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):
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.
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.).

I loved my stay at Hotel Ocean Grand. The staff were exceptional and so attentive to providing excellent service and it didn't feel like they were doing anything because that is what they're supposed to do, but because they truly want you to have a good stay. The beach is right across from the hotel and is stunning. The breakfast is really good.

We loved our unexpected stopover in Hulhumale. We travelled here after staying on one of the local islands, as we didn’t have enough transfer time before our international flight the next day. We were pleasantly surprised – the view from our room was gorgeous, and Ocean Hotel is close to lots of great restaurants too.

United Arab EmiratesHonestly, there was nothing I didn’t like. Everything was just perfect!
Me and my wife really loved our stay at Hotel Ocean Grand at Hulhumale! The view was absolutely amazing — right on the ocean, such a vibe. We got a sweet dessert when we checked in, which was a really nice touch. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the restaurant at the hotel had some really tasty food. Honestly, everything was great!

IndiaThe bathroom had a foul smell and the room was too small.
The staffs were amazing. They really took good care of us. I would specially mention Vineesh (Airport representative), he is a true asset to your hotel. Vineesh met us at the airport upon arrival and during departure from the hotel. He was with us all the way till we check in at the airport during departure and made sure we are comfortable. A big thank you for all the help you have given us. I highly recommend your hospitality skills to anyone needing any assistance at the Male Airport. Tanmay from the reception and Ranjith from your restaurant was also very courteous and helpful.

FinlandHotel is only about 15 min drive from the Velana airport, perfect if you need to stay the night before heading to a Maldives resort. They organised a private taxi from the airport and also back there early in the morning. Because we left for the airport before the breakfast was served we got our breakfast in paper bags which we could eat at the seaplane terminal. Big bonus was a separate gluten free selection of an omelette, a salad and fruits.

United KingdomThe customer service is excellent. I unfortunately made an error with my booking and hadn’t got a reservation. The reception team were so kind and went out of their way to assist and make me feel very welcome. The ocean view room is definitely worth the upgrade, as the views of the sunrise is stunning. You can swim in the sea, but need to have your shoulders and thighs covered. I had a swim T-shirt and shorts which were acceptable. Location is fantastic, overlooking the beach with many cafes and eateries close by. It is not possible to eat in during the daytime due to Ramadan, however I was able to have a take out and drink at the beach. The hotel room was beautifully presented and had air conditioning, fan, fridge and all the amenities you would hope for. If I ever have a stopover in Male, I would most definitely come back.

My friend and I stayed at the hotel Ocean Grand before and after joining a tour. We were very pleased with our visit. The staff is wonderful - professional, friendly, very helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. When we arrived we were greeted by super friendly staff. Everywhere is clean and smells nice. Room was big enough and bed very comfortable. Power from the shower was great. We ate at the rooftop restaurant and food was excellent and staff amazing. You can enjoy the ocean view while eating. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. The last day we had a late evening flight and we were able to get a late check out. The airport transfers made travel easy.
