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 reviewExceptional little guesthouse and host. Superb location on this small island. Everything can be reached within minutes by foot. Jan, our host, was extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much of a problem. Free bicycles were a superb bonus. The boat to 'Chickens' as well as 'Cokes' are a short 3 minute walk away. All in all we had a perfect family holiday here. We enjoyed it so much, we can't wait to get back there.

Verified reviewI had such a fantastic time at TwinPalm Guesthouse. Everything looks beautiful and the place has such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are spotless, the beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning works perfectly, all of which made my stay very pleasant. The vibe is great, and the owner and staff are kind and helpful. They made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. I’ll definitely be coming back to this place.

Verified reviewSpacious family room. We normally book two rooms with our kids but had one with a queen and two twins and found it to be both roomy and cosy. We loved walking to the sand bar at low tide.
Nothing — it was great. The communal breakfasts and optional dinners are a nice way to get to meet other travelers.

All the beaches on Thulusdhoo are public but not all hotels comply with this.

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay. Jan (the host) was super helpful and kind. We recommend to ask him for excursions - there are a few different he can arrange for you. The localization was perfect - only 2 minutes from bikini beach, close to many different restaurants and shops. The room was pretty, clean and spacious. All necessary amenities were provided. Additionally, we liked to use the bikes, which were available in the guest house. Breakfasts were good, although a little monotonous.
If you have an option - choose a room with the balcony, because otherwise you may get a room downstairs, right next to the dining place. It has a little bit lower standard comparing to other rooms and it is not soundproof at all, so especially in the morning you would hear every single noise and conversation coming from the yard.

Verified reviewThe host Jan made our stay incredible. He reached out beforehand through whatsapp, picked us up at the port and helped us with everything we needed during our stay. He was like a friend to us! The room was super nice, clean and comfortable. We also loved the bikes which allowed us to roam the island freely. We really loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
Nothing. I guess if you want sea or beach view you need to keep in mind that this hotel doesn’t have it but for a small island like Thulusdhoo you get all the beach you need.
Thank you guys. Very appreciate your kind words. All the best to you !!
