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.).

South AfricaI was not aware of the additional Green Tax I had to pay and was not informed about it upfront.
The fact that the hotel is right on the beach is a big plus. The staff was very accommodating and extremely helpful.

United Arab EmiratesThe advertised beach access does not exist, or maybe it used to, but not anymore. The property is fenced, so you have to go out and enter Gulhi from the main entrance. This is still okay since it is only a minute or 2 walk. Our room was not cleaned in the 2 days we’ve stayed. Breakfast is not that good.
Stayed at Premier Beach for 2 days from 28-30 March 2025. The property is really good, they only have 4 villa type rooms by the lush garden, so it wasn’t crowded at all. The Staff and the owner were all friendly.

Czech RepublicOur TV worked, and even YouTube wouldn't play on the TV in the evening. But we survived, at least we went to bed early and rested.
We spent 4 nights there and everything was fine. We didn't spend much time in the room. For sleeping, relaxing and showering everything was fine. The breakfast was the same, but we liked it. The beach about 10 m away was absolutely amazing. That was the main reason why we chose the accommodation. The beaches were catalog-worthy, great snorkeling.

United StatesI felt like being watched all the time,that been said,it was a small island. I saw the guy from the hotel everywhere,so i could n't explore other hotel for eating. Also our speedboat was at 1 pm.We had to check out at 11 AM. We had to sit in the hot lobby room/ cafetaria for 2 hours which was very uncomfortable on a very hot day. We were literally drenching in sweats during our travel back home.
the hotel staff were very good.Especially the 2 girls from Nepal and the kitchen chef.

Argentina-There was a constant noise like a water pump turning on and off throughout the night, which was very disturbing for sleeping. -They don't have vegetarian options. -The breakfast was very poor. Just eggs with three toasts, and very rarely did they have fruits. -The bathroom would get completely wet when you showered.
The best thing about the hotel is its great location right by Bikini Beach. The staff does not speak English, although they put in a lot of effort to understand you; most of the time, communication was impossible. The restaurant staff were very nice and tried to help, but unfortunately, the lack of English made the stay a bit more complicated. -The restaurant prices are excessively higher than the rest of the island. I do not recommend eating at the hotel as just a few meters away you can find the same food for less than half the price. -They charge in dollars, and if you want to pay with a card, they charge an extra fee for card payments. -The room was comfortable.

GermanySee above! I didn´t like to see this lots of trash all over this tiny island. And there was some kind of bad smoke because of burning plastic or whatever else. The area of the hotel itself was ok.
The continental breakfast was ok, but no second cup of coffee or fresh juice, but a very good fruitbowl. No friendly service in the mornings. The manager and the other service personell were very friendly and helpful.

Saudi ArabiaThe A/C blowing out sand, so sand is in the bed/ sheets, and it's not healthy to breathe that all night we both woke up with sore throats and runny nose. The bathroom floor under the sink not slanted enough to drain the water properly, and the toilet seat cover won't stay open so keeps closing on you while sitting on the toilet. The beds are super hard, not very comfortable. No tables by sunchairs, no beachside service of drinks or food. GREAT restaurant around the corner at Aalya Hotel.
For the price, does the job. We liked how close to the beach it was and that they had some sunchairs with shade available. A/C rooms, remodeled bathrooms. Hot water, mini kitchen with kettle. Water bottles were provided. SEPARATED portion of the floor for the shower!!!

GermanyThere is something very wrong with the management of the hotel. It could be the most attractive place in Ghuli but it’s a bit drab and chaotic. There is no one at the reception and we did not use their kitchen because it simply is not appealing.
Practically in the beach which was such a bonus. Rooms are very decent and it’s the best location in Gulhi.

NetherlandsThe deluxe rooms are only a few steps away from the beautiful bikini beach. The rooms were spacious and the food served in the restaurant was very tasty! This is a more luxurious accommodation compared to the accommodations we’ve seen so far on the local islands. Good to know: an ATM is being build on the island, it just wasn’t installed yet when we were there.

ItalyThe room is not very clean, I woke up with a cockroache in my bed and it was not a nice surprise The breakfast is in the avarage of continental breakfast in mostly of the restaurant/hotels/etc... I tried the Kottu in the evening, it was good but doesn't come with any side dish, which will be very nice to have, like it happens in other restaurants of the island where u get papadamus, some cucumber and tomato sliced, etc...
Location is very quite, right on the beach and next t the restaurant but not exposed to the public eyes. The room is big enough and comfortable, same for the toilette The girls at the reception are very kind and polite 😊
