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 Arab EmiratesThe food could be better or a lot cheaper as some dishes did not meet our expectations for what we paid. Breakfast is good but lunch and dinner have room for improvement.
Beautiful resort with nice spacious rooms and cool island vibes. We stayed in a garden villa for three nights. Diving was included for certified divers and the diving centre is one of the best I’ve been, absolutely wonderful! The staff were kind and helpful throughout our stay. Good value for money, highly recommended!

IndiaToo many flies in the buffet area. Please find a solution To it. That’s the only thing which needs immediate attention. We found the spa slightly average too, we paid a decent amount but neither was the massage relaxing nor was it worth the price.
Excellent property , slightly old in it’s interiors but really massive and has good rooms. Certain things like curtains need refurbishing, but Always clean. Our room was beach facing and we had our own tiny private beach spot. The room was decently sized. Highlight of the property - we got 2 free dives each day! 8 Dives in total for us - all in different locations. The property is surrounded by amazing dive sites. Easy spotting of sharks, eagle rays, turtles and many varieties of fish. Beautiful sites! Luca, Shan and Shahudh are amazing dive instructors. Mark- the property manager was very warm and welcoming throughout our trip and ensured we are well taken care of. I have certain food allergies, Chef Badal ensured i have proper meals, desserts and salads every day. He was very kind and generous with the customised meals. On my birthday, he even made a gluten free cake :) Ismail, Sajid and the entire f&b staff was too kind. After being to 4 different hotels in Maldives, two of them being 5 stars, i loved the hospitality of this hotel. Really Good.

United StatesI was disappointed with the food as it wasn't up to par! The spread was excellent & most items were delicious! However, there were a few items that were served stale & dry (like sambar, potato curry, muesli, baked fish, etc ). The food options were plenty but were not made authentic and tasty. Was disappointed with the calamari I had ordered. Overall, the food options were plenty, but the quality can be improved!
The customer service was exceptional! We stayed 3 nights and 4 days.. Anushka, Nasillo & the manager at the reception were very cordial and extremely helpful by answering all my questions promptly. Excellent service by Sreenju & Najum at the Kandooma Cafe! Sreenju went out of the way to serve and help us get whatever we needed during breakfast and dinner! Bee at the sports center is another person who was exceptional with his service.. This place runs because of its people and their excellent customer service.

PakistanExceptional resort meeting up to the high quality standards for what you pay. We booked the beach villa as well as the ocean villa for our stay. The villas were spacious and clean with amazing sunset views. The staff at the resort was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurants served good food and breakfast. Bala helped us out a lot during our stay at the resort.

The room had everything you need and is perfectly set up, the bathroom is very spacious with an amazing outside shower. Great private outdoor space and the resort pool is lovely. Very good snorkelling right from the beach (spotted small sharks and eagle ray). The service was excellent and the diving and diving team were amazing! Would love to go back!

IndiaThe staffs are very kind and friendly. A special shout out to Nasillo at the reception who was very helpful and genuinely kind. Also Ratheesh and Ranjith at the bar who are attentive throughout. The food was amazing and the buffet had a very good variety of options. Every day the menu was different which was good to avoid get bored of eating the same. There are a lot of activities within the premises. Come with mosquito repellent as it is a tropical island.

We choosed this hotel for the first part of our honey moon and stayed on an water villa . For us everything was superb and we enjoyed the whole stay. The view from our room and the posibillity to do snorkeling straight from the villa is a big plus . If you are malicious you can spot some improvements that can be done in the room but for us was those things weren’t so important to ruin our stay. Resort was nice and we liked it to walk around it . The staff has been fantastic and receptive with all our demands

AustraliaIt didn’t impact our stay at all, but there is substantial construction happening on the nearby island, visible from some parts of the beach, but not from the pool (one of the best pool vistas we’ve ever seen, overlooking a beautiful little bay).
We spent two nights in a garden villa at Kandooma at the end of a two-week stay in the Maldives and absolutely loved it (after a week on a small liveaboard and a second week on a lovely local island). Kandooma’s pool was massive and fantastic, the surrounding waters and beach were stunning, the breakfast buffet was sumptuous, beach bar cocktails were delicious and the food in the restaurants was tasty, particularly at Bokkurra Coffee Club. Staff were attentive and hard working and the island is kept clean and pristine. It had all the facilities we could ask for, at a lower price than the more expensive resort islands. The resort’s speedboat transfer cost was USD$150 each return (a little over 30 mins in calm conditions), and was more comfortable than a standard speedboat experience. We would love to have spent a little longer at this gorgeous place.
