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 reviewWe had a fantastic four-night stay here, and everything exceeded our expectations. Hussain, the manager, is incredibly kind, welcoming, and goes out of his way to ensure guests feel at home. His staff is just as friendly and hospitable, serving us a delicious breakfast every morning with a smile. The rooms are comfortable, equipped with air conditioning and a small mini-fridge, making our stay even more convenient. Surfing enthusiasts will love that you can rent surfboards for $20 per day, and Hussain can arrange boat trips to various surf spots. The boat rides cost $20 per person if you're only two people, but drop to $10 per person if you're three or more. Highly recommend surfing Honkey’s—it’s an amazing spot with great waves! Would absolutely stay here again.
Some areas was not properly cleaned

Verified reviewHusain was amazing, he’s very friendly and helpful. The lodge is located a few minutes from the pier and a bunch of restaurants and the bikini beach is within 5 min walk.
The breakfast was served in the terrace, full of flies and mosquitoes, didn’t enjoy that. The toilet needs more toiletries.

Verified review- Staff is very friendly and helpful. Hussain was quick in answering my questions, helped me in transportations and welcomed me at the boat. - Location is great - Room was clean and fun - Bed and pillows were comfortable - Very good WiFi - nice decent breakfast
- Although the bathroom is big enough to accommodate both toilet and shower, showering will make the whole bathroom wet. Little details but never disturbed me personally

Verified reviewGood location close to the marina where all the ferries and boats for surfing and diving dock. The lodge has AC, hot water, wifi, clean rooms, and comfy beds with a variety of pillows. Excellent value.
Unless you already know a local boat contact who can take you to the surf spots, surfers would be better off at Natural Surf House or Jailbreaks Surf Inn, places that organize groups of surfers to share the cost of taking a boat to Sultans, Honkey's, and other breaks. Hulhangu Lodge does not really cater to surfers specifically, so the boat trips they arrange tend to be of the private, solo kind that cost $40 per person per session. They don't know how to group together surfers so they can all go on the same boat and just pay $10 per person instead. Their timing is also awful - they responded 2 days after my request for a boat, putting me on a boat just an hour before sunset, when all the boats must leave the breaks. I only got 1 hour of surfing during the windiest and crappiest conditions for surfing instead of the usual 2 hours - yet still had to pay $40 as if I were on a solo trip even though I had to share the boat with 3 other surfers on the way back home. Hulhan'gu should team up with Jailbreaks Surf Inn or Natural Surf House to form a group of surfers from the island. For subsequent boat trips, I ended up just joining the Jailbreaks Surf Inn's daily boat trips and paying only $10 per trip. They know the best times to go out surfing and provide a surf guide who will show you where to paddle, hazards to watch out for, etc.

Verified reviewThe best guesthouse in Himmafushi. Very close to the bikini beach with a lot of tiny cute hermitage crabs. The owner and the staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. They respond immediately to any request via WhatsApp. If you need to do the laundry, they will arrange it for you. The breakfast is really nice and filling. They provide you with fresh water every day so you don't have to produce plastic.

Verified reviewThe place to stay is good, but the island is miserable and poor. It has a number of houses and 3 restaurants. The people are good and poor. The beach is empty and miserable. It was a miserable trip. No matter what happens to you, do not go to this island even if it is the last job in your life.

During our stay we asked to be transferred to another room and Hussain let us change rooms the earliest possible. Also upon request they help you book transfers to and from Malé. My kid loved the gun rides they gave us to and from pier in their tiny golf car. The rooms are kept clean and tidy. Also Karim does a great job of cooking meals. His food was always super tasty even if simple and servings are very generous in size.
