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 reviewWelcoming and helpful staff, they arranged all the transfers to and from the airport, there is even an option to fly with seaplane. Both the rooms and its terrace are having a sense of privacy provided by greenery around them. Spacious room with comfy terrace. Overall, the place has an relaxing atmosphere and nice architecture. Roofless shower with banana tree view is a very nice touch :-) Bicycles available for rent. Buffet breakfast offering a Maledivian Tuna fish.
The buffet breakfast, albeit providing an combination of western and maledivian cuisine, is pretty same every day. Some bicycles are broken.

Verified reviewBeautiful spacious rooms, superb terrace and garden. Very helpful and nice staff. Outdoor shower is really nice touch. Probably the nicest and most relaxing and memorable stay on the whole island.
No hot or really warm water at the shower.Not that you really need it in Maldives...but nice to have. They will probably fix it soon. Not a criticism for this hotel but something you need to be aware about guesthouses in Dhigurah. Each have exclusive deals with a certain dive center and certain speedboat transfer operator. If you need to leave the island by a diffrent speedboat company you need to specifically mention it to them for booking.

Verified reviewVery helpful and attentive hotel staff. The inner yard of the hotel is beautifully designed and a kind of oasis.
It was for us a excellent experience and we will come back. Our recommendation to make it even better is a slightly different breakfast service. More combinations of the existing menu, maybe a small buffet.

Verified reviewThe staff was amazing, very kind and helpful. The place is like a mini resort with a beautiful garden and villa like bungalow. The breakfast was also good with a lot of fruits and local, continental offerings. Every day we got lot of bottled water and basically we never bought any water during our stay. The room was cleaned every day or latest every second day. There are only 5 or 6 rooms so it is not crowded like a hotel. It feels like your are part of a family

Verified reviewThe staff were friendly and always helpful, doing their best to make sure you are enjoying the trip. Overall, the room and territory are great.
The breakfast is not at all good, with small choice of dishes. If you come late , there is not much left. An easy step to improve - at least propose eggs / omelette . The second very important negative observation is the bicycles that are offered in the hotel. The condition is so poor that it is dangerous to drive them.

Verified reviewPerfect services, nice outdoor shower, comfortable bed
WiFi signal is very poor in the room - the owner is already working on improving it. The WhatsApp response time is quite long, and there is hardly anyone at the reception in the afternoon, which makes it inconvenient to ask questions about excursions etc.

Verified reviewTranquil little hotel with outdoor shower, big bathroom and peaceful green view. Booked it last minute due to plan changes, and wish we had more nights there. The staff is wonderful, everyone is very friendly and helpful. Felt relaxed as we stepped in and until the last minute of our stay. They offer bikes to use for free, and you can dine in on a little terrace.

Verified reviewSeaside Dhigurah totally met my expectations, room cleaned daily, silent air conditioning, perfect outdoor shower, very comfortable mattresses, Android TV, non-annoying staff, close to the pier and above all away from noise and any smell. A marvel, thanks to all the guys who work daily to keep the standard of the structure high. Bikes, diving mask, fins and towels are provided by the structure on request free of charge. p.s. they prepared me, as a surprise, a dinner by the sea and by candlelight for my birthday with my wife.

Verified reviewExcellent location close to the island’s port, with well landscaped garden being the centrepiece of the hotel which also provides privacy as well as a sense of calm looking out the window. The rooms were well decorated and the outdoor shower feature was also remarkable. The restaurant at the hotel run by the two Sri Lankan chefs provided delicious food.

Verified reviewMy husband and I spent 8 wonderful days at Seaside Dhigurah. For me it was already the third time on a local island but so far no stay has been as special as this one. The rooms are very spacious and the bed is very comfortable. The outdoor shower was also very special. We loved the terrace, there was enough seating and due to the greenery it was private. However, the best thing about our accommodation was Riswan and the staff. Riswan was always available and could fulfill every wish. Bicycles and snorkeling equipment were provided free of charge by the property. The rental of a bicycle is otherwise about 5 dollars per day. The food was also amazing, we could order a la cart for breakfast and dinner. The food was always very delicious, a big thank you and praise to the cooks and the service of the waiters. We were even prepared a lunch box with fresh fruit, breakfast of our choice, water and juice. Many thanks to Riswan and the staff for our wonderful stay at the Maldives.

Verified reviewWe stayed at Seaside Dhigurah for 7 nights and had a great break. Although the 6 chalets are side by side, they are amid the tropical garden, and you get a real sense of privacy. The rooms are well provisioned, including a refrigerator and Netflix on the TV. The open-air shower is a nice touch and a great way to check the days weather. There is enough choice on the breakfast for most people and the fresh fruit plate is really good. Seaside provides free mask and snorkel to use and bikes to get around the island. Yaeesh and his team are extremely helpful and will help resolve any problem/query you have, including arranging a scooter for us to visit the sand bank as my wife struggled cycling. We didn’t book any trips but by example, a whale shark trip will cost you $180/£143, per couple. Finally, some tips, most people want to visit the sandbank, it’s a long walk and/or bike ride, and its isolated so you need to make sure you’re self-sufficient and have enough water, sunscreen, repellent etc. Yaeesh can organise a ‘taxi’ for you if you don’t fancy the walk/ride. Most of the other hotels and restaurants are at the other end of town and we really liked the Malaveli restaurant. If you need to change money, the corner shop offers a decent rate, and the Beach View café is good for a coffee and slice of butter/chocolate cake.
The hot water takes a long-time to reach the shower and was only ever tepid shower. Getting coffee at breakfast is really slow, on most occasions we had finished our breakfast before the coffee arrived. Maybe having self-service, filter coffee, would speed things up.
