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 reviewLocation is great. Bed is wide and soft Staff were great, they let us check out a bit later than usual at no extra charge Restaurant has a wide menu, with good food and good prices
We unfortunately got a view not facing the water, but that's just poor luck The shower could use more water pressure, and the soap could be a bit more generous

Verified reviewI 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.

Verified reviewGood location , clean rooms .
Some of the staff were very helpful, others were not. The TV did not work after repeated request to get it sorted. Then the safe in both rooms (we changed mid way through our stay) was faulty - leaving me slightly concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get my passports out! The breakfast was satisfactory, without being wonderful,. We didn’t dine there for dinner - we found Pastamania just down the road and it was delicious!

Verified reviewWe 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.

Verified reviewMe 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!
Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like. Everything was just perfect!

Verified reviewThe 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.
The bathroom had a foul smell and the room was too small.

Verified reviewHotel 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.
