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 reviewOne of the best vacations ever. Ukhulas as an island itself is a piece of paradise on earth; but these guys make your experience even more divine. We were feeling as part of the family from the first time we set foot on the island, until the last day these lovely people personally saw us off to the dock, making sure we care about nothing else but just enjoy the well-deserved vacation. I am especially thankful to Sheena; we took a full package including all 3 meals, and never regretted because Sheena is a great talented cook and the meals she made for us every day were simply amazing. I am highly recommending this guesthouse to everyone! And I am wishing all the best to the owner and the team.
I didn't want to say good bye.

Verified reviewBeautiful accommodation on a small island. Everywhere was close, rooms were clean, staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, restaurant right next to the hotel where you could have a good lunch and dinner. In the courtyard of the hotel a beautiful oasis of peace.

Verified reviewOn arrival at the island (via speed boat), staff will meet you at the pier and help you with your luggage to your apartment, and the same applies for departure. The rooms are clean, spacious and equipped with air conditioning and a fan. There is a good choice of breakfast, with several types of local breakfast or a continental breakfast served on the terrace surrounded by tropical plants. It is accompanied by good coffee, tea and a choice of juices. The location itself is about 100 metres from the sandy beach. There are many restaurants serving local delicacies in the immediate vicinity. The staff is very friendly and helpful!
That this holiday had to come to an end and we had to go back home.

Some bad smell in toilette , probably from sewerage system, but I believe the owner did already take care to solve that

Verified reviewThis didn’t feel like holiday. It felt like visiting a good, old friend abroad. If you’re looking for a clean and relaxed place and want to support local people you should definitely go to SeaLaVie. We have been welcomed very warmly and Fasil, Darlin and the team took care of everything: transfer, breathtaking excursions for a very fair price, breakfast and basically everything we needed. Thank you for this incredible stay! We’ll come back.

Verified reviewThere are many things we love this place. The staff are very friendly and helpful, special thanks to Darlyn. The hotel itself is very cute and public area is very relaxing as well. We both love their breakfast. They have many choices so you won’t get bored, and the portion and quality are good as well. All the rooms are quite separated, kind of like villa to me, so lots of privacy. The location is pretty good, close to the port and bikini beach.
Can’t really name one.

Verified reviewOur stay was really great, the room was clean, with air condition, fresh towels (also for the beach). WiFi was slow sometimes, but it wasn't a problem. The guesthouse is 1min away from a nice, quiet beach, and 2 min away from the bigger one with the beach bars. The staff was really amazing, helpfully and kind. The breakfasts were okay, could be bigger, but you can choose between Maldivian or continental breakfast. Next to the guesthouse there is a really nice restaurant and a few shops. Thank you for our stay, hope so see you again someday ❤️

Maybe is a context thing, the hotel has a partnership with a restaurant and we catched a tropical.storm and we couldn't get to the lunch in time as it was raining and the streets were like rivers, but we managed to find an opened restaurant nearby after the rain stopped

Verified reviewLovely little place, the staff was always willing to help, the room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The food was also great, this is probably the first time I actually enjoy all inclusive meals.
The WiFi connection is just ok, enough for basic use. The toilet paper can't be disposed in the toilet, probably due to the pipes, so it has to go in the bin
