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 reviewVery friendly staff, rooms are cleaned every day. You can borrow bicycles for free. Wifi is good as well, and breakfast is some days Maldivian style and some days continental but tasty, always comes with fresh fruit 😃
High humidity in room sometimes caused it to smell a little bit, but nothing too bad.

Verified reviewThe staff was really helpful and friendly, and the guest house is packed with commodities that are free and available anytime, e.g. free bikes, free snorkeling gear, umbrellas. The staff cleaned our rooms daily making sure we don’t have excessive amount of sand on the floor and they cleaned the bathroom as well. The bed was made and the towels were changed. At the beginning of our stay the breakfasts were great and truly local. You could see the staff was trying to make it as various as possible! We always had access to hot water, tea, coffee. The rooms were good as well - at the beginning we stayed in a room which had issues with water smelling badly, but after we asked for a room change, the staff quickly organized the change and our room was great until the end of our stay. The A/C was working great, the TV was working fine as well. The guest house was near the smaller (sunrise) beach and plenty of nice restaurants! We could reach the bigger (sunset) beach by bike in around 5 minutes. With bike, every place seemed close enough :)
By the end of our stay, the breakfasts became more monotonous and more English-like. But that’s what the cuisine is here! Make sure you eat as much tuna and coconut as possible and you’ll be happy :)

Verified reviewBig room with a large comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, TV with Netflix and Youtube, free beach towels and bikes. They cleaned and changed towels every day. Breakfast and dinner were simple, but changing every day. The staff was kind and helpful, they arranged our speedboat and also went with us to the doctor and pharmacy, when my wife had an injury.

Verified reviewHighly recommend this location. It’s sparkling clean, they are cleaning the room daily (fresh towels etc). The guys working there are super helpful and friendly. They provide everything you need for the holiday: transfer from and to the pier, fresh cold coconut in the room in arrival, beach towel, bikes, snorkeling mask & fins, filtered drinking water etc. Would probabably go back in the future.
There was a lot of humidity in the room (but as expected from a tropical country) and some mold in the bathroom (we got rid of the smell quickly by leaving the AC on Dry mode for whole day). Also, the water for the shower smells quite bad (probably because of the tank)

Verified reviewSuch a lovely place! So simple and so close to humanity. The staff helped me with everything from the first minute, they provided everything I needed and everyone from there was so kind. Good food every day and a biggggg bed in big room. Love it! Also, I must say big thanks for the bikes. A full hand of help as long they provided them for free. The island was kinda a labirint for me, but those bikes saved me everytime 😂 Trust me. A huge plus! So... thanks for all. I would recommend!

Verified review.The property has met my expectations. It is very clean, no mosquitoes, ...Very comfortable bed. Clean shower room with shampoo and conditioner provided. They provide free bicycles which is very beneficial as by walk it could take around 15 min by walk to the central beach. However, a smal beach is near. The staff is very welcoming and always helpful.

Verified reviewVery nice, simple but cozy guesthouse! The staff is very responsive and pleasant. On New Year's Day, all guests were fed a festive dinner. Everything in the room is clean and smells nice. Cleaning was done every day, you could take a bicycle, fins and a snorkeling mask. This was a nice bonus. Thanks to all the hotel staff for sincere smiles and a wonderful stay ☺️

Verified reviewThe island full of vegetation and idyllic beaches. Excellent location on the island located near the beach and restaurants. Repetitive but good breakfast. Dinner 2 days after I arrived was offered in a buffet system, an excellent idea for diversity. Large room and bathroom, newly built location. There is no TV in the rooms. Cleaning and changing towels daily. The staff at the guesthouse is top notch. Bicycles and swimming equipment provided free of charge. Wi-fi very good.The owner takes care of booking a place on the speedboat if you come from Male. I highly recommend it.
