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.).

We had an unforgettable stay at Kandima Maldives. The service was excellent and the island was absolutely beautiful. Our villa was spacious, clean, and right by the gorgeous white-sand beach with crystal-clear water. Breakfasts were fresh and had a great variety, and dinners were delicious with beautiful settings. Our boys loved the kids’ club — it was fun, safe, and gave them lots to do while we relaxed. The resort had the perfect mix of activities and relaxation. We would love to come back!

CanadaFrom the moment we arrived at Kandima Maldives, we knew we had stepped into a dream. Everything about this resort exceeded expectations, from the breathtaking scenery to the impeccable service. The cleanliness of the property was flawless—every corner, from the villas to the common areas, was maintained to perfection. The staff clearly takes great pride in keeping the resort in pristine condition, ensuring a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere. The food was simply outstanding. With a variety of dining options, each meal was a delight. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was always beautiful. Whether it was a casual breakfast or a fine dining experience, every bite reflected the care and skill of the chefs. Beyond that, the hospitality was top-notch. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay unforgettable. Whether it was assisting with activities, arranging special requests, or simply greeting us with a smile, their kindness and professionalism made all the difference. Kandima Maldives is not just a resort—it’s an experience. If you’re looking for a place that is truly clean, peaceful, and perfect in every way, this is it. We can’t wait to return to this paradise!

United Arab Emirates• Safety needs improvement, especially in the private pool at beach villas • Sharp angles and broken tiles in our first room’s private pool caused a foot injury for me • Second room was better but still had sharp edges that could be dangerous for kids • ( in my point of view) Coconut tree located inside the kids’ play area at Flavour restaurant – poses a risk if coconuts fall • Food is average overall • Internet speed is average • Communication between teams can be improved • Limited number of supervisors in the dining area • Plates are not cleared at all
Positives: • Friendly and welcoming staff • Smooth check-in process • Warm hospitality at the moment we arrived • Beautiful and spacious island, perfect for families • Kids Club is exceptional – amazing staff and great activities for children • Aqua team is amazing and helpful thanks to Aziz and his team (although communication can improve) during the day staff • Overall atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable

All common areas well maintained, well structured all activities and meals and the best was be in close contact with marine fauna.

BulgariaIt was our second time staying at Kandima and I could feel that the level of the service has dropped. The staff was not as engaged as two years ago and the atmosphere in the restaurants was different in a worse way. The food was still absolutely outstanding and extremely delicious though :)

PakistanKandima Maldives is by far the best resort I have visited in the Maldives! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The resort itself is breathtaking, with stunning views, crystal-clear waters, and beautifully designed villas that offer both luxury and comfort. What truly made our stay special was the amazing staff. Every team member was incredibly friendly, always greeting us with a smile and ready to assist. A special shoutout to Song at Zest, who was exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. The food was fantastic, with a variety of delicious options catering to all tastes. The activities and facilities were top-notch, making it a perfect destination for both relaxation and adventure. Overall, Kandima Maldives exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable Maldives experience!

United KingdomNightmare booking the restaurants, the buffets were nice but you are paying for service and fresh cooked food. You also have to pay extra for some dishes which is not fair.
The island was beautiful, the buildings are almost hidden by trees so it looks very natural.

PortugalThey didn’t have a changing room for babies in case they need to change diapers next to the swimming pool areas. The sea dragon appears to be an Asian restaurant but they don’t have any sushi as we were expecting, The buffet restaurants are not equipped with air conditioning so you actually suffer with the heat while trying to enjoy your meal. The all inclusive board don’t have all the options included (drinks and meals) just a few.
Beautiful areas, well maintained, incredible staff!!
