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 reviewEverything was spot clean, the bathroom was very nice. People were ready to help and there was a good breakfast. The location is good very close to the bikini beach and tasty restaurants.
The room was a bit small but enough.

Verified reviewThe room is basic but quite big and really 3 minutes away from the beach. We appreciate fresh fish and rice for dinner every night. The package with half board was really convenient.
When all other rooms are empty there’s a bit of smell coming from the bathroom… it’s easily fixed opening the windows. Again for what we paid I considered it acceptable.

Verified review- Great location, literally 30secs from the beach - Beach is great for sunset - Room was clean and big - Room had coffee - Breakfast was freshly cooked and you can request the time for your breakfast - On the day I was leaving, I had to get the ferry at 6am, they were so nice and cooked me fresh breakfast at 5.45am - I requested an iron board and they were kind enough to supply one - The hotel collect you from the jetty pier which is super helpful - Bed was super comfy - They had a TV which had different channels, YouTube and Netflix!
- Whilst rooms are not cleaned every day (bedding to save the environment) I would have liked someone to come and at least clean the floor and replace the cups. - No refill of water was supplied - I had no kettle, which I had to request (I think that was a mistake on their end) - My room had a large window/door, but there was no view, just a brick wall. That's the only downside considering how much you are paying

Verified reviewThe location was so perfect for spending the day at the beach. The place was just across the street from the most picturesque, bikini beach. The room was spacious and clean, and great value for money for a solo holidayer. The bed was very comfortable, and having a thin duvet cover made it feel extra comfortable. Great communication from the owner too; who arranged my speed boat back to the airport and helped with a slightly later check out. The breakfast was so exceptional; eggs, toast, hot dog sausages and a fruit platter.
Nothing. Everything was great

Verified reviewBefore I arrived the team was very responsive through Booking.com and even arranged a speedboat for me. The location was fantastic, and my room was clean and cosy. The staff, especially Ali and Shenal, were always happy to help with anything, including booking excursions.
I stayed half-board, but since the kitchen had only been open for a week, the menu was very limited. Meals had to be pre-ordered-the night before for breakfast and in the morning for the evening meal.

Verified reviewWe loved our room, it was simple, clean and perfect for our vacation, the bed was super comfortable (very important for me is to sleep well). The hotel is new so all the furniture is brand new. The location was a couple of minutes from the beach. Nasir the Manager was amazing, accommodating to our every need, friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
We wish we had booked the room with the view, some of the windows face each other. The room was already booked, but next time! It is basic, but will meet all your needs, who says you can't visit the beautiful Maldives on a budget!!
