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 reviewOur stay was absolutely wonderful – amazing staff, perfect location, and everything was very clean. A special highlight was Shariq, who personally takes care of the guests and is always available to help with anything you need. He also organizes fantastic tours to the nearby coral garden, as well as shark and turtle dives 🐢🦈🤿. On top of that, he captures incredible photos underwater or with his drone and impresses with his detailed knowledge about marine life. 🐠🐳🪼. We would definitely recommend! 🙏

Verified reviewThe room not bad, there is a Tv but it's only if You have Yourself (account) Netflix, not Channels to inform You at all. WiFi works well and bed confortable.
The Administrador called Selvam, He didn't hear that my reservation I did ""on the 28th OF JULY 2024"". That day the GREEN TAX in Maldives were 3 Dollars (according to my Booking.com reservation) per night and per person but! In 2025 the Government changed to 6 Dollars. I have received the information the day that I arrived HOWEVER THE HOTEL HAD MY EMAIL TO INFORM ME WITH ENOUGH TIME!. NO SINGLE APOLOGIES FROM MISTER SELVAM!. HE ONLY SAID: ALL MUST TO PAY IT!, OF COURSE I DID! MISTER SELVAM. Also I booked a Triple Deluxe room for one person because I couldn't book a Single or Double room on the 28th of July 2024. When Mister SHARIQ brought me to my room, what I got was a Double. I contacted Mister Selvam again and His answer: I didn't charge for 3 people... However Booking.com saw something strange on my reservation!. About the Team at the Hotel.... there is a Indian Guy called SHARIQ (I think, He was responsible for the trips and Hotel). He gave Me His WhatsApp to contact Him at any time (according to Him). I just contacted Him 3 times because I wanted to make a trip during my 7 nights!. No single day He contacted Me!, the trips what I wanted, He wanted to sell Me another one instead what on His list were!. The third day on the Island, I started to have ear pain (right), the water in the shower smelled to rotten eggs! all days! (I am pretty sure that I got in the Hotel that infection because I never put my head inside the sea). Thursday the 4th of May, my pains were worse (I couldn't eat and sleep), on Saturday the 5th of May, I went to the Reception and the Girl called Moon (from Nepal) sent me with another Guy to a Hospital. The Hospital was closed!, I returned to the Hotel and that Girl told me to wait until Sunday (She doesn't have Herself NO IDEA If it will be open or not!.

Verified reviewI had the most wonderful stay at the guest house, and I truly can’t recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality. The place is beautifully maintained, comfortable, and full of charm — a real home away from home. What truly made the experience exceptional was the team, especially Shariq and his staff. Their kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism stood out throughout my stay. Every detail was taken care of with care and thoughtfulness, making me feel valued and relaxed from start to finish. Thank you, Shariq, for creating such a special atmosphere — I’ll carry the memories of this stay with me, and I look forward to returning again!

Verified reviewThe rooms are very clean, the accommodation was very ok compared to other accommodations on the island, the lady at the reception was very kind and attentive to our needs and Shariq as well.
a minus is the food which was a bit scarce and the fact that other locals from the island had access to the outdoor pool, I recommend the accommodation if you don't want to eat here!

Verified reviewWe stayed at Madi Grand during our trip to the Maldives and couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. From the very first moment, we were well taken care of by Shariq and his fantastic team, who made us feel right at home. Their hospitality was truly exceptional. We traveled with our almost two-year-old son, and the staff was incredibly caring and attentive with him. They played with him occasionally, which gave us the chance to enjoy our meals in peace—a detail we truly appreciated. Shariq also helped us book activities that turned out to be unforgettable experiences for both my husband and me. Everything felt smooth, safe, and genuine. The island we stayed on was magical. You could stroll around the entire island and discover charming restaurants and beach bars that provided an incredible atmosphere—perfect for unwinding and enjoying paradise. We warmly recommend Madi Grand to everyone considering a visit to the Maldives. It’s a place we definitely want to return to!

Verified reviewVery best thing about this property is the staff. All the staff were polite, friendly and clearly work hard to make sure everyone has a comfortable stay. Shariq’s snorkelling trips are excellent and he captured the best photos of the trip. He is across everything and makes sure everyone gets to do everything they want to. Location is also great as everywhere is close to everywhere on such a small island and the pool and gardens are a nice bonus. I also have to mention the food. Dinner can be ordered in advance for a set time and is perfectly cooked and very tasty. Definitely try the hot butter prawns!
The location of our room was right by the stairs so we felt we had to keep the curtains closed the whole time for privacy. The breakfast was also the same every day, although when I mentioned I would like to try the Maldivian breakfast, the following day it was made especially for me which was lovely. Also the food at dinner is fabulous, but the restaurant area could maybe do with a bit more atmosphere in the evening, maybe a little bit of music and cosier lighting.
Thanks for your valuable response and ratings. I hope you may visit again.

Verified reviewOur stay at Madi Grand Hotel on Fulidhoo Island was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of our trip was definitely Mr. Shariq, who went above and beyond to make our time on the island truly special. From organizing exciting trips to offering helpful advice and assistance, he made sure we had everything we needed. His kindness and attention to detail were greatly appreciated, and thanks to him, we now have wonderful memories of our time on Fulidhoo. The breakfasts could have been better, as there was limited variety and some items were missing, such as dairy products and vegetables. However, the overall experience, especially with Mr. Shariq’s help, made up for it in every way. If you're looking for a warm and welcoming atmosphere with plenty of incredible excursions, Madi Grand is the place to be!

Verified reviewI love how Madi Grand staff greeted us, especially Shariq, from check in at the jetty to our hotel and back to jetty when we checkout. Everything was smooth even though we encountered a rough weather during our journey from Maafushi to Fulidhoo Island. Shariq guided us what to do via whatsapp. He also showed us around the beautiful island. Thank you Madi Grand Team. Hope to see you again in the future. InshaAllah.
Nothing was bad except for the weather in the first few days, which us humans cant control. So no worries.

Verified reviewI liked very much about the friendly personnel and the nice and comfortable accommondation. Special thanks to Shariq about amazing shark/turtle trip and very warm presence. The island is such a paradise and all people are like big family there. It's really worth to travel some extra with speedboat to get there. Big thanks to all there at Fulidhoo, miss you already.
If you are on the tropical jungle island you probably can't avoid some unvanted visitors in your room, personally I mer small spider but it was kind to me and there was also a friendly lizzard that was so small and cute and they will well bring you lucky, right? So actually really nothing to complain about.

Verified reviewWarm welcome by Shariq at the jetty and took us to the accommodation with our luggage. He told us everything you want to know about the island (e.g. when to visit the stingrays and nurse sharks). If you had any questions, he was more than happy to help you. We even booked a unique excursion with him where we saw multiple leopard sharks. He made this stay in the hotel very pleasant.

Verified reviewFulidhoo island is great for a less crowded beach experience in the Maldives and is the Stingray Observation Point. Shariq and his staff organize everything for an unforgettable visit, from smooth airport transfers to exciting shark viewing. The rooms are clean, and the hotel is close to vibrant Bikini Beach.
I hope we can enjoy a cozy double bed instead of two single beds pushed together! If that’s not possible, I think using a double-sized fitted sheet would help keep them nice and snug together.
