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 reviewFantastic hotel! The location is perfect — just a short boat trip from the airport, with transfers easily arranged by the hotel team. The rooms are spotless and very well maintained, and the beach is clean and beautifully looked after. There are plenty of sun loungers, so there’s no need to compete with other guests for one! However, the hotel’s greatest asset is its people — the front desk team (especially Charlene), the restaurant staff, and the lovely gentleman who helped arrange my snorkelling trip— everyone was fantastic. I couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough and would definitely come back!

Verified reviewFantastic stay - 4 days, 2 rooms with adult family. The hotel is spotless and surrounded by nature. It has its own beach which is just stunning. Lots of fantastic trips (snorkeling with rays was outstanding) - staff are friendly and more than happy to help. This is not a private island, so there are small local shops in the town and a few excellent local restaurants. Getting about is by golf cart (supplied by the hotel). This is an alcohol free island which didn't bother us, but if you fancy a drink the hotel can organise a boat to take you to other islands or to the floating bar. Food at the hotel is fab- not masses of choice, but what they do, they do very well. Plenty to eat at breakfast too. All in all, this is probably one of the best hotels I've stayed in which retains its Maldavian roots. Thanks so much.
Nothing- all was fantastic.
Dear Lulu, Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We’re absolutely delighted that you and your family had such a memorable 4-day stay with us.

Verified reviewFirstly the location and the island was for the local workers and is not really set up for tourism. The hotel is great for the cabin crew that need to travel for work but this is not a tourist spot and it’s not a hotel more like a hostel! The facilities are extremely basic. No gym, no spa, (it was out of commission but we only knew this once we arrived) no facilities at all the eating area also served as the reception and the main part of the hotel the rest was just like huts attached to this are, the bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows terrible, just a very very basic lodgings, which is great if you paying basic rates which as it turns out was not as per the booking.com website and further more no alcohol but this was not mentioned at all again we learned this once we arrived and checked in this should be clearly mentioned. So that people are aware of local laws. The food was very very basic and much the same for the entire stay. I would go so far as to say the food was very bad. Service was more like a chore for the staff in a place they just didn’t want to be. Safe to say we will not be returning to this location or this hotel. And to say the staff were not good is an understatement, I would say rude. There were two staff members who were extremely nice but the rest were just not welcoming at all. The reception was very messy with no organisation and the excursion partner for the hotel, basically took way more money than the going rate we agreed a price for 4 people and 5 people turned up on a very small boat and we were not given any discount for the experience nor did any one apologies for the bad experience it wasn’t even acknowledged dispite having explained this to the hotel it handled very badly and not professional at all. Like I shouldn’t have been flagging the overcharge in my invoice for a service that was agreed beforehand. Was the most disappointing experience I have had in terms of a hotel stay in a long time.
Dear Jamie, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you pointing out the areas where you felt let down. We regret that some key details—such as the island being alcohol-free due to local laws and the spa being temporarily unavailable—were not clearly communicated before your arrival. That’s something we are actively working to improve on all booking platforms, as transparency is very important to us. We also sincerely apologize if the service you experienced felt anything less than warm and welcoming. While we are grateful to hear two of our team members made a positive impression, your comments about the rest of the staff and the excursion experience are concerning. We take this seriously and will be reviewing what happened to ensure better communication, professionalism, and consistency in the future. Regarding the facilities, we understand that our property may not offer the amenities typically found at larger resorts. Our goal is to provide a peaceful, authentic stay that reflects the charm of the local island setting. However, we clearly missed the mark in meeting your comfort and expectations, and for that, we are truly sorry. We appreciate your feedback—it helps us reflect and grow. While we’re disappointed we didn’t deliver the experience you hoped for, we do thank you for staying with us and for giving us the opportunity to learn from your review. - Pearl Sands Management
