How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewOur stay at Chillax Thoddoo was excellent. The owner of the guesthouse, Musa, arranged for us to be transferred from Male to the island and to the guesthouse. We were greeted with coconut drinks. The guesthouse is very cozy, the room was cleaned every day, there was hot water, and the food was simple but nutritious and delicious. We would like to express our gratitude to Musa and his staff for their assistance and advice, as well as for organizing our birthday party in the room. We were very pleased and will definitely return.

I requested for them to decorate the room for my friends birthday and they did without hesitation! Thank so much Musa and the other staff for making our holiday so special. We would definitely be back!
It would be great if there were more speed boat transfers to get to Male.

Verified reviewIf you want a chill environment, beautiful garden view, excellent local breakfast and the most hospitality in your stay then Chillax is for you. This group of folks have such passion in helping you enjoy your stay. My experience went something like this..... I was greeted at the boat dock by a golf cart ride to Chillax as I entered through the gate I was at aww with the beautiful garden flowers, plants, trees. I sat down to a delicious coconut beverage while I was given the details of the guest house and a private escort to the beach just so I knew where to go when the time came for a beach day. Simply amazing experience here. The island is quiet and relaxing, I had some hiccups on my last day because of my employers website for travel was not working. The Manager of chillax was so quick to tell me that everything will be fine and that I could infact stay one more night in the same room that I had booked for the last two nights. It was kind of a big deal for me because I had to stay one more night or find something else on the island. I had previously been in India for 1 week prior and I really needed to wash my laundry, without hesitation they offered there service of laundry to me with no charge, I was shocked. When people think of Maldives they think expensive, that's not at all the case. With the price I paid I felt like it was an over the top experience and I wish that everyone could find out for themselves. Thank you Chillax for everything.

Verified reviewFriendly staff. We were met at the airport, then at the island itself. Chillax has backyard with plenty of tropical plants. Rooms are modern and equipped with all the necessary things. Comfortable beds. Very good air conditioning and noise isolation. Despite central location with nearby school and mosque we did not hear anything from outside until the door is opened. We had 2 nearby rooms on the ground floor- one for us and one for children. It was very comfortable for family. Every room has terrace part with tables and chair. Meals -we used breakfast and dinners option, which is very practical. TV in the room - plenty of channels. We used TV for watching some football matches (euro 2024). Musa (the owner, who is real local person, born on this island) proposed many activities-we went fishing two times (early morning and sunset-it's different and very intresting). Musa joined us on the first fishing and it was very helpful. After every fishing we had special dinner with fish we caught, it was very nice! Island is beautiful, very nice beaches with reefs and turtles. It's easy to access any place with bikes provided by Chilax to guests for free.

Verified reviewImmaculate rooms, beautiful garden with plants, family atmosphere. The owner (Musa) was incredibly nice and helpful, answered all our questions immediately & he was flexible with the dates of the tours. We only requested breakfast because we wanted to try restaurants on the island, (once we requested dinner as well) - the food was fresh, delicious and had a variety every day. For breakfast there were fried eggs, boiled eggs, tuna salad, flatbread, toast, mini pancakes or french toast, sausages and fruit. There is a clean water recharger at the hotel where you can recharge your bottle anytime - but they also provide you a bottle of water every day. Cleaning can be requested daily. Bicycles were provided free of charge at the accommodation, we went to the beach every day by bike. Snorkel masks and flippers were also provided. I’d highly recommend Chillax Thoddo to everyone, you won’t be disappointed! 🙌🏻 Thank you again for all your efforts and kindness Musa & Sourav! 😊

Verified reviewThe place was exactly what I expected - cozy and clean. I was very surprised, that there is a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment in the room. As a curly girl I was endlessly happy about that! Also the room is equipped with an iron and a spacious refrigerator, which I appreciated too. The stuff is very nice and friendly. The owner Musa is always there for you and ready to help. The breakfast was great. Fried potatoes and pancakes are my favorite.

Verified reviewPerfect accommodation for our vacation. During our stay, everything was perfect. Everyday the bed was made and when we were coming back from the beach we had the AC turned on in the room. The garden it is very beautiful and the yard is full of green plants, a complete paradise. As a welcome drink they gave us a coconut, which was delicious. They offer free bikes, towels for beach, masks and fins for snorkelling, water, nescafe and tea free all day. The room was very clean and very new. The road to the beach is amazing, full of palm trees. We chose to have the full board and the food was delicious, always tasty. We book by them the transfer with speedboat from Male to the island and also booked a trip to swim with manta and sharks, snorkelling and sandbank and it was perfect! We really enjoyed that we booked via them, they took care of everything. When we arrived from Male a buggy took us to Chillax. We really recommend staying at Chillax, Musa and his help are very friendly and eager to help you and make you feel really good that you are on vacation.

Verified reviewEverything was great! Musa and the staff was extremely helpful, arranged everything for us, all the transfers. Breakfast was delicious. The little tropical garden is beautiful. We got free bikes. We loved cycling around the island and among the coconut alleys and papaya plantations. The room was spacious and clean, with a nice little terrace. The restaurant next door was extremely good and relatively cheap. The island and the beaches are far more beautiful than on other islands due to the reef around the island, very good for swimming and relaxing, enjoying nature. Thoddoo beach is very clean, with showers and toilets. It is 4 minutes by bike, 10 on foot, the road leading to the beach is also beautiful.

Verified reviewCommunication was excellent from initially placing our booking, negotiating the intricacies of airport to speedboat island transfer, which required a few phone calls to our host on Thoddoo, and finally being met on arrival by friendly staff at the quay side and electric buggy ride to our guest house. The rooms are pretty new, spacious and cleaned regularly, and well equipped with AC, fridge, kettle, hair dryer, TV, towels and beach towel, shampoos and soaps and terrace drying rack for costumes and towels. Bicycles and a good selection of masks and swim fins are provided free of charge.The garden was very pretty and well maintained. For breakfast an adequate buffet selection was provided, but better monitoring by staff could have avoided repeatedly asking for this or that to be refilled. Specific food requests were invited and provided. Top marks to our host, a water treatment unit is provided at reception to refill your water bottle free of charge, so there are no excuses for using throw-away plastic bottled water. The location is in the middle of the town with plenty of local restaurants to choose from. The beaches are no more than a five-minute cycle ride away. If you are considering an excursion, but also planning to travel to more islands, I would recommend that you arrange it with our Chillax host on Thoddoo. We registered our interest in a manta ray, shark, coral excursion. Our host organised a trip on the best weather day of our stay in a small boat with 5 others, thereby avoiding the ‘arrival in a crowd’ dilemma of travelling in a larger excursion boat. When we later moved across to Ukulhas island we were pleasantly surprised that our snorkelling trip had been a fraction of the cost to the same locations offered from Ukulhas. New Year’s Eve was celebrated on the island with a complementary seafood platter dinner followed by an extremely well organised local cultural music event, DJ and fireworks.
For breakfast it would be good to cover the food to avoid flies. Natural fruit juice would be nice.
