How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified review• The staff truly went above and beyond. Their hospitality was heartfelt, and they worked hard to meet our needs throughout the stay. • The Japanese restaurant was excellent—it became our daily go-to for meals that supported our nutrition goals while on vacation. • The setting was beautiful—classic Maldives: overwater villas, clear blue waters, and peaceful surroundings that delivered on the tropical escape experience. • Reservations were honored and handled efficiently, especially at the Japanese restaurant, ensuring a consistent dining experience.
• Strict and inconsistent dress code for men at breakfast and lunch—tank tops and sleeveless shirts weren’t allowed, while women could wear anything. • The gym was extremely limited, with minimal equipment—definitely not ideal for athletes or anyone looking to maintain a fitness routine. • Very few nutrition-friendly options, especially for guests with dietary restrictions like shellfish allergies. • Room service was not included, even during regular operating hours, which doesn’t align with the “all-inclusive” label. • Unpredictable weather made walking or waiting for a buggy inconvenient, yet room service still came with extra charges. • Miscommunications with staff led to repeated follow-ups to get certain needs addressed.
Dear Mr. Corey, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted that our team’s genuine hospitality made your stay memorable. It’s also great to hear the Japanese restaurant perfectly complemented your nutritional goals—your kind words will certainly be shared with the culinary team. The stunning setting of Vadoo is something we’re proud to offer, and we’re glad it provided the peaceful escape you were looking for. We’re also pleased that the dining reservations were smooth and reliable throughout your visit. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another seamless and relaxing stay. Warm regards, Octavius Adams Front Office Manager

Verified reviewClose to the airport.
The fact that all inclusive didn’t mean all inclusive. We were limited to 3 meals , no extra food or snacks at the bar only drinks. The food is average overall and not that of a 5 star hotel. The facility is very limited , no activities such as pool activities or evening activities except for a DJ in the evening and a volleyball net. There was no music or vibe during the day at the pool or on the beach . The room was ok , the bathroom has no ac and felt like a jacuzzi , the mini bar is limited to beverages and Mars bars and one mini Pringles / day . Very disappointing. This is our 7th visit to Maldives and this was the one that least met our expectations.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we’re pleased to know you appreciated our convenient location near the airport, we’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet the expectations you’ve come to enjoy from your previous visits to the Maldives. We understand your disappointment regarding the all-inclusive package and are currently reviewing how we can better communicate its inclusions to avoid any misunderstandings. We also appreciate your comments on the food quality, facilities, and entertainment offerings your insights are incredibly valuable as we continuously strive to improve. Your remarks regarding the room amenities and overall atmosphere have been shared with our management team for immediate attention. Please know that guest satisfaction is at the heart of what we do, and it’s disappointing to learn that we fell short during your stay. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide a more fulfilling experience that reflects the true standards of our resort. Thank you, Warm regards, Sanjaya Senanayake General Manager Adaaran Prestige Vadoo, Maldives

Verified reviewWe were in Room 805, the first room on the dock, next to the spa. This is a benefit if you don't want to walk or rely on a golf cart as some other reviews mentioned. I'd choose a little further down to have unobstructed views. The honeymoon suites will be in your photos but face out so it isn't like they are looking at you. The rooms are large! Don't forget to ask your butler to make reservations for you at the Japanese restaurant and restaurant on the beach. They are included options. Spa was lovely. Our butler Abdul was top notch. 100% recommend this resort.
All lunch and dinner meals and restaurants were excellent but breakfast wasn't that great. I'd also recommend more staff because one waiter was being ran around. He still did a great job but was beat.
Dear Amanda, Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review of your experience at our resort. We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Room 805 and found its location convenient, especially being close to the spa. We appreciate your helpful tips about the views further down the dock—it’s always great to get guests' perspectives to enhance future stays. We’re thrilled that you had a wonderful experience with our spacious rooms, spa, and that Abdul, your butler, provided excellent service. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. It's fantastic to know that the restaurants and lunch/dinner offerings exceeded your expectations, particularly the Japanese and beachside dining. We also appreciate your constructive feedback about breakfast and staffing, and will certainly look into improving these areas. Thank you again for your thoughtful recommendations and for wholeheartedly recommending our resort. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another relaxing stay.

Verified reviewThe scenery of the resort was great but it was thanks to the nature, just a basic "equipment" of the Maldives. Most butlers were friendly and polite, but lacked a strong sense of responsibility. Our main butler only shared resort information when prompted. The food was generally good, except for the lunch on Friday, of which the taste was below our expectation. The Maldivian seafood dinner, offered occasionally once or twice a month, was pretty good.
Dear sean-tw, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the stunning natural beauty of the Maldives and appreciated the overall ambiance of our resort. We also sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding the friendliness and politeness of our team. That said, we’re sorry to learn that your experience with your main butler did not fully meet expectations. Providing attentive and proactive service is a key part of our commitment, and we will address this internally to ensure a higher level of responsibility and initiative from our team moving forward. We’ve also noted your feedback regarding the Friday lunch and will share it with our culinary team for review and improvement. On a positive note, we're glad you enjoyed the Maldivian seafood dinner—it's wonderful to know it left a good impression. Thank you once again for your thoughtful comments.

Verified reviewOur stay here was magical. From the moment we arrived, everything was very orderly at the airport and with check-in. We really enjoyed our room and went snorkeling every morning which was amazing. Food did exceed our expectations. Staff and service were impeccable as was cleanliness.
Nothing not to like. The cost of water villas are high in the Maldives, I would say largely because of government taxes. But when you break down the daily cost of food and beverages as well as the experience, it is worth it. *Cruise ship guests may visit the resort. We found that they corralled by the pool and took up all of the loungers and hammocks. This was frustrating so I’d definitely recommend finding out if they’ll be there during your stay and to arrive at the pool area early if you plan to spend time there.
Dear Ariana, Thank you for sharing your magical experience with us, We're delighted to hear that everything went smoothly from your arrival, and that you enjoyed snorkeling, the food, and our impeccable service.

House keeping staff Mani is amazing he came to clean villa twice daily and also decorated on arrival. Restaurant waiting staff was all courteous specially Nalaka. Japanese restaurant service and food were great. It's a very small island for shorter stays it's good. Our butler Saurav was also helpful throughout. Sunrise villas has a view of beach , greenery of island and skyline of Male at night. I found it better than sunset villas. Spa is too good. Submarine experience was great.. unique activity. Overall a magical stay for first time in Maldives.
Check in and froht desk: On arrival Check in could be improved by giving proper information of inclusions. I found that i had a free sunset cruise on second last day when I visited to check the rates for it. However they put it on dolphin cruise instead and it was fabulous too. Queeny on reception was rude from beginning. When you spend so much money staff shouldn't ruin it for the guests. Also when I booked submarine experience someone told us the wrong time on phone for activity the boat was supposed to depart at 9.15 and they told us to be at reception at 9.30am. Food: Could add more variety to menu, felt it was bit limited. Villas: Are in need some maintenance and updating hot tub etc. You expect a bit better for the price and 5 star rating.
