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...).

SerbiaSome stuff in villas need to be repaired. Waited for transfer for 2 hours, which was a little bit too long.
Our stay in the hotel was perfect. Spent several hours a day exploring the reef, besides the variety of colorful fish we saw reef sharks, turtles, octopuses and a stingray. There are several points where you can start a snorkel but I recommend to go from the sunset point to the main restaurant. Current will help you to go fast and at this part of the reef is the most interesting. The food was excellent, mostly Maldivian and Indian cuisine, fresh fruits. Alcohol was good, includes Chilean and Italian vines. The villa was quite nice. We had a beautiful view on the ocean, it was quiet and secluded. We didn’t like our first villa because it was near the restaurant and we heard a DJ music from there until midnight. We asked for a change and the next day moved to another villa which was far away from music, thanks for that. Overall the island is so green and it was there comfortable there. There is a hotel app with your schedule and description of everything on island, which was quite useful.

IsraelThis is no fault of the resort, just a comment for other teavellers. The variety of fish in the reef is, as described in reviews, amazing. However the corals are almost non existent due to the global warming effect. In the dives and snorkeling the scenery is mostly gray, let aside a few surprisingly beautiful spots. I can imagine what a paradise it was 30 years ago. Such a pity for the Male atoll
The all inclusive was marvelous in every sense , the food, the drinks, the quality, the true friendliness of the staff. They scheduled our transfers exactly as requested. The room was ready early and we had complementary breakfast and lunch on the arrival day. The speedboat comfortable and nice. The vegetation all around is lush and shady, the swiming pools are pleasant and relaxed. The smiling staff constantly bring towels and drinks. Spa wonderful. TGI diving club is really 5 STAR. SNORKELING in the expansive house reef was for us the highlight. Turtles, mantas sharks and for a brilliant finale the night snorkeling excursion with 3 beautiful white tip sharks, an enormous eagle ray just passed under our feet and went on gracefully in front of us. Wi fi strong and relatively fast. The resort application and chat very useful and efficent. No hidden costs at check out. We knew the price of the amenities we took and that was exactly the bill. I seldom give such a review, but it is an honest summary. The place capture our hearts. Not a single worry just pure holiday in every sense. We plan to come back.

IndiaRooms were much too dark at night and reading was impossible. They need better reading lights. The entire staff was great except for the dive centre personnel. They really had some attitude and I gave up the idea of doing a couple of dives even though I had planned to do so. They were almost rude and not helpful at all. The resort wanted to do everything through the app but it was still work in progress. Our itinerary just showed a massage while it omitted other things like dinner at the grill, departure details, fishing schedule etc. Even check in through the app was frustrating.
The reef. It was lovely to do snorkelling there as reef had exotic sea life. Adult pool near the sea was nice and relaxing. Service of waiters was very good. Food was decent and had a good variety.

IsraelNothing, we loved it.
We stayed at Oblu Nature at helengeli for one week for our honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!! The island is paradise with magical spots in every corner. The facilities of the resort were designed in a special combination of prestige and casual atmosphere. The water villa is a real delight, so relaxing and beautiful, with a stunning private pool. We enjoyed spending hours there. The Spice restaurant was great with a large variety that changed every meal and a staff of chefs and waiters that constantly made sure we are happy and pleased. The gym is very well equiped and located in an amazing spot with great 360° view. The awesome gym instructor Sunil was very kind and helpful and we also enjoyed the sunset yoga instructed by him. The spa was divine, the staff was very professional and the atmosphere was super calming. The diving center was a great place for us to use the excess energy we got from the wonderful meals and rest. We scuba dived, snorkeled, rode the jet ski, took a kayak and padel boards. All the activities were fun and special, well guided and used great equipment. Last but not the least, we really thank the amazing bar staff that was so friendly, helpful and always with a big smile. Especially Uba and Rajat, that were like family for us throughout the whole week, and made us feel at home :) Overall, we had an amazing honeymoon, we enjoyed every second of our stay on this magical heaven, with the best caring crew - we would definitely love to come back!🥳

BulgariaThe only suggestion would be to have more sunbeds on the west part of the island. Not a big thing at all, though.
The hotel has exceptional service and staff! We got help organizing everything - dives, excursions, spa, even a birthday celebration. The diving and sports center are great, with attentive guides and interesting diving spots. There are a number of water activities and also an overwater fitness. The food is great - sashimi, tuna steaks, various asian dishes, lots of reef catch. Snorkeling is good, the reef is nice, but dive it and you'll get more. Overall great value for money.
