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 reviewThe room was very clean and the breakfast was good. Location was good too, but the island it’s so small that wherever you are staying the beach its just 2 steps away. The also have coffee and water accesible all day. They pick you up from port and drop you off when you depart. The staff was very friendly and always eager to help, and chat with you, we really felt at home here. The room has a small fridge so you can cool your water. And there are furniture and benches for you to place all your staff nicely. Internet was algo good. The island has a couple of places where you can have lunch and dinner, and the price is good value. For the value we paid this place was gold.
We stayed in room 5, and the fan has no speeds, it’s just running on the fastest and it was too much for us. All the rooms have AC, it’s just that we rather used a fan as we do not like AC’s. Apart from that everything was great.
Thank you so much

Verified reviewThe hotel was clean with a huge room, super comfortable bed and pillows, and excellent air conditioning. Staff, especially Shofike, was very helpful. Breakfast was delicious, and there were cute cats hanging around outside which added to the charm. They also offer well-priced activities like feeding stingrays (9am–11am), excursion trips, and boat transfers. There’s a nice chilling area with chairs and shade to relax. Wifi connection is okay.
Some downsides: they seem short on staff, so you’ll need to request things like blankets or room cleaning (which isn’t done daily unless asked). The dining/common area has a microwave, but staff needs to assist if you want to use it—it’d be more convenient if guests could access it freely.
thank you

Verified reviewYou dont get to see the sea from your hotel, but it is just a few steps away. But from the first minute i stepped on the island there was a hotel staff member who picked me up, took my backpack and led me to the hotel. After a welcome drink I was provided with the room keys and short explanation how everything works. Buffet breakfast is nice even with fruit and cakes and they alter it every day. Hotel also provides nice snorchelling excursions.
Thank you very much

Verified reviewThe breakfast was very good, homemade with excellent local products. The presence of air conditioning in the room. The 24/7 availability of the two guys, Shofike and the other one whose name I can't remember. They helped us a lot, especially when we arrived and when we left, taking us to the jetty for Malè at 6:30 AM.
I feel sorry to write this review because the two guys running this place deserve a 10+ for their effort, but reviews are here to help travelers book the right place to stay, and this place is a humble and basic one, which does not deserve more than a 5. I didn't book this place because it was cheap – it wasn't. I booked it because of the reviews, which I now really can't understand after being here. The property is very humble, and I don’t have an issue with that, but the photos are misleading and give false expectations to those who book. It seemed like I had booked a room with a balcony, but all the rooms are on the ground floor and open onto an inner garden. If you want some privacy, you need to keep the curtains closed, which means there’s never any natural light in the room. I am used to showering with very hot water, even when it’s 30°C outside. The water is warm, but it never gets truly hot. I went scuba diving and came back cold, and not being able to take a piping hot shower was unpleasant. You’d better hope it doesn’t rain during the night. I don’t know what material the roof is made of, but it sounded like there was an incredible storm. The noise was absurd! I went outside to check, and it was quieter—it was just normal rain 😅. I didn’t sleep for two nights because of the racket. The towels (I had read a review from a year ago about this) were stained. Clean, yes, but if you’re paying €440 for four nights, those towels shouldn’t be there 😅. For practically the same price and less, I could have stayed in a proper hotel and not in a place like this. The photos and reviews tricked me! Again, I could have given a 10 like others, but that wouldn’t be an honest evaluation. If you want to run a business like this, you need to meet the standards to justify charging nearly the same as other properties.
Thank you for your feedback.

When considering your feedback i could say that its very clear that you had lots of pressure & expression that you need to open up regarding the unexpected natural phenomena happening here relating to changes in environment. My dear customer, raining is a natural phenomena³, we can't do anything to stop or change the situation. Although we feel happy or unhappy, it will be going on as per the nature. The sound of rain falling may became your first experience in your entire life, so im happy that you got new experience from Fulidhoo this time. You could ask your self for how could get balcony from a single storey building, we dont put any false picture in our booking webpage, maybe your imagination hv created false picture in your mind. If you see any such pic, pls highlight here so i will remove it. As a person who came from a civilized society, we hope that you may know how to respect other clients & citizen who came here & given their opinion on our property. You cannot criticize other's opinion on the way that you are always perfect & all the others are totally wrong.

You have started your thought by expressing your good mind on our staff, thank you for that, that clearly indicated you got very good opportunities to make things better if you hv proper communication with our staff. Anyway, thank you for accepting our guest house.
