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 at Nemo Inn was pleasant and we really enjoyed our time. The staff is very gentle and they do their best to give you a great service. We booked the beach dinner through them and it was wonderful! We will always remember. We also really appreciated the breakfast and the terrace view is a plus. The rooms and bathrooms are simple but always kept clean.

Verified reviewThe restaurant and food were disappointing, the room was very basic with no tea/coffee facilities, the WiFi was poor and we were asked to move hotel on our final night as they had overbooked. Finally the speedboat transfer that we had requested a couple of months previous for 13.00 on our final day, and which we had been told was booked, wasn't booked at all and we had to catch the 8.00 instead meaning that when we got to Male we had to wait until 14.00 to check in to our hotel. Really disappointed considering all the reviews we'd read before booking, felt like we'd stayed at a different hotel. Couldn't recommend sorry!

Verified reviewThe rooms were extremely small, no room to move round the bed. Nowhere to put anything, most of our stuff was on the floor. The rooms are very dated. Breakfast was served upstairs, lots of flies, no traditional Maldivian breakfast, not much choice.

Verified reviewThis was one of the best experience I had. The staffs met me at the jetty and were very helpful. They were polite, friendly and the communication was good. The guest house was clean and the location is just 7 minutes walk from the guest beach. The room was nice and clean. Our bed was very comfortable. The restaurant have verity of food choices and everything I tried was delicious. And the view from the restaurant takes the dining experience to another level. Perfect view of sunrise and sunset.

Verified reviewBoss/owner was good and attentive. Organised a tour and tried very hard to accommodate our requests.
Communication could be better. It was only after I started sending WhatsApp messages that I got fairly quick responses. The main issue was the cook - his attitude was very poor and while I understand that it is an island and they are dependent on shipping, he was not in the least accommodating and simply rejected everything, even what was advertised, like a Maldivian breakfast. On the last day, we had an early boat to leave and the boss had to come to make breakfast, the cook was nowhere to be seen. Although it was the fasting month, my understanding is that you should try to perform as usual.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good. The views from the balcony were great. Books to read.
They were late to pick us up from the boat so we walked to the guesthouse. The room we had was very small. The bathroom was very smelly like rotten eggs. The bed was 2 single beds pushed together and kept splitting apart. The bed boxes under the mattress made alot of noises when moving around. They also slipped away from the wall if you sat upright. We really didnt like this room. However, the other guests did not have the same problem. The room we had was next to the reception desk. The guesthouse is quite far from Bikini beach. There are better options on the island for the same money or less..

Verified reviewGreat accommodation to spend time on the local island of Omadhoo. Omadhoo isn’t very touristic and they are all working hard to please all guests. The food at the accommodation is good and the cook was prepared to cook many different things. As this isn’t a touristic island (yet… the first ATM on the island is being installed as we are writing this) this means that it may not all meet European standards (e.g. food is not served very hot). This didn’t matter to us, we had a great time here.
The beds seemed to be made from wooden panels, so every time we turned, the bed would make quite some noise.

Verified reviewOur stay in NemoInn was perfect. They waited for us at the port and they our baggage and us with small electrocar. At check - in we had a welcome drink / non-alcohol./ and welcome necklace made from flowers. Our room was very clean, bed was comfortable, we got also beachtowels. Staff was amazing, they cooked delicious food for us - chicken, fish, sandwiches - everythink we wanted. We were on several trips with guys from the hotel - they showed us turtle point and beautiful coral reef. We enjoyed our meals od the roof with amazing seaview. On the bikini beach we had our own sunbeds from hotel.

Verified reviewNemo Inn is a sweet, very authentic feeling and intimate guest house run by a friendly team who were so kind and attentive. They went above and beyond to make my stay a wonderful one. A couple of things that really stood out for me .. * a very touching surprise birthday cake they had made for me (a divine chocolate creation which they'd even gone to the trouble of having my name iced onto) * an incredible Whale Shark snorkelling excursion where we were able to see not only this awe-inspiring creature swimming fairly close beneath us, but also an enormous Manta Ray and a couple of Sea Turtles too - one of the most thrilling experiences of my life! Facilities were clean and well organised; the bed was very comfortable; the food was good. In short, Nemo Inn provided everything I needed for a thoroughly relaxing holiday and an amazing experience of the lovely island of Omadhoo.
