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 reviewLocation. Just next to Premier Bikini Beach. Excellent staff. Ever smiling Veenita and Dipa made restaurant lively all along. Room service were at once with smile of Sanjay. Bangalee and Tamil chef duo is responsible for good food of your choice. In the evening locals used to sing karaoke and invites boarder to participate. A good local flavour.
A partition structure being raised unwisely by local rivals between the property and beach, may be out of jealousy, is not a good portray about local Maldivians.

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

Verified reviewStayed 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.
The 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.

Verified reviewBreakfast was simple and OK. Location is right beside the bikini neach. Nice and friendly team in the restaraunt.
The walkways should be repaired in a few places.

Verified reviewWe 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.
Our 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.

Verified reviewRoom was nice, spacious and nice modern bathroom. Shower powerful. Quick check-in. Nice to be collected from the speedboat and helped with suitcase to the hotel. Good location on the island, near restaurants and a mini mart. Good breakfast.
Although some good points, there were more negatives. - Pictures of the property dated. -The wooden walkways were damaged and a trip hazard. -There is now a very tall fence around the entire property so no beach views and you have to walk out the back and through the main entrance to get to the beach. Felt like a prison with the fencing, not a nice atmosphere. - Issues with the speedboat payment so got asked everytime i left the room to show proof - felt i couldn't relax and didn't want to leave the room. -At night the restaurant area was empty and they staff there would blast music and sing karaoke with just themselves. I had to wear earplugs to be able to go to sleep. The room are only a few meters away. Has the potential to be a nice place but needs maintenance and updated photos to reflect what you're getting as a customer.

Verified reviewStandard is ok, rooms are new and clean
There is giant wall separating you from the beach. Dont believe photos - you wont be able to go on the beach straight from your hotel room. They told us it was put there by goverment, it wouldnt be an issue if they didnt lie about it in the ad. They should update pictures, only reason we chose this hotel was because it was on the bikini beach
