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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

AustraliaI feel the whole of Maldives (not just your resort) is very overpriced compared to the rest of the world. From Accommodation, Transfers, Food/Drink, Souvenirs etc.
The whole experience and quite island setting was fantastic, Greeting and Guide (Shimah) at Male airport was pleasant and very help full. Meal staff restaurant entry girl and our table waiter - Brilliant. The chefs we met - Great and their food. Meeting the new Manager (Christopher) - Most welcoming.

Amazing people, they add meaning of service to customer service. Each and every employee deserves kudos, always smile on face, wishing good morning or evening. They made our trip awesone. From cleaner to chef to bar tender to reception to spa, everything is so great! Would give them more than 5 star, if we could. We had 2 kids with us, as well. They treated them so well, we are very impressed. Personalized care to perfection. So attentive, attention to detail! From welcome with drums, massages, drinks, they made the stay so perfect! We will definitely go again! I will be definitely forgetting some names, but doing my best. Moti made such fun shapes with towels for kids, madectheir day, cleaned the room, twice daily. Amila, Supun, Samith were amazing bar tenders, memirized ours n kids drinks, always there to offer smile n fun drinks. Swastika, Imam, Nazeer and many more serving all meals, perfectly attentive to all needs during meals. Chanaka and Gaani helped us at reservations for undersea restaurant at Conrad. Took care of all details. Ghaani was also recreation team member, took care of all fun activities, island hopping, snokeling, feeding fishes, he is so fun and perfect for his job. He especually made our son feel special and engaged. Special shoutout to Indian food chef Ganesh, made everything so perfect- north and south Indian dishes. We relished every meal he made fresh. Amazing food and presentation. Spa manager Ayuu and her team was so special as well. We did couples cupid package- steam dpa, full body massage, n facials- the best we received, ever! Definitely try them n you will be so pleased. Lastly, Sydney and John at reception were so helpful and took care of even the smallest of needs. Overall, we are a fan, and couldnt say enough nice things about this place. 5 star stay with personalized apptoach, not like big hotels where you are just a number. Definitely recommend :)

AustraliaWe liked everything. Just small aspects for improvement were: the ability to pay bar food at the bar instead of at the reception (it took a bit of time and sometimes reception was busy with other guests), more organisation for payments (we were charged twice for two items that were paid already), more seafood options at the buffet for non-meat eaters, yoga/ meditation class to do the actual activity instead of spending much time teaching the concepts/ theory.
Friendly staff, facilities, over-water villa with private pool, turquoise water view from the water villas with plenty of baby sharks and colorful fish, resort pool with sunset views, activities, great snorkel, private beach, buffet, sunset cruise, scuba diving center at the resort. The chocolates/ cookies delivered daily in our room, the towels in the form of animals every day in our room, and the happy anniversary message on the bed.

Best honeymoon experience We had a wonderful honeymoon at Amaya Kuda Rah resort in the Maldives. From the stunning setting to the delicious food and lovely desserts, it was top class. All staff were extremely friendly, helpful and attentive. Particularly Ibbe and Swastika made sure that we were well looked after and had an unforgettable honeymoon experience.Ibbe was so friendly and helpful. Also our cleaner Bayezid did an amazing job and added a special touch to make our honeymoon special. Sydney and Chanaka made sure that we had an amazing experience throughout and were always on hand for advice and support.The experienced dive team took us for an adventure of our lives snorkeling with giant mantas and experiencing the rich marine life of the coral reef. We also loved the sunset cruise, floating breakfast and candlelit dinner which were included as a part of our package. Overall, we are so glad that we chose Amaya Kuda Rah for our honeymoon and we wished we could stay

GermanyThe people are the key! Beside all the very comfortable, well equipped, bright, clean and few steps from ocean located luxury beach and watervillas, beside the great offers and service from recreation manager Nishan and his team, from SPA, from diving center, reservation, reception, restaurant and poolbar, it has been the outstanding kindness of the whole resort team plus the privacy you can find if needed at this cosy boutique resort Amaya Kuda Rah which did create a paradise vacation for us! One hint for others, our personal opinion: If you search rest, recreation, paradise incl. options for excursions (islands, sandbanks, diving, snorkeling) than Amaya Kuda Rah is the place to be. If you have teens with you who need daily action and big sports or party program directly behind your villa, than probably bigger resorts might fit better. This cosy luxury resort seems made to charge your soul and your batteries with positive energy (try the meditation or the yoga at sunrise at the beach and the sunset cruise) and with amazing memories to the nature and to the resort team taking care for you.

This place is amazing. We spent a week there and felt like royalty. we had a great relaxing time. The villa was beautiful, enjoyed the pool and the jacuzzi after our fun filled days. The food was delicious. The chefs (Chef Nihal and Kumarisi) were amazing especially to my daughter who has food allergies. The minute she comes to the restaurant, they come asking her for what food she was in the mood for and they would make her meals. The servers were so nice, so sweet, after couple days, Ashfaq knew how I like my coffee. Everyone is so polite no exception from the managers to the staff, this place wouldn’t be the way it is without them. I enjoyed water aerobics with Nishan, wish it was an hour long :) every day, there was a different activity, we didn’t get bored at all. We also partook in several water sport activities, including jet skiing, sunset dolphin watching, and the sunset boat ride. The water sports employees were very kind as well. I would highly recommend.

Australiaeverything was way expensive, communication was the main problem, they offered me floating breakfast during booking but I didn’t received it , so many things I have missed due to miss communication. i have asked them a wine glasses which I never received. i have landed male airport at 11:30am still its take 4 hours to reach resort on my second day while transferring to water villa, they told me to check out from 12pm however my water villa wasn’t ready until 4pm , wasted my four hours outside seating in hot temperatures couldn’t do everything because our luggage already picked by hotel staff for transferring. totally wasted my money for 2nd day and very horrible experience while departing the resort , they didn’t check weather conditions and send everyone for sea transfer, almost risks our life. and there were emergency and no body was there to communicate with people or to calm people..

Romania- Construction works happened almost every day of our 8 night's stay, as they were moving boulders at the edge of the lagoon to protect the island from waves. They had 3 bulldozers which were working from morning to late at night, but eventually it felt like in the last day there they finally finished working. Because of this, the whole inner part of the lagoon had almost no life in it, close to no living coral and fish was quite scarce. I could see fish though, just not as I was used to in other parts. Maybe when they stop with the construction works things will start getting better
We enjoyed our stay at Amaya, there were lots of great things about the resort, some of which are: - excellent staff, from the dining area, bar, spa and cleaning staff. Everyone was great at helping us out, hospitality was out of this world - The food was also absolutely great, there was hardly any day in which the food would be identical to any of the ones in the last 5-6 days. Lots of diversity each day. The desserts were especially good! - the beach suite with private pool was everything we could want; AC was working very well, the pool was cleaned daily. Three showers, two bathrooms, one small jacuzzi. Everything in the little house we had was great. - Infinity pool next to the bar, which meant we had also infinite drinks & cocktails coming one after another - Protected "lagoon", no high waves or currents; I've managed to see a stingray while snorkeling, there were also a big number of fish of various species; not as many as I've seen in other places though - Play area, gym, spa - we used those a few times over the stay; plus we also had a 30 min head massage complimentary for >7 nights stay - fishing trip, sunset ocean trip, island hopping - Small island but everything was quite spacious and good looking - Transfer by hydroplane was great, Amaya staff took care of everything for us. The plane left us somewhere at a stop in the ocean where an Amaya boat took us in. Overall we would enjoy being there again!

GermanyUnfortunately, the juices were not delicious at all. The other thing was the abundance of spices on some dishes, especially meat.
The reception was wonderful, paying attention to all the details and making sure we were comfortable. Our reception upon entering the island was nice, and the honeymoon preparations at the villa were beautiful. The cleaning service was always excellent and very satisfactory. The other special thing was the restaurant. In the beginning, the restaurant staff were wonderful without exception, very nice and always with a smile on their faces despite their tiring work. As for the food, it was more than wonderful. At breakfast there was always a great variety of dishes available, and the dishes were also delicious. For lunch and dinner you always find a great variety, different types of dishes, different meats and other things that I did not expect, a very large buffet, to the point that you cannot try everything, every day the buffet is different and the dishes change, the corner for making pastas, hamburgers, barbecues and other things that they cook in front of Your eyes were so special and delicious. In addition to daily offers and various beautiful activities. Honestly, I need to write several pages to describe how wonderful it was to spend a honeymoon there, but overall everything was wonderful and beyond expectations.
