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 reviewClose to a bikini beach
The place needs renovation as the facilities are old . The rooms are not clean and during our stay we did not get room service daily. Our room view was a construction site 5 meters away from our building so dust and noise came from the windows constantly. The bed sheets were dirty and smell.

Verified reviewWe had a room right at the top which had a small balcony overlooking the beach with great sea views. The location was good and much more relaxed than staying in the centre of Male. There are plenty of places to eat nearby & it’s walking distance to a supermarket. The pick-up from the airport went smoothly.
The room was a bit tired but had plenty of space and was fine for 1 night before we went to one of the islands.
Thank You :)

Verified reviewThe gentleman at the reception was very helpful and friendly, as i was checking out early he made sure i will be assisted of getting a taxi.
The rooms are very old. Moulds in the wall and rust as well, the washroom has damp smell. The furnitures, matresses and the linens are all worn out.there was a stain on my towel but i did not bother to ask them to changed it, as i was only staying overnight. The overall room ambience is very gloomy. Theres not enough light. The door has rust and its difficult to close or open it.Lastly, there's no elevator and its very difficult to take your luggage especially when its heavy and the stairs is very narrow.

Verified reviewpick up from the airport was good. Staff were helpful. The hotel is literally facing the beach across a very small road. Breakfast was fine. The view from our room was great and we had a little balcony too, overlooking the tree lined beach.
As other reviewers have noted, our room was a little tired and threadbare in places. It was fine for an overnight stay. Compared to our other hulhumale hotel experience, this one is a little expensive for what it offers. With some new linen it would be fine.
Thank you for the review Every few months we get new linen and yes linen get worn out very quickly we hope you have good time in the Maldives

Verified reviewGood location, suitable for a one night stand close to the airport. The hotel offers very affordable transfers to and from the airport. The hotel itself is very close to the beach, at the first line. There are restaurants and cafes around.
Our room had its window against another window from the same or another building, it was 2-3m. away and there were many AC external units working in parallel. Those generated constant noise.
Dear Guest Thank you for your review we will try and improve as much as we could Kind regards Ripple Team

Verified reviewWe got a free room upgrade, the view was really cool! (In the picture below) The location is great, beachfront, with plenty of cafes and shops nearby. The room had everything we needed: a hairdryer, towels, soap, tissues, a kettle, a safe, a wardrobe with hangers etc The breakfast was included in the price, the food was nice.
The bathroom was old, there was no bathmat or extra towel to put on the floor. It was quite noisy and we could hear people talk in the hallway.
Dear Anna Thank you for the feed back We will improve and hope the rest of your stay in Maldives was good :) Kind regards Ripple Team
