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 location is perfect close to most of the restaurants and coffees and in the middle of the way between the two bikini beacbes. The shared yard is beautiful and full of flowers. They arranged the speed boat trip from and to the airport. Beds were very comfortable. Free coffee and tea were available all the time and cold water as well. The staff is kind and willing to help and they cleaned the room every day. I liked the white sandy yard which gives you an impression of being on a beach.
The hotels consists of two parts, one new building of 4 floors with modern rooms and beautiful view of green coconut trees (no lift) , the other part is an old ground floor contains few old rooms. I got shocked when I checked in and when I asked about that they told me that this is the room I have booked (which is true) however depending on the general pictures my expectation was totally different. The breakfast was poor and below average with very limited options and one artificial juice. The dinner was not so different. I asked for an electric bike for 3 hours and I had to pay full day (20$) and the battery barely lasted one hour. The communication regarding the excursions were not straightforward thus I opted to go to a near buy organizer (Astro) which provided a better discount and were very professional. The room was basic with functional utilities, but the AC hits the face and the fan sounds is annoying as well. One pillow had a stain

Verified reviewThe staff was nice. The food was good, the dinner was different most of the days. Sometimes, the hotel arranged extra attractions, such as traditional Maldivian band with dance, or traditional Maldivian dinner, or in the New Year's Eve we got the bands allowing us to get a free drink in the New Year's Eve beach party. The hotel arranged us a speedboat, with booked seats, while some people from other hotels needed to wait for the next boat. After arriving to the island we got the transfer from the harbour to the hotel by boogey car, Upon check in we got welcomed with a coconut water. The staff has helped us to bring our luggages up and down to the room and back during check out. The hotel offers free rental of snorkelling equipment and umbrellas. We got given free beach towels. Overall nice experience. Hotel is located in the middle of the island, close to some shops. They provide bike rental with an additional fee. You can play darts for free in the dining area. The water, coffee and tea are also free.
We got a room on a highest floor, and there is no lift, so we had to climb a lot of stairs. The tours offered by the hotel are expensive in comparison to tours offered by local travel agencies. The breakfast is good, but pretty boring, since it's pretty much the same every day. The double bed is in fact to bed frames and two mattresses put together, and it tends to separate, creating a hole between the two. One day we didn't have a warm water in the shower. There is no sign that you can put on the doors if you don't want to be disturbed and don't want to have your room cleaned. The fridge in the room is very small, and it is challenging to put a big bottle of water inside of it.

The accommodation was as offered, the staff was great and very friendly, the chef excellent, all services perfect. I definitely recommend this accommodation!

Verified reviewFriendly staff, clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice location. Tasty breakfast. The water conditioner on every floor was a lovely surprise - I drink a lot of water so I didn’t have to worry about buying it.
It was surprising not to have any night stand or small table by the bed. The bikes costed 5 dollars a day which is a low price but in other guest houses we had it for free.

Verified reviewgood location near restaurants and a 10 minute walk to bikini beach. staff is very friendly and polite, organised all activities for us (tours, bikes, fishing). room was clean with big comfortable bed. breakfast was good, but would be better to diversify it with vegetables
minor refreshments needed inside the room (bathroom door did not close, walls need a bit of painting)

Verified reviewThe close it was from the beach and restaurant. The staff super friendly and polite. The breakfast was really good. I loved they had the touch to prepare sandwiches to take away the last day as we couldn't take breakfast there.
The bathroom didnt have closed window so it entered a lot of bugs and mosquitos to the room.

Verified reviewNew villa. Clean, spacious room and toilet. Fuss free loan of snorkeling equipment. Drinking water dispensers at the entrance and first floor of the villa eased refilling of water bottles. Staff was friendly and helpful. Lugged our bags up 3 storeys and also recommended good eateries such as Salty Cuisine and Seli Poeli. Hearty breakfasts. A short walk to Sunset Beach and Sunrise Beach..
Smell of mothballs.
