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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United Arab EmiratesLook and feel of the restaurants, bars and rooms are a bit outdated and old.
Staff members were extremely helpful and friendly, villas were good, they arranged a welcome pack including wine and fruit platter, they celebrated our 10th anniversary, etc.

United StatesThe only slightly negative to me was the price of food. (the food was delicious and good quantity and quality, I just felt it was overpriced) But, I don't know if that is Maldives pricing or the resort. Be sure to plan add extra to your trip’s food budget.
This was the best beach holiday I have ever had! I loved the location (not all islands are equal) and having a good reef to snorkel in just steps from the beach. There were a fantastic variety of activities that allowed you to do as much or as little as you wanted. Every staff member was great at their job allowing the resort to run smoothly. The guides took amazing go pro videos on all excursion so even if you don't have an underwater camera, you can still received amazing pictures! I also enjoyed their pillow menu to choose a pillow(s) that were the best for you! I am already mentally planning my return trip to Sun Siyam Vilu Reef!

Everything was professionally organized, from arrival to departure. Complimentary seaplane transfer was a great bonus along with the launge area at the airport (refreshment&snacks) on arrival. Used the launge area on departure as well (snacks&dinner), payed for this one but it was definitely worth it due to long waiting time. Incredible views from seaplane, warm welcome from the Resort staff, many thanks to our rep Thathi who enabled complimentary stay for few hours in overwater villa after the checkout time. First stay was in deluxe beach villa on sunrise side, very calm lagoon in front where snorkeling was possible even during bad weather. Many Thanks to Babur who did a great job cleaning it twice a day and did everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible (small gestures but highly appreciated). The villa itself was great, with spacious frontyard surrounded by tropical bushes and palm trees, with typical Madivian swing in frontyard and openair bath in the back. Next stay was in overwater pool villa on sunset side, where we enjoyed amazing sunsets from the villa pool. Thanks to Firuze for making it clean. Special thanks to restaurant staff, especially to Shakil, the best waiter ever (and I have travelled a lot). Many thanks to chef Chaminda who did his best to please our palates and the pasta/grill stuff. The Island is quite small, you can walk around it in 10 minutes. Nevertheless the privacy is guaranteed. It was an enjoyable stay at Sun Siyam Villu Reef and would highly recommand it.

Czech RepublicThe Sun Siam Villa Reef place was something amazing, from the first moment we got off the plane, a man with a sign was waiting for us, then we went to the seaplane airport, where we were seated in a lounge, were also served, we waited for a maximum of 20 minutes and were told that the seaplane is ready, the experience from the seaplane was unreal, after getting off the seaplane, our host Anna was waiting for us, who accommodated us and showed us the island, whenever I could contact her the accommodation was beautiful, clean with a fantastic view of the ocean, villa service Arun cleaned us twice a day, which was great, all the people on the island were very smiling after a smooth departure from the island, a gentleman was waiting for us at the airport, who accompanied us to the controls, which was something amazing thank you to the whole sun siam vilu reef team for a fantastic stay. We will be happy to come back💙

United Arab EmiratesNot about the property but just as an FYI for those with motion sickness, take a motion sickness pill before going on the seaplane as there might be two other stops before reaching Vilu Reef.
An extremely relaxing resort. We booked the reef villa and could see and swim with multiple different fishes and corals right outside our balcony! The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, we really appreciated the complimentary wine and cake they gave for my friend’s birthday.

United Arab EmiratesOur stay at Vilu Reef was nothing short of amazing. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade from a beach villa to a sunset reef villa. The views were breathtaking, and the room itself was luxurious and offering perfect romantic setting. To make our stay even more special, the resort decorated our bed beautifully, adding a personal touch that made us feel truly cherished. We also enjoyed a complimentary honeymoon dinner at the WellDone restaurant, where the food was exquisite, and the service was top-notch. Additionally, we were treated to a delightful breakfast in bed, making our mornings extra special. Every aspect of our stay was perfect, thanks to the attentive and caring staff especially Thathi who went above and beyond to ensure our honeymoon was magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to return in the future. I highly recommend Sun Siyam Vilu Reef to anyone looking for a romantic and luxurious getaway!i

United KingdomIt would help to have a broom in the room so we can sweep out sand ourselves (our room was cleaned twice a day to help with this, but it would be handy to do it ourselves too). Prices for activities are far too overpriced, some should be included with cost of stay.
Everything! The place was truly an island paradise. We were greeted on arrival by Didi who was contactable via WhatsApp if we had any questions. Sabeiul did a great job of cleaning the room and topping up everything we needed. We were told Chef Buwan was responsible for the food and we were happy with the selections each day. There were plenty of options. All staff were very attentive and friendly. Shout out to Shasha at the Aqua bar and Ranjith at Nautilus Bar, also to Anis at the spa. We chose this place for our honeymoon and couldn't have been happier, they provided us with a honeymoon package and the attention to detail with this was so thoughtful. The overwater villa was a dream (although the sound from either pool pump or air con could get a bit loud at times).
