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.).

PortugalNothing really. But maybe a small.suggestion: more live music at night; a fire show at night in the beach? The concept it is perfect - relax! But maybe this would be great too! We had live music in the first night. Congrats to the singer and band.
Everything! Reefs, snorkeling, the sea, the beach, the staff - always so kind, thank you! The food! Fantastic! The room! The flowers and birds. Even the bats! The welcoming! In the boat and in the island! You made us feel special! Thank you so much.

South AfricaI was treated with the utmost personal care by Subha and Kritika at Reception. They took care of my every need. I was well fed by Chefs Amdadul, Rana and Dipak. The diving and snorkeling crew were so patience and attentive when we went on Nurse Shark Excursions. I upgraded to a pool for my birthday and gosh it was incredible. I love the outdoor shower. I received the most beautiful birthday cake on my birthday. I highly recommend Malahini Kuda Bandos Resort.

AustraliaThe movie nights were advertised but no-one could ever confirm what the movie would be until the credits started to roll
Beds were comfy, room cool and clean, plenty of activities during the day, but make sure you take wet shoes as the shallows are full of broken coral which is very sharp on bare feet

United Arab EmiratesThe only thing I didn’t like, and I can’t really complain about it, since it might be beyond the resort’s control given that it’s on an island, was the number of ants in the bathroom during the evenings and at night, due to its open design. It took the kids a couple of days to adjust to that. Other than that, I honestly can’t think of anything else.
We loved the Sunrise Beach Villa, which had its own pool and offered easy access to the beach. As parents of two small kids, we especially appreciated how much they enjoyed being so close to the pool. Initially, we were a bit worried about choosing the all-inclusive package, thinking the kids might get bored eating the same type of food. However, the selection and variety were fantastic. The staff were amazing, from those at the reception, to the restaurant teams, the team at the water sports club, to the lovely lady at the kids' club. Overall, we had an incredible vacation at Malhini.

United Arab EmiratesThe drain in our bathroom had a foul smell which was attended to immediately upon reporting. This smell kept recurring and l would urge management to look into fixing this minor issue permanently.
The staff at Malahini make the place truly magical. Special thanks to the breakfast chefs they are professional and made us feel like the restaurant was a family dining room with their warmth and delicious food. On the day we departed, it was before breakfast service but the chef brought us packed breakfast! Rosi, Shashi and Sheesh made our 6 year old boy feel very special, they attended to his every need, thank you for taking care of us every day without fail. The dinner was buffet style and everyday of the 7 days we were there had a different theme, executed to perfection each time. Malahini your chefs are top notch! Many activities to enjoy. Snorkelling with sting rays was a highlight for us. The staff got in the water with the group making sure everyone was safe and comfortable. They also do day trips to other islands. Well equiped gym which we used every evening and was always clean.

NetherlandsTheir Italian restaurant. Better go to Buffet and Bluu as it’s perfect
Malahini is a place in paradise, located within 15 minutes from male. The island is cozy and small, with their team doing everything about it to make your stay as perfect as possible. The food is great, all inclusive or full board is advised. You see that they take care of the island, room cleaning 3 times per day, every morning they’re cleaning the island it selves. Wonderful beach with a lot of sea life. The villa is big enough for a family with private pool and sea view. Just take sea shoes and mosquito repellent

TurkeyThe sea is quite rocky and full of stones near the shore. Visibility is low for the first few meters, so it’s easy to step on rocks or hit your foot on a stone. • However, this seems to be the case in many parts of the Maldives. • After swimming about 5–6 meters out, the water opens up and becomes very suitable for snorkeling. • One downside is the number of boats and jet skis operating close to the swimming area — it can be a bit disruptive and reduce comfort.
The hotel is very close to the airport — only about 12 minutes by high-speed boat, which is a big plus. • We chose the sunset view rooms, and they were truly beautiful. I’ve shared some photos — they speak for themselves. • I really liked the interior design of the restaurant. • Breakfast was tasty, and the dinners were absolutely amazing, offering a variety of dishes from different world cuisines. • The staff are extremely attentive and clean the room twice a day. • If you ever face any issue, simply call the reception and they will do everything they can to solve it within minutes. • They also try to accommodate early check-in or late check-out requests if availability allows — they helped us in that regard.

Sri LankaThe best rooms are quite expensive. We got a last minute upgrade and it was very expensive.
From the stunning serene views, to the super friendly and caring staff who go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need and are comfortable. The food! Fresh, quality produce with exquisite flavours and good variety for all palettes. This was a true getaway from the trials and tribulations of life where one can truly find peace and enjoy a calm tranquil holiday. Like all places service is what takes a nice hotel/resort to the next level and in this case Kudos to the Malahini team as every member of staff we interacted with was filled with smiles, a duty of care truly made us feel special. A few special mentions have to go to Yadanar, Shees, Samin, Nouhayla, Dina and Kritika.
