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.).

CroatiaSpeedboat transfers - they combine passangers so sometimes you need to wait up to 3 hours or go much earlier then needed to your flight. Extremely high SPA prices. No flexibility for the activities that are included in the package. Limitted corals around the resort.
Beautiful, arty, cool and new resort with a funky vibe. A lot of activities included in the package. Good food. Excellent water villas. Great Easter activities.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The resort facilities were top-notch, and the kids particularly enjoyed the variety of activities available. We can't wait to return to this paradise! Special thanks for Shazu.. so kind and thoughtful

I was an unforgettable trip! Absolutely beautiful resort, with its own charm and vibe, it’s fun and colorful. It is very well taken care of and has everything one might need: a clinic, small convenience store, art center, outdoor gym, amazing SPA, etc. The package included so many activities that we never felt bored during our stay. The island is not big and is full of lush greenery. The team working at the resort is wonderful, absolutely everyone was so welcoming, attentive and genuinely caring, trying to make sure we were happy from the moment we arrived till the day we left. Thank you Oaga Resort for the unforgettable vacation!

United Arab Emirates3 times during our few days stay there was power cut off, only in our villa (according to the staff it was due to the heavy rain, but it was a bit annoying that it kept on repeating and only in our villa for some reason). Water refilled only once a day was not enough for 3 adults during hot weather; sometimes staff forgot to replenish coffee/sugar/cream, we had to remind or request frequently. Quality of housekeeping and room service should be improved. Our guide was pleasant and friendly but not always responsive/quick enough when we needed urgent help with power supply or other issues. The concept of food carts at the main restaurant is interesting, but due to the fact that the cooking/grilling is done inside the seating area there was very strong food smell all the time, it was a bit disturbing and not pleasant.
The location, very beautiful and relatively close to Male; the villa we stayed was stylishly designed, private access to the sea, the view was breathtaking. Delicious food; variety of activities included in greatest all of inclusive package. New Year eve gala dinner was very luxurious and sooo much variety, fireworks on NY night were next level! We were departing late from Male and the resort was kind enough to accommodate the request for late check out, we had 2 full meals on our departing day, which was really nice of them. Overall, we had a great time on Oaga and would love to come back one day.

CroatiaMy husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was wonderfull. The staff was very friendly, always had the smile on their faces. Our villa was beautifull and colorfull, it was cleaned every day. The weather was not so great but we had fun all the time because of great resort activities such as cooking & cocktail lessons, art workshop, jet ski, fun tube, kajaking... We celebrated New Year's Eve in resort and it was the best galla dinner with DJ party afterwards and amazing fireworks above the ocean. Priceless! Heaven on earth. Recomend it to everyone...

Extremely happy, warm staff, like my family, shasu was very nice and helpful, the manager also, since we did an overnight trip, they offered a day use villa to have a rest and sleep until our room is ready. The speedboat transfer and airport greeting was excellent, not like other islands resorts, you don't wait for hours until the boat is full, they pick you up straight away to the island.

Saudi Arabiathe small speed boat for airport transfer
We had a wonderful stay at this newly opened resort, in a beach villa surrounded by lush tropical vistas with spectacular ocean views and an easy access to the beach. The villa has a unique design and colorful painting making the resort distinguished from others. The free speed boat transfer is included and this is a plus to the payed money value. The resort is all inclusive for foods and some none motorized water activities, as well as a nice sunset cruise. Overall, the food is outstanding with good varieties for each meal. Breakfast is also excellent, yet more fresh juices could be added to enhance the overall flavor. The staff are very friendly and attentive, with high attention to satisfy guests needs. Special thanks goes to all staff and particularly to Miss Harnie our butler for her distinguished attention.

IrelandI was booked in to go scuba diving one morning at 11am. A large family group was due to dive at 9:30am the same morning, but they showed up an hour late. As the staff are so accommodating, they went ahead and took that group out at 10:30am when they eventually arrived, which meant my dive was delayed by nearly 3 hours which messed up our afternoon plans. Activities could be planned better.
Oaga is fantastic!! The staff are the best, the room was absolutely incredible, and it was all-inclusive for everything! You literally can't get better value anywhere else at this high standard in the Maldives. Everything was absolutely top notch! Dasun was an unbelievable bartender, we did a cocktail making class with him and made the best cocktails and had the best experience. Bob was a fantastic night snorkel & scuba instructor. The restaurant manager & supervisor are so friendly and accommodating. We really had the best stay here.
