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.).

CyprusWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at OZEN in the Maldives. The transfer was very smooth and convenient, with a comfortable boat ride. Our butler, Maftuna, was simply amazing – she explained everything in detail, was always available, and organized a truly unforgettable vacation for us. She also speaks Russian, which was a big plus. The resort offers babysitting services, and we were so grateful for Samira, the Russian-speaking nanny, who helped us a lot with our little one. Food can feel a bit repetitive, but the chef is always happy to prepare something special upon request, which made dining a very pleasant experience. Housekeeping was excellent, with our villa cleaned perfectly twice a day. The villas are located on both the sunrise and sunset sides – honestly, there’s not much difference, as the entry into the lagoon is very similar everywhere. The gym is well-equipped, and there’s also a sauna and steam room. We also tried the spa, and the massage was professional and truly relaxing. The quality of the drinks and alcohol was also very good. In terms of value for money, OZEN delivers exactly what it promises – a luxurious holiday at a fair price. Of course, if you are looking for the ultimate ultra-luxury experience, the cost would be on a completely different level. Overall, our stay was nothing short of amazing – a truly luxurious and memorable holiday.

United Arab EmiratesSadly the weather was rainy and cloudy during the time of our stay but we can’t fault the property for that. The remote control for the TV in the room did not work and the scale had no batteries, some minor issues which the staff is working to resolve. The towels are a bit dated and could use change.
It is our second time at Ozen Life and it will surely be not our last. The rooms, the island, are magical and with the support of the staff who are dedicated to ensure a once in a life experience, Ozen life is our little piece of heaven.

MalaysiaMinor fly problem in the room and main restaurant, nevertheless the staff attended to the problem effectively despite only temporary. Not enough activities to do, kids club and kid oriented activities could be enhanced or added. If this is achieved we will bring our children next time. Fishing excursion was underwhelming. My wife didn't like the yoga class.
Everything about the staff, facilities, food was excellent, no complaints. The arrangements from the moment we were picked up at the airport and back again was perfectly executed. Food and drink quality was exceptional, especially at the Friday dinner gala and Ceylon. Our room was perfect, everything worked, temperature was just right, not to mention the breathtaking view every day at any time. Gym and bar was very nice, we loved our visits there.

United StatesThere wasn't much entertainment.
🐬We came to Ozen Life to celebrate my father's birthday as well as Chinese New Year. 🐍 Every staff member we interacted with was extremely friendly. Mr. Forty was our Butler. He made everything easy for us and arranged heartwarming surprises for my dad. Best Butler ever! There were a few bars and restaurants on the island. Our favorite was Peking Chinese restaurant. Chef Zhou made delicious authentic Chinese food for us. It was so good, we went back the next night. Chef Zhou took the time to recommend different dishes. He also shared a lot of valuable insights about life in the Maldives. He was kind, humble, and needless to say, a fantastic chef! I've lived on 4 continents. Chef Zhou's Chinese food was definitely top notch world class. 🤤 Mr. Munnu from the Indian restaurant knew we liked lentil soup, so he made sure to bring us some even when it wasn't on display at the buffet, so thoughtful of him. Yummy! Nita, Siri, Ahil and other restaurant staff were so good to us. We remembered Nita, Siri and Ahil specifically because they had gorgeous smiles. Sheshkanta kept our room spotlessly clean and restocked whatever we needed everyday. He was always so energetic and jolly when we met him. He was also a wonderful artist. GM Elizabeth kindly helped my mum when my mum fell. She also wrote a sweet farewell card and came to see us off at the jetty. Our favorite activity was the sunset cruise, mainly because we got really lucky and saw pods of spinner dolphins. I've been to the Maldives before. My days in Ozen Life were truly special. We would be delighted to revisit in the future.

SingaporeBecause I came together with my parents, both of them being 75+ year old, I am very concerned about safety. Sharing two thoughts here: 1) No safety jacket is provided to passengers when we went for sunset cruise. It is an open boat without windows and about 20 passengers. I didn't see a safety jacket anywhere during the trip. I don’t know if this is the same for the sunset fishing trip, as we cancelled it. Submarine doesn't provide safety jackets either, though the staff did mention before the trip that it is a closed air-conditioned area, so sitting inside without a safety jacket is still safe. My personal experience is that yes, it is pretty safe inside the submarine without a life jacket. In contrast, life jackets are provided to every passenger in the speedboat between the airport and the island. The staff insists every passenger wear it, not just holding it on hand. It is a closed air-conditioning area inside the boat, but the safety level is high. 2) It is a bit challenging for old folks to take the staircase from the speedboat to the jetty both ways. My father almost lost his balance and fell over into the sea when leaving the island, but the staff were distracted elsewhere and did not notice. I feedbacked to the staff about this and they helped accompany my parents on the way back. I believe staff attention to the elderly is extremely important since the waves hitting the boat was so strong that I also nearly fell down onto the floor myself.
Excellent services, especially with compliments to our butler Mujey, who is always kind and very helpful. Nice food, with a variety of food choices. Underwater restaurant is definitely a plus. Great lagoon view from water villa. The dive centre staff is very helpful and recommended the submarine trip for the three of us. It is an excellent experience for old folks like my parents to be close to marine life safely.

SwitzerlandIt's not that I didn't like. I was just wondering if people would appreciate some shows in the evening. Maybe not the right audience.
Everything was great from the beginning. It was nice to stay in the launch at the airport prior the transfer. Nice welcome and the water bungalow was nice and big. The staff was always smiling and helpful. There was more than enough food which was always delicious. We appreciated the daily snorkeling trips.
