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...).

Netherlands#Our villa was the furthest from most of the places. It takes a lot of walking back and forth. Bicycles might be an option? #The planes that were bringing guests to the nearby island were "landing" a bit close to the water villas with numbers 500-555+. #The live music - very repetitive and loud. #The paid trips are on the expensive side for what you are getting. #Only 2 single kayaks were available, often taken.
#All people that work there were amazing! THEY made our stay special! From the welcoming ceremony, the care throughout our stay (staff but also the managers), to the skilled captain that brought us back at the airport: amazing service from wonderful people. ***THANK YOU ALL!*** #Water suite: a unique villa with uninterrupted ocean view, where we enjoyed some of the best sunsets ever. Incredibly comfortable, large bed + fluffy pillows = wonderful night's rest. #The Nu restaurant became our favorite. #The free snorkeling trips, twice daily - such a thoughtful idea considering that the island is man-made. VARU also provides snorkeling gear if you haven't brought your own one. # The laundry (bag) service... #The cleanness #The sitting area at the villa's deck.

The accommodation was fantastic! The rooms were clean and very well equipped, the staff was kind and helpful and always at our disposal. The buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner were plentiful and the food was extremely tasty. We were also able to satisfy our need for sports in the gym or on the tennis court. The island is very quiet, the guests did not disturb each other, everyone had plenty of space either on their own private beach or on the shared beach. We had a great time, I can only recommend it to everyone.

BrazilThe only downside was the access to the sea from the water villa, as the ladder could get slippery and a bit tricky to use.
The Varu Resort in the Maldives exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and breathtaking views. The all-inclusive package is truly exceptional, offering a wide variety of gourmet dining options, refreshing beverages, and exciting activities that cater to every taste. The overwater villas are pure luxury, with stunning ocean views and direct access to the crystal-clear waters. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable, always attentive and friendly. If you’re looking for a paradise getaway with impeccable service, Varu is the ultimate destination. We can’t wait to return!

United Arab Emiratesway too many bug bites , even with a repellant. Not only outdoors but in the room as well.
Nice island, lovely beach , good food.Wonderful pool both at the villa and the main one at the bar, not deep .Unlike what it says here they do provide a crib for babies, and will make special purées for the baby for all meal times. They clean your room as many times as you ask and have a turn down service for the night .
