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.).

SingaporeFly traps and mosquito traps can be introduced to the common eating areas as the flies and mosquitoes can be quite annoying to deal with while eating. But otherwise everything was perfect :)
Our stay on Rasdhoo was the absolute best thanks to Ameen and his team. Right from the get go, we were welcomed at the pier by Ameen and brought around on a short tour of the island whilst en route to the guesthouse. Upon reaching the guesthouse, we were provided with cold towels and refreshing juices. Even though we ran into issues with our luggage, which did not arrive in time before our speedboat left Male for Rasdhoo, Ameen went the extra mile and helped us in ensuring our luggage was received the day after, picking it up from the pier and delivering it to our doorstep. Our rooms were clean and spacious. Just about everything you can expect for the price point; nothing too fancy, but really comfortable to return to after a long day out in the sea or by the beach. As we went for the half-board meal plan, breakfast and dinner was included. Breakfast is a small buffet style selection, with around 5-6 dish offerings to choose from. Again, nothing too fancy, but it will do the job and fuel you up just right. While we were there the selection ranged from french toast to pancakes, sausages, eggs (boiled or fried), and a usual selection of fruit. Dinner is ala carte and prepared by Nazmul, the cook. I would like to give a huge shoutout to Alu; our guide (the BEST guide ever btw) on all the snorkeling expeditions. Everyday, he would tirelessly bring us around to all the different snorkeling locations, always ensuring our safety and helping us with any issues that would come up along the way. He would also go the extra mile to get us incredible shots of the marine life on his GoPro. Thanks to his guidance, we saw many turtles, manta rays, and a couple sharks while we were on Rasdhoo.

SpainEverything was right.
We stayed there for three nights and had a great time. It is clean and comfortable. It is run by a person called Allo who is very attentive and helpful. We went on a really memorable snorkelling tour, Allo took some great photos and videos with the Gopro. He took great care of us, especially my wife who was getting seasick on the boat. It is an establishment with basic facilities but sufficient to enjoy Rasdhoo.

RussiaWonderful place, we liked everything very much, we were met at the airport, put on a speedboat, met and helped bring things to the hotel, on the spot we were met with drinks, the room for three is large, there is a bathroom, very comfortable mattresses on the bed, everything is clean, nothing was heard inside from outside, delicious breakfasts with fruits and large dishes, if you order food additionally. We also took with them a snorkeling tour on three spots, we were wildly delighted, the guys took a lot of water for us, watched us very carefully while we were in the water, we managed to see turtles, rays and a shark on the first spot, and others then we receved cool videos under the water from the gopro. Also we were given coconuts for goodbye at the check out, I highly recommend this place, they are very hospitable and client-oriented guys, very friendly. We'll come again. Thank you guys for everything!

AustraliaPublic ferry only travels to Rasdhoo a couple times a week so it was difficult to island hop and there is no access to private islands unless you have a booking there.
Rasdhoo has clean and beautiful beaches. I enjoyed the peacefulness with fewer tourists, during the non peak period. Food was fairly cheap compared to home (Australia).

FranceWe took half board, and we were quite happy with dinners à la carte, however, breakfasts were very limited buffets. The cook did his best of his resources, and, apparently, there were not mush.
We loved our stay on Rasdhoo. Fantastic location with a beautiful beach and amazing reef in a few minutes walk from the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff! It felt like we were visiting family, say our old aunty :) A cute secured courtyard with sand and palm shade compensated a bit shabby furniture and bathroom facilities.

FranceThe breakfast is a bit too much gluten and sugar. Difficult to dry the clothes after swimming - a simple rack in the room would help. The air-conditioning is close to the bed and noisy but we got used to it.
Best decision was to go to Rasdhoo during Ramadan month because 80% of the island is in construction of new hotels. The only restaurant worth eating on the island is Lemon drop. The Chinese one is overpriced, the Lagoon is not tasty. You need to have US dollars in cash for paying the hotel and the restaurants, the bank in the airport will sell you local currency at worst rate than used on islands. Careful with speed boats - there's only one per day to local island at 16h and if your plane arrives later, you're stuck in airport or Male for a night that I recommend to avoid at all cost. The guesthouse is fine, I was choosing cautiously, very close to the snorkelling area. Don't repeat my mistake and choose the mask carefully before you travel! I took a full face for easy breath but it was leaking, apparently the simple mask that fits your face, an anti-fog and a pipe are better. The bedroom and the shower were spacious, there was even room service of changing towels, providing a bottle of water and wiping the floor. The bed is comfy.

JapanAlthough we highlight the hotel staff's sincerity and love the simplicity of the hotel's facilities, those seeking superficial luxury during their stay may not be satisfied.
The charm of local islands should be the ability to enjoy both the local culture and the beautiful nature of the Maldives. In this regard, Rasdhoo is the perfect place. Ordinary people live in close proximity. The hotel offers attractive snorkeling tours at affordable prices, and we participated in one or two tours every day. The captain of the boat was a real fisherman, the father of Ameen, who seems to be responsible for the hotel's operations. Our snorkeling guide was thoughtful and had a knack for finding turtles. All the staff were very kind and always smiling. On the way back from a snorkeling tour, they offered us the opportunity to fish. We caught two fish, which they grilled for our dinner free of charge. It was one of the most enjoyable stays of my life.

ItalyThe room is a bit outdated and maybe some renovation would be best!
Ameen and Alu made our stay perfect. The guesthouse is simple but comfortable, very close to the bikini beach. Rooms are spacious, with private bathroom, air conditioning, fridge and shared balcony. What is really amazing is the staff: they try everyday to make you feel at home, solving every little issue, organizing the best excursions whenever we wished, even taking us to the port during a storm with a small ape car and an umbrella. They really care for you to have the best possible time in maldives, while paying a low price to be in one of the most beautiful and dreamy locations in the world. We saw nurse shark, mantas, turtles and any kind of fish we dreamt of. We recommend Aqua Blu if you wish to be in the maldives, at a reasonable price, living an authentic and local experience.
