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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomProperty was in a good central location. Pavan was very helpful met us at the ferry and took us back at the end of our stay. He tried to accommodate any requests we had with the best of his ability. We like to have traditional Maldivian breakfast, Pavan did manage to accommodate our request for this on two days but the other days we were given continental breakfast which is disappointing, I dint want continental breakfast in the Maldives.

ItalySome maintenance inside the rooms might be helpful to put the level a notch higher, but these are really just details.
Our stay was great! We really enjoyed our time in Mathiveri, a true Maldivian island. The property is really nice, placed centrally in the island with everything within reach. Pawan was great and really helped us with everything we might have needed. I hope we can come back soon.

ItalyI recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Vacanza Mathiveri, and it was an outstanding experience! Abdulla, the owner, was incredibly available and went above and beyond to assist us. Whether it was arranging transportation, setting up excursions, or helping with any other needs, he was always there to help. The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, making for a truly relaxing stay. Breakfast was always fresh and delicious, adding a lovely start to each day. I can't recommend this hotel enough for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway. Thank you, Abdulla, for making my stay so memorable!

Italy-
The guesthouse is small (only four rooms) and welcoming. Each room is also very simple: Mathiveri is a local island so forget about the stereotype of resort and luxory, but the structure is cleaned and you will have all you need to stay confortable and enjoy your vacation. But, what more than everything else made our stay really great was Non Powan, the guy who is in charge of the guesthouse management. He’s so kind and willing, always trying to help you enjoy your days. Last but not least, we really suggest to take advantage of the to partnership that the guesthouse is offering: the first one is with, we think, the best restaurant in the island: Irube Cafè. The second one is with PADI, one of the excursions centres of Mathiveri. Very recommended!

PolandI’m fully recommending spending vacations here. Hotel is well-kept, clean and charming run by super nice and professional people. Rooms have air conditioning, fridge, safe lock. We’ve been on some trips organised by the owner of Vacanza: manta rays, great coral reef, sharks and whale sharks and I think we’re gonna remember them for the rest of our lives! Just added photos from them. You can also try your hand in scuba diving or even do a courses like OWD with guarantee professionalism. They have special qualifications and diving equipment. And hotel is also situated in beautifull island, where coral reef is full of various life and people are unbelievably kind. I’m bery satisfied and rested after spending time here and I’ll gladly come back

Beautiful, quiet and cozy accommodation with pleasant staff. The rooms are clean, cozy and the bathroom has an open window with a view of palm trees. Breakfast modest - egg omelet / classic Maldivian breakfast. The accommodation offers a large number of excursions and if you want to experience the real Maldives, visit Mathiveri! 🙂

Czech RepublicI think it was the best time we have ever had. The locals are very very nice. You can ask them questions about Maldives and life of the people in island if you like. I would recommend to behave nicely and respect habbits on the Island, so you can get closer a friendlier :-) The food was also best from the best. You can enjoy fish like tuna or jack with various salats, rice, pasta, etc. We have really good time here. I wish we could stay longer especially when is Ramadan!

PolandThe place is very clean, comfortable with good facilities. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They really took care of us and treated us in a personal way. It was a great pleasure to stay there. Mathiveri is a great island to experience the real Maldives - local, quiet, not many tourists on the beach. The beaches and water around the island are clean and you can enjoy the reef - we also saw turtles and sharks. The people are very friendly and open. The staff organizes great excursions tailored to your expectations. We saw and swam with dolphins and manta rays. The staff also took care of great videos of the trip. Finally, the most important - the cuisine is unearthly. The restaurant owner and his wife will cook you local dishes, taking into account your preferences. It was delicious! Highly recomend! :)
