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.).

RussiaFor me everything was great.
The view was unbelievably gorgeous. I booked this hotel because of the view - and it was just the way it's on photos here. The breakfast was delicious. The stuff was very helpful and nice. I definitely recommend this hotel for a long or short staying. The bikini beach was just in front of the hotel. Also the hotel has some private area on the beach where you can sit or lay down. The only disappointment was the reconstruction going on all over the island and the noise and inconvenience it makes. But the hotel has nothing to do with it, its just general mood on the island.

United KingdomThe website and booking.com said this place had a gym but it doesn't, it wasn't a huge problem and the lovely man in reception offered to get me some weights but just worth knowing!
I came with my mum for her birthday and the staff were so lovely and helpful to us. This is definitely the best place to stay on the island at the moment. The food was delicious, and the buffet breakfast was great. The private bit of beach is amazing. The free snorkels were a lovely touch as well because the reef is amazing.

SloveniaNo fridge in the room, and the beds could be more comfortable. Some breakfast items, like yogurt, would be better served cold. There is construction happening across the whole island, but it wasn’t too disruptive.
The beach right in front of the hotel is stunning, with excellent snorkeling. The beach on the other side of the island, just a few minutes walk away, is beautiful as well. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the food, especially lunches on the beach.

DenmarkI really really liked the hotel staff. They were the best. So helpful and smiling and providing excellent service in all aspects. Especially Rezaul, who arranged excellent excursions with short notice and flexibility to provide just what we wanted of combined snorkel-spots, even providing breakfast to go on the excursions if we couldn’t get back in time for the breakfast on the hotel. Also a very very big thanks to Mahinda, who always were so friendly and smiling and finding time to talk now and then. The atmosphere in the hotel is just nice. The room clean and spacious with everything working. The Beach outside the hotel is also very good and it is real nice with the shaded spots and sunbeds. The food was also good. All in all just our full recommendations and Big High five to the Ranthari hotel and the staff.

Our vacation was a dream!!! They welcomed us as soon as we arrived on the island..they explained to us everything there is to see on the island...so welcoming and hospitable people rarely!! I booked with everything meals included.. breakfast was a buffet and lunch and dinner a la carte!!! Delicious food... they also have kids menu..I don't regret for a second that I booked this way.. beach towels and snorkeling equipment can be borrowed from the hotel ..they have sunbeds free of charge, you just have to bring them back to the place! The room is ok, with a beautiful view of the sea, hangers, hair dryer, shower gel, shampoo, safe, there isnt a fridge but it does not appear in the room details, the air conditioning works very well you also have a fan, netflix, shower ok.. the bikini beach right in front of the hotel you can snorkel close to the shore.. we saw a reef shark, a nurse shark, a large variety of fish. We want to thank the entire staff for their seriousness, kindness and promptness!!! This is how all tourists should be treated in other parts of the world!!! The best in tourism that I have met!!Coming back next year with our daughtes for sure!!!♥️

PolandOne thing to keep in mind is that there are construction sites on both sides of the hotel. It did not bother us in the family room and it is not the hotel's fault, of course, but this is something to consider when selecting your room.
I recently stayed at Ranthari with my family and had a wonderful experience. Here’s what we loved about it: 1. Exceptional staff! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, treating us with great kindness. They were especially wonderful with our little son, who absolutely adored them. Special thanks to Mr. Lakshn, Mr. Mahinda and Mr. Mustafa - their hospitality truly made our stay special <3 2. The hotel is situated right by a stunning beach, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. 3. We stayed in a family room with a breathtaking ocean view. While the room lacked some storage space, it was clean, well-maintained, and serviced daily. The spectacular view more than made up for any minor inconvenience. 4. We loved their complimentary coffee. 5. The breakfast options were somewhat limited, but everything was fresh and tasty, ensuring a good start to the day. 6. The food at the hotel’s restaurant very good (try the fish curry!)

We stayed only for a few days in Ukulhas, but we left with unforgettable memory. From the beginning we were greeted warmly and picked up by the harbour with the buggy car. Fast checked in and straight the room. Our family room was actually 2 rooms with private hallway. They were big enough with balcony facing the sea, you can see the sunset from here. The hotel has their own private beach, and you can borrow snorkelling gears free of charge. We spent our days snorkelling and swimming, since the marine life in front of the hotel was amazing. We saw baby sharks, school of fish, and stone fish (be careful). I recommend you to wear water shoes. Inside the room they have a lot of storage place, the beds were comfy, and they provided water filter dispenser. Also if you need coffee or tea just go down to the receptionist, they gave for free. We booked half board meals. We didn't experienced much for breakfast as we often left early for excursions, but meals for dinner was scrumptious. The Tuna Tartare, Octopus, pasta were so fresh and flavourful. We had happy tummy, the chef did a very good job. We met the owner of the hotel, very humble and friendly. They gave us fish curry, fresh from their catching on that day. The fish curry was super delicious. You should put on the menu.:) I highly recommend Ranthari hotel. The staff's warm hospitality, a range of activities and the overall serene ambiance made this hotel and island, a perfect place for your holiday in Maldives.
