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 reviewClean, modern hotel with friendly staff. Really comfy bed and pillows. Short walk to the bikini beach where there are plenty of free sun loungers. Breakfast was simple and the same each day, but the view from the rooftop restaurant was lovely. Limited vegetarian choice on the menu, but the chef cooked us a dahl, which was tasty. Excellent weights setup. We travelled around the islands by public ferry, which was very cheap and convenient, however, the ferry from Huraa to Malè didn't run on the morning of our departure, so the manager kindly arranged a seat on the speedboat at US$10pp.
Only negative was that there was no hot water for the shower, not even sun-warmed.
thank you for staying. hope to see you again

Verified reviewWe had an incredible experience at Wish Guesthouse Notilas Huraa, Kaafu Atoll. SK, the main manager leading the team, was outstanding—his hospitality made our stay truly memorable. Every meal we had was freshly prepared and tasted phenomenal, exceeding all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt well taken care of. We were collected from the harbor and even offered lifts to the beach. They arranged exciting activities for us, like dolphin trips and jet skiing, which added so much fun to our holiday. The guesthouse was spotless, with our rooms refreshed upon request. The location is unbeatable, being the closest to Bikini Beach, which we frequented throughout our stay. The upstairs terrace provided breathtaking views of the surrounding island—perfect for relaxing. One highlight was the small gym, which my son appreciated during the rainy moments. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and checking in was a breeze. I’d strongly recommend arranging transfers directly with the guesthouse to avoid any hassle. They can also arrange private charters for an extra fee, which we utilized and found worthwhile. This guesthouse offers everything—friendly staff, delicious food, clean and comfortable rooms, and a fantastic location. It truly is the best guesthouse on the island. Highly recommended for an unforgettable stay!
we would like to thank you for staying wish Guesthouse, thank you for ur feed back. we always try to best service to the our customers. hope to see you again soooon.

Verified reviewA very clean and beautiful guest house. Each and every staff was very friendly and courteous. I was accompanied by my old parents. The staff took extra care to see that they were comfortable. They were accommodated in the ground floor. Vegetarian options in the country of Maldives are very limited, but the Indian Chef at the guest house, cooked rice and dal for my parents, who were pure vegetarians, while the rest enjoyed the delicious non-vegetarian fare. Since I had a gluten allergy, I was exclusively provided with a gluten free oatmeal breakfast. The guesthouse is a walking distance from the beach and there are shops and cafes nearby. The staff took us to the beaches in buggies whenever my parents were too tired Everything was arranged for us according to the different ages and tastes in our group. The youngsters were happy that the guest house had a gym right outside their room. Snorkeling, Scuba diving, Kayaking, the sun set cruise, driving us to places selling Maldivian curios, the staff ensured that we enjoyed it all. Thank you, Raseel, Yappo, Aniket Roy, Parvez, Rahim (Excuse me for missing out names or spelling them wrong) for a wonderful vacation.
