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.).

United KingdomNot a dislike, but a suggestion. A couple wall hangers would be a nice improvement to the room. Other than that, can’t think of anything to be improved!
Hudhufas Villa is truly a home away from home. The outside areas are beautiful and really looked after, the room is spotless and the bathroom is functional. But the best part is the host, Shifau. He helped us with anything we needed, at any time. Breakfast was really good, served hot at our convenience. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking somewhere to stay in Thoddoo. It is also very well located, in the centre of the island close to everything. Thanks again for everything!!

RomaniaThe only inconvenience is that it’s close to the mosque, so if you’re a light sleeper, it might bother you since you can hear it for about 5-10 minutes at 2am
We had a great time. The host helped us with everything we needed: bicycles, life jackets, snorkel masks, and even booked the speed boat for us. The garden is beautiful. The breakfast is very diverse—you can choose from three types, and they prepare it for you.

RomaniaI had an incredible stay at Hudhufas Villa. The accommodation was absolutely perfect. The room was spacious, clean, and had a lovely balcony that overlooked a beautiful garden. You can tell the owner really cares about the details, from the comfortable amenities to the thoughtful touches throughout the villa. It truly made our vacation even better. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained, and welcoming spot in the Thoddoo!

SloveniaWe’re so glad we chose Hudhufas Villa for our stay in Thoddoo. The place looks exactly like it does in the pictures—spacious, cozy, and clean rooms, with a super comfy bed! What really adds a nice touch to this place is its owner. He is friendly, welcoming, and goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. For example, we had an early tour one day, and he prepared breakfast for us at 6:30 AM, which many wouldn’t do. The checkout process is also very convenient; with the speedboat leaving the island at 1 PM, you can check out at 12:30 PM and still enjoy your last day with access to your room until you depart. The breakfast is great! You get fresh fruits every day and can choose from three different options. We really liked the Maldivian breakfast, it’s a must try if you visit! You’ll also find Nutella, jam, and peanut butter available every day, which was a nice touch. Additionally, you can rent bicycles at the place which is really convenient. The island is quite large, so having bikes makes getting around much easier.

RomaniaI fit here, but not as minus the distance to the beach of about 10 minutes. But the road is pleasant next to houses, people's gardens and on the palm-lined avenue.
The hosts tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were very satisfied with the room, the common living room, access to the kitchen. In the room there is a hair dryer, a box for valuables, bottles of daily drinking water, bath and beach towels. Breakfast at your choice of local, continental or English.

ChinaWe had a fantastic stay at Hudhufas. It's my second time staying here. 👍👍👍: - the owner is very kind, tactful, and accommodating. When I couldn't make it in time for the boat on the arrival day, he stayed in touch all the time til I settled into a hotel. When we were leaving, he gave us a whole papaya for the road. - everything is well organized: the pick up from the airport all the way to the villa, you are always taken care of by a competent team. - amazingly cozy rooms and common areas, we felt like it's own own place. - delicious freshly cooked breakfast - good facilities (Aircon, power outlets, ceiling fan, fridge...) - beautiful breakfast area, back garden full of plants, fish pond with lots of goldfish. - safe, quiet, private, relaxing

Georgia-
A great place for a long stay on Thoddoo. Here are some of the pros of Hudhufas Villa: - Excellent location: 5 min’ walk to the sunrise beach, 10-15 min to the sunset beach. Most shops and restaurants are within 1-8 min. - Nice, bright, and clean rooms. Special mention for the comfortable mattresses and pillows, as well as the quiet night mode of the air conditioner (which is not always the case). - Daily cleaning and regular linen changes. - The villa itself is very pleasant, with a garden full of various plants, common areas both indoors and outdoors (on the first floor and on the terrace). It's worth noting that the guesthouse has only four rooms, so it won’t be crowded. - Convenient facilities for preparing meals: in addition to small refrigerators in the rooms, there is a large shared refrigerator with a freezer, a kettle, a toaster, a stove, and all necessary tableware. - We had a stay with breakfast included - and it was hearty and delicious. Three breakfast options, all very tasty. There are always some fruits available at the breakfast. - The villa has four bicycles available for use. - Many thanks to the owner, Shifau, who always was very nice and helpful, and fully dedicated to his work.

SloveniaI had the pleasure of staying at Hodhufas Villa on Thoddoo Island in the Maldives. The villa is perfectly located in the heart of the island, close to shops and wonderful dining spots, including a restaurant run by a fellow Slovenian. The accommodation is impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, offering a remarkably rich and delicious breakfast every morning. Thoddoo Island itself is a fascinating destination with stunning beaches that are perfect for relaxation and exploration. The owner of Hodhufas Villa is incredibly hospitable and goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect, whether it’s organizing excursions, providing local recommendations, or arranging transportation. I highly recommend this accommodation for an unforgettable stay. You won't be disappointed.

SwitzerlandThis is exactly the type of accommodation that will be remembered for life because it has that perfect mix of beauty, comfort and hospitality. At the center of it all is the host Shifau. He's super kind and welcoming and sooo laid back. You will immediately slow down and relax like never before. The day starts with a breakfast of your choice - we opted for Maldivian every day and the mas huni (prepared by Shifau's mother) was so tasty and nutritious that you forget about being hungry for the rest of the day. The room is large with good air-con (we appreciated the low-noise mode at night). The bed is comfortable and perfect after a whole day at the beach snorkeling. The garden surrounding the villa is fantastic and there is also a terrace upstairs to relax in the evening. Imho location is also great, as it's close to the western beautiful side of the island and you can easily reach the 2 bikini beaches through lush plantations and coconut groves. We initially thought bicycles are needed (and Shifau can organize some for you), but in the end we walked everywhere because that's so enjoyable as there is always something to observe. We also opted for one dinner at the beach. Shifau and his team can organize it for you and we thought it's a magical experience: you will enjoy good food, barefoot, while watching the sun go down.

ArgentinaThe bed and the pillows were the best and comfiest that we had in the all Maldives. The property it’s exactly as they shown in the photos. Everything clean and tidy. You have also a nice terrace to practice yoga or to read a book and chill after a sunny and hot day at the beach. They welcomed you with fresh coconuts wich is a really nice gesture. The breakfast was so complete. Different options to choose plus a lot of spreads, fruits, coffee, tea and a fresh juice of the day. They also have the filter for the water at the reception wich is really good to fill your bottles all the time. The owner of the place was really present, and welcoming us so good. They pick u up for the port when you arrive and also when you leave. Don’t hesitate to be in touch with them to arrange the transfers between the islands if you need it. Also, absolutely recommend to rent a bike to explore the island.

SpainOur stay at Hudhufas Villa was fabulous. The place was spotless and tidy, cute and cosy. The double bed apartaments on the top floor were very spacious and wonderfully decorated on our arrival, A/C and fan in the rooms, a huge terrace upstairs with a chill out corner and sunbeds. Breakfast in the mornings had a wonderful variety, a mixture of fresh fruits and vegs, omellete, toast, and a whole load of other foods. The owners are happy to prepare anything to make you feel comfortable and at home. But overall, Shifau, the owner, was the person who made our stay this good. From the beginning he was very welcoming and helped us throughout our stay. Anything we needed or asked, he was a great help and always found a solution for us. Very good and warm hearted. 100% recommended.

ChinaA fantastic place! Just like in the photos. In the best way possible, feels more like a nice Airbnb, not a typical guest house with a row of rooms. On my last night, other guests already checked out, so the villa was all for me. Atmosphere: The design is simple and beautiful. Patio on the ground floor serves as your breakfast "hall". You let them know every evening what you'd like for breakfast and what time (I always asked for Maldivian breakfast - delicious mas honi with different vegetables and fruits). There are just four rooms, each very spacious and clean, with a good new AC and a ceiling fan. There is a super inviting terrace on the second floor with sun beds, bean bags, and a coffee table, where you can relax in the sun or chill in the shade. Also great for star watching at night! Perks: Freshest fruit and chilled coconut as welcome treats 😊 A great plus - free unlimited purified water, super helpful. You can use the kitchenette to make tea, coffee, cut up fruit. I know there is a small fee for using the kitchen for proper cooking, but I didn't cook, so don't know the details. Rooms are cleaned every day, the beddings changed every third day. The bed is super comfy, linens crisp, and towels soft. Communication: The owner speaks great English and is fast to reply on WhatsApp (same phone as in the villa listing). His mother is a lovely friendly lady (she will cook local flat breads for you every day, fresh and hot!) She gave me a goodbye present because I was such a lovely guest 😊 beautiful souvenirs from the sea that she collected and made herself. Diving etc: There is a tour operator nearby, or you can ask the villa owner directly to organize diving, fishing etc. I spent my days swimming and relaxing, so don't know the details. Trasfer and waiting for your flight: It was my first time in Maldives, so smooth transfer was important. Very well organized indeed! There was somebody to meet and direct me every step of the way.
