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 staff was fantastic, they treated you like a king and queen. We loved our stay there. Make sure you take the excursion with them. We had the whole boat for ourselves and they were very friendly and professionals. The island was quiet and relaxing. The food was fantastic in the hotel and the whole island. He arranged our boat ferries as well, the owner was very helpful and with excellent communication. I highly recommend it.
All good.

Verified reviewVery well behaved and friendly staff who made our stay much better. The view was great from the room. The host was very accommodating and helpful too with everything. The breakfast was also very tasty.
No wifi in the room. The room lock was a little finicky. Sometimes the AC was a little slow to cool.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful time at Hireath Island Home even though it rained for 2 days. We enjoyed the family room which had a terrace overlooking the sea which gave us plenty of space and privacy to enjoy our time. Everyone was very accommodating and very nice and our requests were met immediately. Unfortunately we were only there for 7 days and we would have liked to stay longer. Thanks again to all the staff at the Hireat and all the best, we would love to come back.
The garbage in some places in the water and the poor quality of the food for Vegetarian. The fact that the islands are losing their naturalness through artificial enlargement is ultimately neither good for nature nor for people.

Verified reviewIt’s very clean. The staff is super helpful and accommodate your every need. We needed to leave for an early speedboat and they served breakfast at 05.30.
Breakfast is extremely simple continental breakfast. They could offer Maldivian breakfast for a change. Other than that everything was perfect.

Verified reviewI really liked that the price and location was very nice. It's perfect for it's price. Staff was very helpful, they answered each question I had, helped me, by giving adapter. And the food, it was veeery delicious and the price was okay for it. I had to wait a little time, not like other restaurants on this island which is super good. The room was clean and cool by the time I've arrived, it's so cute that they thought about it. Thanks a lot for this stay, I wish to come again next time🫶🏽

Verified reviewPerfect accommodation for our four night stay on Guraidhoo. The owner is chilled out and exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the room is comfortable, with strong WiFi and reliable AC.
The only suggestion would be to offer choices for breakfast.
Thank you for the honest feedback and hope to see you in the near future. Thanks

Verified reviewSujju met me from the speedboat and helped organise my return. He was friendly and helpful.
Bed extremely uncomfortable, mattress very thin (I even resorted to putting 1 mattress on top of the other to try and make it more comfortable). Some questionable stains on the duver (mine had spots of blood on it). Room was very basic. Room noisy as at the front and noise from the bar and street. Breakfast was awful. The waitress was the most miserable person I have ever come across. You should smile at your customer!

Verified reviewWe were welcomed by the owner upon the arrival. He was very helpful and assisted us with whatever we needed. This made our stay indeed very relaxed. We stayed in a triple room, which was quite spacious and had a private terrace. The menu of the restaurant offered a variety of meals and was well prepared. Since we stayed for a week, we tried different types of breakfast and took most of our lunches and/or dinners there.

Verified reviewAmazing staff and perfect position. if you want to experience the real Maldives, Guraidhoo is a fair compromise and Hiraeth is a beautiful place to live it and eat very well at good price. I highly recommend it.
