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 reviewThe hotel was very cosy, the accommodation was comfortable. The breakfasts are delicious. The hotel owner and staff were very friendly. They helped us to find a bicycle with a child seat, treated us with fruit, told us where to see turtles, what excursions we could go on. The territory of the hotel is very green and beautiful, the room had its own terrace. There is its own kitchen, where you can always drink tea, coffee, take water.
Occasionally, insects would fly into the room

Verified reviewA very nice guesthouse close to the center of Thoddoo and also few minutes walking from beautiful Sunset Beach. The room has everything you need, very spacious as the bathroom with a big space for the shower. Nice towels, changed often or on request.The fridge in the room is a good extra to keep water/fruit in it. A/C and fan working well, and no mosquitos at all. The patio outside the room is a very nice place to relax. Ishan helped a lot for every single need or information. Breakfast is amazing, rich and different every day; a special thank to Htun for her kindness always, she is the best breakfast chef in Thoddoo (best pancakes ever!) and she made the difference in our stay.

Verified reviewExcellent stay. The host is very responsive and takes care of everything. He helped us with the transfer from the airport and then to the guesthouse. Also helped us book an excursion and was generally always ready to help. They even prepared us warm breakfast on the day of the excursion when we would miss the breakfast at the guesthouse. The guesthouse is lovely, has everything you need. They provide adapters, drinking water, rack to dry clothes, good wifi, you can rent bikes… everything. The breakfast has large portions. Also the location is good, close to the beach and to some restaurants. Our stay at Thoddoo was great!

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful experience as a family here. We were looked after by the owner and by Phyu Sin, who cooked superb dinner for us and always had a smile on her face towards us. H24 coffee, tea, and fresh water at your disposal.
Because of the time of the year probably, there was no buffet which was limiting for the breakfast time, however, we loved the Maldivian breakfast. Property is not huge so, internet power can be improved. Said so, this 2 things did not influence at all the impression and satisfaction towards this structure

Verified reviewFantastic experience! The room was very spacious, as was the bathroom. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was super clean. Undoubtedly, the best is the host. He was always available to help, and even when we had to make a last-minute change, there was no hesitation, ensuring everything ran smoothly The bikini beach is a bit of distance away, but the walk there is absolutely beautiful. Additionally, there's the option of renting a bike right at the accommodation, which makes the journey there very enjoyable. 100% recommend

Verified reviewIt’s a good budget staying but pay attention about taxes that you need to pay extra. Location is great and only 15 min walking to the bikini beach (beach where is allowed to wear western swimsuits). Service is great and helpful , stuff super friendly, they even make you breakfast if you’re leaving before breakfast time. Bed is comfortable.
You get only two shower towels changed every third day, sheets are no changed at all, bathroom smelling moldy. No soap but you’ll get the body shower and shampoo. You can find here and there some lil bugs crawling on your counter. During the breakfast no enough cups so you need to wait for another guest to finish theirs.
