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.).

GermanyOur bathroom was not good and breakfast was every day the same and quite simple.
The staff was really nice! It was right at the beach. The restaurant was good.

MaldivesWhat's not mentioned is the extra charge for the buggy that comes from the hotel to pick you up at the docks, even after agreeing to pay we had to wait and tue 6USD per night tax applicable on every night as long as you stay. The charges are nominal charges but they must be mentioned while booking is processed.
The room was very brightly lit with blue neon lights and had a nice vibe, it was clean and spacious. Value for money because the location is closer to the south beach on the island.

NetherlandsThe property has just opened and definitely has a way to go. Our bathroom had an open window, so all the noise from taking a shower or flushing the toilet could be heard in the common area. Some of the staff are very helpful and kind. The girls from the restaurant are sweet. But, the manager was a bit cold. Almost all of the times he only acknowledged my partner and not me. Which was weird considering I made the booking. Also, there seems to be some inequity in guest treatment. Like when eating at the restaurant as a hotel guest, our neighbours did not have to pay the service tax. However, we had to pay the service tax every time.
The bed was very comfortable and the location was also good. Near bikini beach. The room was also very clean and there was free drinking water snorkeling gear available.

MaldivesThe guesthouse is clean and comfortable, with a peaceful island vibe. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The location is stunning, just steps from the beach. The Nexus Hub restaurant served delicious food — great taste and good variety. Would definitely love to return for a longer stay!

LithuaniaThe staff tried to accommodate in a downgraded room trying to convince that we shouldn’t look at the pictures of the booking and they do not depict the reality. Meanwhile I payed the higher price for a nicer room with a garden view. The person who was doing check in was unbelievably uncooperative. We a had a very stressful and unpleasant situation with this property and only after official complaint through the platform the situation was managed. I highly recommend stand your ground firmly if they tray to scam you and convince that it is a regular practice. Also no toiletries, no hairdryer even they are mentioned in the description of the property
Location. Room had a nice view and a balcony

SerbiaWhen i asked help regarding the ferry transfer i was told they don't know this and i should Google it if i need information which i found to be a rather rude answer. In all other guesthouses i got information without any problems. They only have one ferry operating and i think this is something a local person knows very well so i don't understand why they don't want to give this information.
Great place to stay, directly on the beach. The room was comfy and had everything i needed. There is a water dispenser in the corridor. The restaurant is great, good service and good food. Fair prices. I liked the breakfast too. Would recommend this guesthouse. Kk was nice and helpful, he helped with the luggage and dropped me off to the harbor.

Sri LankaI had the most incredible stay here at wave crest. Was my first time in thulusdhoo and the team here really made it meorable for me. Everyone was super friendly and very helpful. My room was filled with light (and i could see the ocean from my window) and the bed was super comfortable. I was a solo traveller and came here to surf and relax so the location was absoloutley perfect as its right next to cokes surf break / close to everything else. The food was super yummy and fresh and i even had the honor to have dinner at the new resturant downstairs with all the locals on one of my last nights there. This place is epic and i can highly reccomend for anyone finding this gem. Its new and has fresh vibe going on. I really loved it. Miss you guys already. Untill next time. Thanks again.
