really access water due to rocks on the edge. Netflix didn’t work to watch something late evening. No coffee machine and you couldn’t open the fridge because it was too bulky for the wardrobe and one of the life jacket was broken.
The water villa is amazing, well equipped with coffee machine, life jacket to access water, shower looking at the water. The food is plenty and good for and all inclusive package, you will not starve.

AustraliaNot much variety in food choices in main buffet restaurants or specialty restaurants. Fishing experience was perfunctory. Snorkelling gear was old and some flippers buckle were not functioning.
Water suite was well designed for small family stay. The pool in the suite was large enough for comfortable swimming. Very nice staff, quiet but friendly. A lot of tropical fish and animals (I mean really a lot). Comfortable seaside bar.

Saudi ArabiaNearly 1 hour open speed boat facility can be improved by providing ear plugs to the visitors. Door locks should be provided in wash rooms/ bath rooms esp. in family villas with kids.
Great place, well maintained island, medium sized (not small to be boring or large to be hectic), friendly and caring staff, great welcome and farewell, very accomodative (esp. Manager Mr. Salaam who facilitated for our timely return), excellent facilities, snorkeling was fun and was easily accessible near beach and water villas, excellent food at spice restaurant with mix of delicious items. Easy access to places in resort, with provision of carts and buggy/ golf carts. All-inclusive was worth it, we and kids had a great time. Soothing effect to experience nature at its purest form. Serene.
