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 reviewWhat you really need during your vacation is the hospitality as provided by Faisal and his team at Veli Beach Inn. The facility itself is not a 5-star hotel but you won't find them at the local islands. Here you'll feel like visiting your favourite cousin at home. Perfect location - as close as possible to the tourist beach, yet as far as possible from the plant and the burning pit.

Verified reviewThe facility is located by a palm forest and a beautiful beach. The service is very friendly and helpful, they will take care of everything and help with everything. Towels and sheets were changed often, rooms spacious as well as bathroom with good water pressure. Wifi available, good quality. Snorkeling equipment, kayaks and other equipment available. The manta ray trip was an unforgettable experience - we loved it. We will come back:)
Monotony of food and low-quality food (products) - except for the fish which was always fresh. Unfortunately, there was no choice of breakfast or dinner.

Verified reviewWarm welcome, great location and private beach area to relax in. Friendly staff. Large, comfortable bed. Decent food that suited us well although no choices so may not be great for others. Kayak use included with room.
Clean, but old ripped and stained towels in room. Noisy AC that needed turned off at night to sleep. Not a fault of the accommodation, but the local island and many of the beaches nearby were scruffy and litter-strewn with huge quantities of plastic waste. A local football tournament had games running long after midnight with noisy crowds, music and announcements, but this may have been unfortunate timing for us.

Verified reviewThe Veli Beach Inn impresses with its location, great hospitality and excellent cuisine. An intimate atmosphere, the beauty of nature, a few steps from a paradise beach and coral reefs. Cordial people make you feel extremely special. If you want to spend time in a real paradise, you should definitely go to Veli Beach Inn on the island of Mathivieri! Faisal, Anish and all the rest of the crew thank you for an amazing time! You are the true treasure of this island and masters of ceremonies!
Thank you for sharing your feelings
