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 reviewTerrible Experience – Do Not Recommend! Our stay was extremely disappointing. The room was dirty, with gnats flying everywhere, making it impossible to feel comfortable. The bedding smelled old and musty, so bad that it was hard to sleep. The worst part was the lack of communication from the owner. When we messaged about the condition of the hotel, there was zero response-no effort to fix the issues or even acknowledge them. Overall, this was one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve had. Absolutely do not recommend! P.s. It felt like the owner was trying to squeeze every bit of profit out of the hotel, which is why the attitude towards the hotel and its guests was so lacking.

Our experience at Thoddo Inn was disappointing from the beginning. The initial communication before our arrival was poor, as the owner failed to respond to messages and showed little interest in resolving our issue with rescheduling the booking. On the day of our arrival, we managed to contact the owner by phone, only to be told he hadn't replied earlier because he had been on a sandbank without signal. We had no choice but to arrive on the original dates as the booking was prepaid, and the owner showed no willingness to accommodate any changes. Upon arrival, the accommodation itself was underwhelming for several reasons. The toilet was dismantled. Also, the air conditioning hose was positioned in the bathroom at about 2 meters high, dripping water constantly—a setup that felt far from comfortable. The location was also inconvenient, situated directly next to a mosque, meaning early morning prayers at 5:00 AM would wake us next morning. The breakfast was small and simple but tasted good. The only highlight was a helpful young staff member from India who was always willing to assist with anything we needed. Thankfully, we stayed only one night, but that was more than enough. I would not recommend this accommodation. There are far better and more affordable options available in the area.

Verified reviewThoddoo is a beautiful island with perfect beach for snorkling.
The speedboat was not arranged. Nobody was waiting for us when we arrived. We have to come to the hotel on our own draging the siutcases all along. The room was not clean and it had a foul smell. It was cleaned for us but reluctantly. The lock was broken. The toilet did not flush. It was repaired after we complained for the fifth time. Bathroom was mouldy. The host was not even polite. Rolling his eyes. Did not even apologize. Wifi was not working. We had to leave the room before 10.30 although the check it time was 13.30 because there were other guests coming. Because the room is looking at the garden there is no privacy. It was far the worst experience in years of traveling.
We are very about this we always book a speed boat for our guest if get arrival time we always book a speed boat but if we didn’t get a arrival time we can’t book a speed boat

Verified reviewSuper cozy and beautiful place. Specious and clean rooms. The host is absolutely amazing and friendly. We had a great boat trip organized by the hotel, visiting sandbank, swimming with Mantas and Nurse sharks - absolutely a must! We were super happy with our choice of staying there and if we return we would definitely choose it again :)

Verified reviewstaff was really friendly and location is great
The room was the worst we have ever stayed in, half open bathroom with insects and cockroaches, dirty everything, couldn't lock the room, and so much more. After the first night they gave us a new room because of everything. It was a bit better but still needs lots of fixing. For that price, it really was the worst

Verified reviewThe hotel is very nice
When you arrive to Maldives you need to book your first night in any hotel. We booked 1 night by booking. Once we arrive to the hotel we ask for 3 nights and we asked for better price, the owner confirmed, so we went to sleep. Next day during the breakfast the owner came and told us we have to leave because our room was already booked by internet during the night. So, we spend our first day in the island looking for a new hotel because the owner prefers guest from internet because they paid more money as us. Good hotel but not the relation with the customer.

Verified reviewAdam and his wife were very friendly and accommodating during our entire stay. He really tried to go above and beyond to give us a great experience on the island. He gave us free snorkels to use which was amazing. They were also extremely accommodating towards our dietary requirements as my boyfriend is vegan, they made him a great breakfast with vegetables and roshi instead! Really appreciated that. To finish it off he gave us a beautiful papaya, coconut plant & other fruits to take back home which was extremely kind. The location is great, very close to the bikini beach. Also super close to a good supermarket and lots of the restaurants. The room itself is also very satisfactory.
Breakfast was a bit unorganised in terms of timing and I missed having access to coffee + tea facilities in the mornings.

Verified reviewWe were initially supposed to stay at the Itha Thoddoo Inn on Thoddoo Island for only three nights, but we ended up spending our entire vacation there. Our host, Adam, was fantastic. He took us on a snorkeling excursion to see manta rays, turtles, and sharks, and his hospitality was exceptional. The accommodation was lovely and our host had a very personal and welcoming approach. Thoddoo Island was a true paradise on earth. Adam even surprised us with a birthday celebration. Overall, our experience at Itha Thoddoo Inn was so positive that we decided to stay there for the duration of our trip. We highly recommend this accommodation and its wonderful host, Adam.Thank you very much and see you soon
