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 review- The beach front view is wonderful. - It’s nice to swim or just relax in front of the hotel. - All the staff are very helpful, friendly and welcoming specially Marlon the reception staff. - The food is very tasty and they have nice variety of options, thanks to the 2 chefs Nath and Andrew. - The room was very clean and has comfortable beds. - The location is very nice all shops and restaurants are walking distance.
- The water boiler kettle in the room was rusty but we used the water boiler in the reception which is available 24/7 with free tea and coffee. - The dining seats in the restaurant are not comfortable because it doesn’t have cushions. - The sun-beds by the beach are not comfortable because there is no cushions. - They didn’t have a 4 wheeler buggy to take you from the port on arrival to the hotel and back. - There was only 1 umbrella by the beach so first comes first reserve.

Verified reviewThe property has brand new facilities which are maintained to very high standards. The rooms are well equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Comfy mattress, and breathtaking view of the ocean from Seaview room category. Tasty food, my compliments to the chef. A massive thank you to the owner of the hotel Mr Habeeb, Marlon and all members of the dream team who have been taking a great care of me. I would definitely come to this place! The hospitality of locals goes above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable!

Verified reviewEverything was fantastic! Starting with the contact with Marlon a couple of days before our arrival who helped with information on getting the speedboat across from Male and being so helpful our entire stay. Our room was fantastic with the most beautiful view of the water and the private beach. The bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious and the bathroom was clean. Excellent value for money and a lovely experience- would highly recommend staying here!

Verified reviewMy stay was absolutely amazing. The villa has a private beach and breathtaking views of the ocean. The staff is very nice and helpful. The owner is a great person who do his best to make sure guests are comfortable and will help with everything, especially arranging transfers to and from the airport. One of the staff will pick you up at the port and take you to the villa. You can communicate with the owner via WhatsApp or in person as he stops by the villa at least once a day. The facilities of the villa are very good, nice clean rooms, housekeeping with change of towels and beach towels whenever you ask for it. Basically no mosquitoes in my room. Cold drinking water available for free 24/7. The food was absolutely delicious, prepared by fantastic chefs. I highly recommend this accommodation, it felt like home.

Verified reviewI had an amazing time at Sunset Villa! From the moment I arrived, everything was spotless, and the hotel made sure to maintain cleanliness throughout my stay. The room cleaning service was offered daily, and towels were changed frequently, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and the view from the hotel was absolutely breathtaking—truly a highlight of my stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive, making my experience even more memorable. I highly recommend Sunset Villa for anyone looking for a relaxing and top-notch getaway!

Verified reviewHands down the best views on the whole island(we walked around the whole island) Sunset Villa was a lovely place, the staff was very welcoming and polite and friendly always. the breakfast was good and tasty: usually the same: bread, omelette, mini american pancakes(even gluten free version), maldivian mashuni, sausages, roshi(rothi), some kind of fruit, orange juice, and some kind of cake or biscuit. there was honey, butter, jams, maple syrup. the rooms were clean, hot water was reliable, ac was working good too. the best part of this hotel was the views. we had rainy days so we couldn’t see the sunset but still was very beautiful!
The walls a bit too thin you could hear people talking
