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.).

The most beautiful hotel on the island, very nice and organized beach bar. Spacious rooms and very nice staff! We had full board, very good and super abundant meals (maybe too much! 😂). The hotel provides beach towels, masks and snorkels free of charge. One of the most relaxing holidays I've ever had! Definitely will be back! Ciao!

AustriaNothing, everything was perfect!
It was amazing! Very clean, spacious. Staff is very friendly. Directly at the most beautiful beach on the island with sunbeds of the hotel. Nice beach bar with wifi. Breakfast is also good (Buffet). They give you beach towels and water. You could also do tours at the hotel. Even I was alone they managed to organize some snorkeling tours for me. Would definitely recommend the hotel!!

United KingdomWe were there in low season so some items were unavailable ie fresh coconuts but hardly an issue as they were available at other hotels and bars. Hot water in the shower was a bit hit and miss but again, not really an issue when it's so hot. Wifi could be erratic even when swapping between different routers but need to remember these are small islands and everything can be occasionally unreliable!
All the staff were so very helpful and friendly. Fresh bottles of water and beach towels available to collect from reception at all times. If you wanted the room cleaned just leave the keys on the hook at reception and collect them when you're ready. Beach club great for refreshments and lunch, whole beach and club area cleaned by a couple of lovely ladies every morning. Booked excursions at the Beach Club too, great pricing and service from the team utilising their own boats from the harbour. Snorkels available to borrow free of charge and access to glass bottom kayaks and paddle boards to at reasonable rates. Breakfast was immense and ready for us each morning with freshly cooked eggs, waffles, pancakes, chicken sausages along with a selection of local food and fruits. We were the only occupants for the best part of a week so had the beach and hotel to ourselves! Can't fault Diffushi Inn or any of the team in any way!

NorwayWe really liked the location, and I must say they had the best beach facilities. The setup and beach club were amazing—they had plenty of beach chairs, as well as great food and drinks. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Regarding the hotel, we got an older room with an extra bed, which took up a lot of space. The bathroom had issues with water pressure (I saw many comments about this), and since my room was upstairs, that might have been the reason. Either way, it was inconvenient to take a shower there, and the humidity in the bathroom made it uncomfortable. Breakfast was served quite early in the morning, so we ended up skipping it.

United KingdomSolo female traveller this was a truly peaceful trip I was able to just open a tab and pay for all my coconuts at the end the trip was very straightforward and the hotel went the extra mile to provide services even when I lost my key twice they supported me. Sorted out airport transfer and even gave loads of recommendations. Highly recommended my only regret was not being able to give a tip when I left but maybe I will come back in the future. Additionally the food every day was better and better I went fishing and they even offered to grill the fish which was sweet. Also TV in the room which was so helpful mosquito spray at the bar and just a great vibe !

United KingdomUnfortunately we had a dreadful drain smell in our bathroom which got far worse when using the shower, we do appreciate that could be a consequence of staying on a small island and accept you do experience some drain smells when travelling but our room was particularly bad. We did mention it to the staff but the hotel was full and we couldn’t change rooms. Our friends were in a room a few days away and didn’t have an issue. Think we were unlucky.
Location absolutely fantastic, right next to a beach, never had a problem getting sun loungers even though hotel was full.

SwitzerlandThe third bed in the room was a folding bed, not comfy. It was ok for a child, but not for an adult. Last day departure was a little stressful to catch the early ferry as staff came last minute. We just made it. No contact details at the reception in case needed.
The hotel has an amazing setup and private beach very close. Sport facilities convenient for kids. Enough sun beds. Friendly and efficuent staff. Beautiful surrounding. The food was good and restaurant, beach staff friendly. I would definitely recommend and come back.

LatviaIf you’re not an early beach going person, there won’t be a beach chaise lounge available. Most people just take it for whole day. The water by the beach is very shallow for swimming, but that is great for families with small kids.
It’s a great place with a perfect location as it has direct asses to the bikini beach. Clean, comfortable with nice contemporary design and some cute details such as birds in the beach bar area, gym equipment outside, nice working space by the reception. Staff is very professional.

United Arab EmiratesThe location is literally on the beach but I didn’t have the best view as there was a football pitch right in front of the room. You could still see the sea though from an angle. Didn’t get warm water in the shower, but I didn’t mind showering with cold water and maybe I didn’t know how to switch the heater on, but I suggest you ask if that happens. Couldn’t make the TV work, but again I didn’t really need it.
Right in front of the best bikini beach on the island. Staff are kind and helpful. Their greek salad on the beach bar is really good, you should try it. I went solo and it was the best hotel for that, so peaceful and chill

HungaryThe staff at this property were simply amazing, they communicated with us before we got there, picked us up from the port and guided us through the simple check-in process. The hotel is very close to the beach, and has it’s own bar. The feeling of the property overall was very stylish, beautiful and calm. The food was good in my opinion, nothing spectacular, but they mostly served different meals every day. On the day we left we even got a little breakfast box to go with fruits and pancakes.

HungaryThe Wi-Fi wasn’t very strong in our room, and perhaps a mini fridge in the rooms would be a nice addition. Other than that, I can’t think of anything else. It’s truly an amazing place!
The accommodation is located on an inhabited island, filled with countless charming and lovable details. For instance, I really appreciated how the entire team was young, energetic, and laid-back, yet still striving for professionalism. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed with fresh coconuts and a guided tour, and we didn’t have to worry about our luggage. The accommodation itself is enriched with many small details: the parrots in the garden, the stunning landscaping, and the most beautiful beach on the island. Moreover I have to follow a special diet, and the hotel went above and beyond to ensure my meals were as convenient as possible. Every morning, they provided a variety of options tailored to my dietary needs, which I truly appreciated. The breakfast was plentiful, fresh, and they always made sure there was enough of everything.

United KingdomThe drinks weren’t overly special, we enjoyed the drinks at the hotel next door.
Everything, I would highly recommend. I spent two nights at the Dhiffushi inn 16th-18th with my auntie after a trip to Sri Lanka visiting family. The hotel has such a chill vibe and is clean. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We opted to book our excursions through the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the dolphin cruise and swimming with turtles. Dhiffushi itself is definitely worth a visit, the island is so small but the people are wonderful and friendly. We bought some art work from an artist on the far end of the island and some souvenirs to remind us of our trip. I hope this return one day with my children. Thank you again dhifusshi inn!

FinlandThe staff was super friendly and nice. When we arrived the staff greeted us with mocktails and then they told us about the island, the shops and beaches as well as the excursions that they organize. Unfortunately we got sick on the trip and the staff drove us to the pharmacy and we were able to get room service. The staff also asked all the time how we are doing and if they could help somehow. The room cleaning process was really easy and they were very flexible with the time of the cleaning (not only in the mornings). The reception had water and towels at all times for guests to take to teh room/beach. We also got on a speedboat immediately when we arrived in Male and the staff at Dhiffushi organized transportation whenever wherever. When we left the staff came with us to the speed boat area and waited until the boat left to check that everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We would definitely visit again.
